Building conditions in Alberton

Alberton falls under the City of Ekurhuleni, which handles building plan approvals, and combines family suburbs, hillside estates in Meyersdal and the large Alrode industrial area. Homes from the 1970s and 1980s in Brackenhurst and New Redruth are regularly extended and modernised, with new kitchens, bathrooms, patios and garages. Meyersdal's rocky koppies make excavation for foundations and pools slower, and steep stands may need retaining walls. Clay soils elsewhere on the East Rand need properly designed footings to limit cracking. Alrode's factories and warehouses bring industrial alterations and extensions, and summer hail and thunderstorms keep roofers and waterproofing contractors busy.
