What to know locally in Eastern Cape

Central and Walmer in Gqeberha, and Southernwood in East London, have older houses with pine floors that sand and reseal well. Makhanda's Georgian and Victorian cottages often need board repairs before sealing. Sanders from Gqeberha travel to Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and Graaff-Reinet, so group rooms together, and ask about dust control for occupied guesthouses and holiday lets.

Eastern Cape: climate, homes and floors

The Eastern Cape coast is windy and mild, with sea air and a spread of rainfall from east to west. Boards behave well if they have time to settle, but salt and damp can affect finishes. Gqeberha and East London have Victorian and Edwardian homes with pine floors, plus 1970s houses and newer estates on slabs. Makhanda, Graaff-Reinet and the Karoo towns have old stone cottages with timber floors worth restoring, and Jeffreys Bay and Port Alfred attract holiday homes. Independent carpenters and small floor firms cover most of the province, with specialists travelling for bigger or distant jobs.
