eMalahleni notes on fitting & restoration
Older company houses in Clewer and Del Judor may still have suspended pine or old parquet that responds well to sanding and sealing. Check for loose boards, borer holes and damp under the house before work begins. Fitters here are used to rental turnarounds, where a flat is stripped, repaired and refloored in a few days between tenants. Sander hire is common for single rooms.
Floors and homes in eMalahleni
Winters in eMalahleni are dry and cold at night, and heaters run hard, so boards lose moisture and shrink at the joints. Summer storms push humidity back up. Much of the housing is brick on concrete slabs, with older company and mine-linked houses in Clewer and Del Judor, some on suspended pine. Coal dust and fine ash settle on everything, so finish choice and cleaning habits matter. Fitting work comes from a mix of homeowners, landlords letting to mine and power station staff, and small offices along the main roads. Laminate and vinyl are common for rentals, while sanding old pine is asked for in older streets.
The requests we see from eMalahleni usually come from:
- Landlords and letting agents: tired parquet brought back between tenants instead of ripping it out for new flooring
- Homeowners: 1970s herringbone blocks under old carpet, sanded back and sealed for lounges and dining rooms
- Flats and townhouses: parquet in older blocks restored quietly, with the body corporate told about sanding hours
