Welkom notes on fitting & restoration
Sanding and repairs in Welkom often focus on parquet laid in the sixties and seventies in Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs. Loose blocks, worn sealer and damp patches are the usual issues. Fitters who work here also cover Virginia and Odendaalsrus, so ask which days they are in your area. If the slab sweats or is uneven, a contractor should tell you before any wood goes down.
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: squeaks, lifted boards and borer damage fixed in bedrooms, passages and living rooms
- Landlords and letting agents: damaged boards patched between tenants so the floor does not need replacing
- Builders, developers and renovators: snags such as lifted boards, gaps and chipped edges put right before handover

For homeowners, the biggest group here, that usually means squeaks, lifted boards and borer damage fixed in bedrooms, passages and living rooms.
