Benoni notes on fitting & restoration
Fitting in Benoni often includes larger rooms and long passages, so a floor can run 40 or more square metres in one go. Sanders working in Farrarmere and Lakefield note old floors with years of wax, which needs a careful first pass. Quotes per square metre are firmer once the fitter has seen the room. Sander hire exists, but a large area is usually better left to a contractor.
What lies underfoot in Benoni
Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand, and the water shapes the housing. Rynfield, Northmead and Lakefield have large older stands, spacious stoeps and gardens, and homes of different ages, from timber-floored houses to later slab-built ones. Summer storms bring rain that can blow onto exposed stoeps and decks, while dry winters shrink interior timber. Smallholdings towards Putfontein often have farm-style homes with big lounges and pine ceilings that suit matching wooden floors. Requests lean towards outdoor timber, braai decks, and sanding old pine or kiaat. Fitters and deck builders here are used to working on larger plots with long driveways and mature trees.
