The main floor sanding page explains the types, the preparation and the costs in more detail.
Pretoria notes on fitting & restoration
Fitting and restoring in Pretoria varies by street. In Muckleneuk, Groenkloof and Villieria, older homes need sanding, sealing and the odd board replaced, and the work is done around furniture and tall ceilings. In Hatfield and Sunnyside, quick refits suit landlords between tenants. Fitters will check the old subfloor for damp near bathrooms and ask whether past floors were glued or nailed before agreeing a start day.
What lies underfoot in Pretoria
Pretoria sits lower and a little warmer than Johannesburg, and its floors have a different history. Government work, embassies and the university created a steady market for rentals, student flats and offices. Older neighbourhoods such as Arcadia, Muckleneuk and Brooklyn have stately homes with solid timber floors and tall ceilings, while Hatfield is full of converted houses and flats. Winters are dry and mild, summers wet, and jacaranda season means leaf litter on every stoep. Many Pretoria jobs are for landlords and agents wanting hard-wearing floors quickly between tenants, alongside owners restoring heritage boards in the older eastern suburbs.
Typical floor sanding requests in the area come from:
- Landlords and letting agents: worn floors refreshed between tenants for far less than replacing them
- Homeowners: old pine, Oregon or kiaat floors sanded back and sealed to look new again
- Flats and townhouses: floors sanded with dust extraction and set hours to keep neighbours and the body corporate happy
