Johannesburg notes on fitting & restoration
Sanding and sealing in Johannesburg is mostly about older suburbs such as Parktown North, Orange Grove and Observatory, where suspended floors have been polished many times. Fitters will check for loose boards, past borer holes and damp in the crawl space before touching the sander. Expect gap filling on dry-season floors. Houses in Bez Valley and Kensington often keep parquet under old carpet, so lifting a corner first is worth doing.
Floors and homes in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is old by Highveld standards, and its floors show it. Suburbs such as Parktown, Melville and Houghton have homes from the mining boom years, many on suspended timber floors over a ventilated crawl space, with Oregon or pine boards that outlast several owners. Winters are dry and bright, summer brings afternoon storms, and the swing between them makes boards shrink and swell. Restoration is the big job here: sanding, filling gaps and resealing. Fitters range from small family teams to large contractors serving the northern suburbs. Owners of newer townhouses usually ask for laminate or engineered boards, while heritage homes call for careful repair work.
Typical parquet floor restoration requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: 1970s herringbone blocks under old carpet, sanded back and sealed for lounges and dining rooms
- Landlords and letting agents: tired parquet brought back between tenants instead of ripping it out for new flooring
- Flats and townhouses: parquet in older blocks restored quietly, with the body corporate told about sanding hours
