Fitting & restoration in Tzaneen: local notes
Older houses in Tzaneen and Duiwelskloof often have suspended timber floors that can hide borer or termite damage. A good contractor lifts a board or two and looks underneath before quoting. Farmhouses at Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof can be cold and damp in winter, so sealing is worth doing carefully. Expect fitters to quote for travel to remote properties, and ask for a site visit rather than a phone price.
What lies underfoot in Tzaneen
Tzaneen is the damp end of Limpopo. The Lowveld around the town is warm and humid with heavy summer rain, and the hills of Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof above it are cooler and often misty. Boards here take up moisture more easily than on the dry plateau, and mould, borer and termites are all worth planning for. Housing ranges from town homes and farmhouses on avocado and mango estates to lodges and holiday cottages in the forests. Because the area is so spread out, floor layers often cover long distances between orchards and towns. Give timber extra time to settle, and ask how the fitter handles damp-prone rooms.
