What to know locally in Welkom
Decks and covered stoeps in Welkom suffer frost on winter mornings and baking sun in summer, so a flexible finish and regular re-coating pay off. Backyard braai areas in Riebeeckstad and Dagbreek are the typical jobs. Treated pine is common and affordable, and hardwood lasts longer if you can afford it. Termites are less of a worry than in the north, but ask about treatment anyway.
Floors and homes in Welkom
Welkom was laid out in a hurry to house goldfield workers, and its streets of mine-built brick houses still define floor work today. Many of those homes sit on concrete slabs with thin screed, some with glued parquet or old vinyl tiles that need removing carefully. The Free State grassland is dry, frosty in winter and hot in summer, so timber moves seasonally. Mining has scaled back over the years, which means landlords, owners and small guesthouses often look for affordable repairs, not full replacement. Floor layers tend to serve the whole goldfields, from Welkom to Virginia and Odendaalsrus, and bigger firms may come in from Bloemfontein.
The requests we see from Welkom 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
- Builders, developers and renovators: a final clean and polish on boards after the builders have finished
