Fitting & restoration in Cape Town: local notes
Restoring old floors is a Cape Town speciality: Victorian homes in Woodstock, Salt River and Claremont often have yellowwood or pine boards that sand well when handled carefully. Check for borer and for damp under suspended floors before work starts. Dustless sanding is popular in occupied homes and flats. Fitters in Epping and Paarden Eiland serve both trade and private clients, so book restoration early.
What lies underfoot in Cape Town
Cape Town has wet winters and dry summers, with the south-easter blowing hard through the warmer months. Timber here feels both: winter damp can lift moisture in older suspended floors, while summer wind and sun dry boards and finishes. The city is full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Woodstock and Salt River with old pine or yellowwood floors, plus apartments in towers and conversions. Many fitters and restorers work from the city bowl and the southern suburbs. People ask most for sanding and sealing of old floors, for wood-look vinyl in flats, and for sundecks that survive coastal wind and salt.

- Homeowners: squeaks, lifted boards and borer damage fixed in bedrooms, passages and living rooms
