Pietermaritzburg notes on fitting & restoration
This is an old city for restoration work. Heritage homes in Scottsville, Clarendon and Town Hill often hold original pine, Oregon or yellowwood boards that can be sanded several times if they are thick enough. Check for borer, loose boards and old patches before sanding. Newer estates in Hilton and Howick are fitted over screed. Dustless machines are popular in occupied homes and in school and church halls.
Pietermaritzburg: climate, homes and floors
Pietermaritzburg lies in a bowl in the Midlands, warmer and stickier than the hills around it in summer, then dry and cold on winter mornings with frost in some outlying areas. That daily swing makes timber shrink and open its gaps in winter. The city has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian homes in Scottsville, Clarendon and Town Hill, many with raised timber floors, stamped tin ceilings and thick brick walls. Restorers here work on old pine and Oregon, and also on parquet from later decades. School and church halls add steady demand for sanding and sealing of larger floors.
