Durban notes on fitting & restoration
Fitters in Durban work on a mix of old suspended floors and new slabs. Homes in Berea, Musgrave and Greyville often have pine or Oregon boards that suit sanding and a fresh seal, with gaps filled where needed. Newer blocks in Umhlanga and La Lucia are usually floated or glued onto screed, so ask for a moisture reading first. Dustless sanding helps in flats where neighbours and body corporate managers object to mess.
Floors and homes in Durban
Durban is warm and humid for most of the year, and the sea air is hard on anything that moves with moisture. Timber takes up damp in summer and can cup if boards are fitted before they have settled. Many people here ask for sealed hardwood or engineered boards in flats along the beachfront and the Berea, where body corporate rules often decide the underlay. Older houses on the Berea and in Morningside still have suspended pine floors that need sanding and sealing, while newer apartments sit on concrete slabs. Termites are a known worry in KwaZulu-Natal, so good fitters check the subfloor first.
The requests we see from Durban usually come from:
- Flats and townhouses: an orbital sander for a small unit, used within the body corporate's noise hours
- Homeowners: a hired drum and edge sander over a weekend to strip old varnish from pine boards
- Landlords and letting agents: a quick DIY sand of worn boards between tenants to save on contractor costs
