Germiston notes on fitting & restoration
Fitters in Germiston often juggle two kinds of work: refinishing old floors in Primrose and Lambton, and quick commercial installs around Wadeville. Old floors may have several layers of past varnish that need a coarse first cut, and flats under a body corporate may restrict sanding hours. Dustless sanding is worth asking about for offices. Quote times depend on access, so describe stairs and lifts.
Germiston: climate, homes and floors
Germiston grew around the railway and the gold reef, and the age of its streets shows underfoot. Inner suburbs such as Dinwiddie and Lambton have houses from the early to mid twentieth century, many with timber floors on suspended frames and some with later parquet laid over them. The industrial belt around Wadeville and Isando adds a steady stream of offices, showrooms and canteens that want hard-wearing floors fitted quickly. Highveld frost nights and dry winters make boards shrink, so refinishing is best done in the drier months. Bedfordview homeowners nearby often ask for engineered boards, and several specialist sanders cover the East Rand from here.
Typical floor sanding requests in the area come from:
- Offices, practices and showrooms: scarred boardroom and reception floors sanded and sealed over a weekend
- Homeowners: old pine, Oregon or kiaat floors sanded back and sealed to look new again
- Shops, salons and cafés: worn shop floors sanded and resealed overnight so trading is barely interrupted
