Benoni walls, roofs and weather
Benoni is known as the City of Lakes, with homes around Lake Benoni, Rynfield Dam and other pans, and old mine land between suburbs. Farrarmere, Northmead and Lakefield have many larger face brick and plastered family homes from the mid 20th century, while Rynfield and Crystal Park include newer complexes, with smallholdings further out. Daveyton has many brick homes. Damp near the lakes can lead to rising damp and mould, red dust blows off old dumps in winter, and Highveld hail hits roofs in summer. Requests are often for full exterior repaints, roof painting on old tiles, damp treatment and wood finishes on lakeside decks, from homeowners, landlords and complexes.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Homeowners: fresh gloss on front doors, window frames and the burglar bars
- Landlords and sellers: washable enamel on doors and skirtings that take knocks from tenants
- Body corporates and estates: matching enamel on all unit doors, gates and balcony railings in the estate
