What to know locally in Centurion
Most fitting in Centurion happens in new or recently sold homes in Irene, Eldoraigne and Rooihuiskraal. The key step is checking that the screed is dry, which contractors do with a meter, and that it is level. Estate managers may require notice, set working hours and ask contractors to carry in materials by hand. Sanding is less common here, mainly for the few older farm-style homes near Irene and Lyttelton Manor.
Floors and homes in Centurion
Centurion is mostly built from the 1990s onward, so its floors look nothing like Johannesburg's old suburbs. Lifestyle estates and security complexes around Irene, Eldoraigne and the lake dominate, nearly all on concrete slabs, with office parks beside the highway. That makes screed moisture and level the main technical questions. Estate rules often shape what you can do, from underlay noise limits in upper-floor units to timber decks facing the golf course or dam. Winters are dry and summers stormy, so boards need acclimatising on site. Jobs here are usually fresh installations by contractors who work estate to estate, not restorations of century-old boards.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Builders, developers and renovators: new site-finished boards sanded flat and given their first coats of finish
- Homeowners: old pine, Oregon or kiaat floors sanded back and sealed to look new again
- Offices, practices and showrooms: scarred boardroom and reception floors sanded and sealed over a weekend
