Decks, finishes & trims in Kimberley: local notes
Decks and stoeps in Kimberley bake in summer sun, so oil or seal them each year and use tough timber such as balau or treated pine. Flat-roofed verandas on older homes in Belgravia suit simple boards fixed over a proper frame. Termites are a threat, so ask about treatment class and keep timber off bare soil. Polishing and cleaning of old floors is best quoted per job after seeing the condition.
Kimberley: climate, homes and floors
Kimberley is old by South African standards, and much of its floor work is about looking after what was built long ago. Victorian and Edwardian houses in Belgravia and Kenilworth often have suspended timber floors with airbricks beneath, topped with pine or Oregon boards that have stood for decades. The air is dry, summers are hot and winter nights are cold, so boards open at the joints and finishes wear thin. Termites and borer have had a long time to find those floors. New building is smaller than in the big cities, so most local work is repair, sanding and careful matching of old boards. Specialist restorers are rare and may travel in.
The requests we see from Kimberley usually come from:
- Homeowners: a buff and fresh coat that brings dull pine or parquet back without a full sand
- Landlords and letting agents: a quick buff and recoat between tenants that hides scuffs and brightens a floor
- Schools, halls, gyms and studios: hall and gym floors polished in the school holidays and recoated for the term
