Building conditions in Germiston

Germiston, the seat of the City of Ekurhuleni, has a dense concentration of engineering works, foundries and warehouses in Wadeville, Elandsfontein and Germiston South, where older factory buildings are often extended, re-roofed or refurbished. Older houses in Primrose, Lambton and Dinwiddie, many with pressed-steel ceilings, sash windows and corrugated roofs, need roof replacements, damp treatment and updated bathrooms and kitchens. Ground near old mining land can be variable, so engineers may want soil tests before larger work. Plans are approved by Ekurhuleni. Nearby Katlehong has steady demand for home extensions and backyard rooms, and summer hail and thunderstorms regularly damage roofs.
