What lies underfoot in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg lies in a bowl in the Midlands, warmer and stickier than the hills around it in summer, then dry and cold on winter mornings with frost in some outlying areas. That daily swing makes timber shrink and open its gaps in winter. The city has a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian homes in Scottsville, Clarendon and Town Hill, many with raised timber floors, stamped tin ceilings and thick brick walls. Restorers here work on old pine and Oregon, and also on parquet from later decades. School and church halls add steady demand for sanding and sealing of larger floors.
Typical wooden floor repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: squeaks, lifted boards and borer damage fixed in bedrooms, passages and living rooms
- Schools, halls, gyms and studios: loose and split boards in halls and classrooms refixed or replaced in the holidays
- Landlords and letting agents: damaged boards patched between tenants so the floor does not need replacing
