Kimberley notes on fitting & restoration
Sanding in Kimberley needs patience. Boards in heritage-age houses can be thin from earlier sanding, nails may stand proud, and gaps between planks can be wide. A skilled sander checks for borer and termite damage and tells you honestly how much material is left. Repairs mean matching old pine or Oregon, which can take time to find. Homes in Hadison Park and Ritchie are usually newer and simpler, but still need a site visit.
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.

- Homeowners: old pine, Oregon or kiaat floors sanded back and sealed to look new again
