What to know locally in Worcester

Fitting across the valley often means grouped trips to farms near Rawsonville and De Doorns, so ask whether travel is included. Older Worcester homes can have suspended floors that sand well, once borer and loose boards are dealt with. Slab floors in Avian Park and Zwelethemba need a moisture check and levelling. Dustless sanding helps in occupied farmhouses and offices.

What lies underfoot in Worcester

Worcester lies in the Breede River valley, ringed by mountains, with hot, dry summers and cold, wet winters. The air is dry for much of the year, so solid boards can shrink and open gaps in summer, then tighten after the winter rains. Housing includes older Cape Dutch and Victorian homes in town, farmhouses on fruit and wine farms, packhouse offices, and municipal and school buildings. Contractors often serve the whole valley, from Rawsonville to De Doorns, and travel between farms. People ask for tough floors for farm kitchens and offices, and for careful restoration of older timber floors.
