What to know locally in Kimberley
New floors in Kimberley often go into renovated older houses in Belgravia, Kenilworth and Beaconsfield, where the question is what lies under the old boards. Some owners keep the timber and restore it, others lay laminate or engineered boards over a levelled surface. Check for damp and ventilation first, as blocked airbricks cause problems. Suppliers carry stock locally, but unusual timbers and widths may need to be ordered in from elsewhere.
Floors and homes in Kimberley
Kimberley is old by South African standards, and much of its floor work is about looking after what was built long ago. Victorian and Edwardian houses in Belgravia and Kenilworth often have suspended timber floors with airbricks beneath, topped with pine or Oregon boards that have stood for decades. The air is dry, summers are hot and winter nights are cold, so boards open at the joints and finishes wear thin. Termites and borer have had a long time to find those floors. New building is smaller than in the big cities, so most local work is repair, sanding and careful matching of old boards. Specialist restorers are rare and may travel in.
