Mthatha notes on fitting & restoration
Fitters serving Mthatha, Tsolo and Libode often travel between jobs, so planning visits together can cut costs. On concrete slabs, ask for a moisture reading and levelling before any floor is fitted. Older buildings in town may have suspended timber floors that need checking for damp and borer before sanding. Clear access, a dry room and a power supply on site help sanders finish quickly.
Floors and homes in Mthatha
Mthatha has a humid, summer-rain climate in green rolling hill country, where damp air and heavy storms test any timber laid near an open door or an unsealed edge. Housing ranges from town houses and flats around the centre to large family homes and homesteads in the villages beyond, mostly on concrete slabs, with older buildings that may have suspended floors. Demand tends to come from homeowners, schools, clinics, guesthouses and offices. Because many specialist fitters and timber merchants are based in larger centres, some travel in for bigger jobs, so ask early about travel costs and lead times.
The requests we see from Mthatha usually come from:

- Schools, halls, gyms and studios: hardwood floors for halls and studios, laid and finished during school holidays
