What to know locally in Newcastle
Sanding and sealing is a good way to renew older suspended floors in Newcastle and in the small towns of Dannhauser and Charlestown.

Hall floors in schools and churches are often sanded in the school holidays, so book early.
Floors and homes in Newcastle
Newcastle is an inland town in the north of KwaZulu-Natal, where winter nights are cold and dry and the days swing a long way from the morning chill. In houses heated by stoves and heaters, timber can shrink and show gaps by August, then swell back with the summer rains. The housing stock mixes older brick homes on suspended floors with newer houses on slabs, and the industrial history of the area still shapes the local trades. Many people here ask for hard-wearing floors that cope with dry air, school and church halls need regular refinishing, and fitters often serve nearby Dannhauser and Utrecht as well.

- Schools, halls, gyms and studios: heavy-duty film finishes for halls, classrooms and studios, resealed in the school holidays
