What to know locally in Gauteng
Many Johannesburg homes in Melville, Parkview, Linden and Bez Valley carry old pine or parquet that sands back well when the blocks are sound. Pretoria suburbs such as Brooklyn and Arcadia have similar stock. Sanders here often work through the dry months, when floors are stable. Dustless machines are popular in occupied houses and flats where body corporates ask for tidy sites and set noise hours.
Gauteng: climate, homes and floors
Gauteng sits on the Highveld, where dry winters and cold nights follow hot, stormy summers. That swing pulls boards tight in July and swells them by the January rains, so expansion gaps matter more here than most people expect. Johannesburg and Pretoria have plenty of 1960s and 1970s homes with parquet laid in bitumen on slabs, and older suburbs with suspended pine over airbricks. Newer estates in Midrand and Centurion are mostly concrete slabs under engineered boards and laminate. Sanders, fitters and restorers are dense here, so quotes come quickly. Offices, showrooms and restaurants add steady commercial work.
