Randfontein notes on fitting & restoration
Most sanding work here is on old pine floors in Greenhills, Randgate and around the older streets near the town centre. Suspended boards can be loose where nails have worked free, so a good fitter re-fixes them first and fills gaps after sanding. Dust control matters in small rooms. Quotes are per square metre, and a site visit shows whether boards have borer damage or damp from a blocked vent.
What lies underfoot in Randfontein
Randfontein sits on the western edge of the Witwatersrand, and its floors show it. Many older houses in the town centre and Greenhills were built for mine and municipal staff, often with suspended pine boards over a ventilated crawl space. Those boards stay sound when the airbricks are kept clear and the ground outside slopes away from the walls. Dry Highveld winters pull moisture out of timber, so gaps open in July and close again after the summer storms. Local requests are mostly sanding and sealing old pine, patching boards where a wall was moved, and laying laminate over a levelled slab in smaller houses. Many fitters travel in from Krugersdorp.
