What Somerset West homes go through
Summer south-easter
The wind loosens gutters, lifts roof sheets and dries out exterior paint and timber. Summer is for painting, barge boards and the outdoor projects people have been putting off.
Winter rain off the Helderberg
Heavy rain finds every blocked gutter and hairline crack. Before winter it's gutters, roof repairs and waterproofing. After the first big storm it's leaks, damp patches and stained ceilings.
Older homes and new estates
Older homes near the town centre often need plumbing, ceiling and timber repairs. Newer homes in the estates are more about remodelling, with rules on contractor hours and finishes that I'm used to working within.
What I can do for you
Also bathroom, fireplace and outdoor-area remodelling, and general household repairs and maintenance.
