Slate, stone and weather in Welkom
Welkom is a planned gold-mining town laid out in circular suburbs, and many uniform mine-era brick houses are now being renovated. Owners replace worn lounge and passage floors with charcoal or grey slate, add slate to stoeps and braai areas, and clad garden walls and entrances in stone. Flat Free State plains bring hard winter frost, so outdoor tiles need frost-tolerant, well-sealed stone and a solid bed. Summer hail marks old tile and fibre-cement roofs, and slate-look sheets from earlier decades may contain asbestos, so have them checked before any work. Local merchants stock common tiles and paving, with larger slate orders delivered from Bloemfontein.
Typical roof tiles requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: re-tiling a family home roof, often moving from worn concrete to a new colour
- Older and heritage homes: clay or slate tiles that match the character of older homes, subject to local rules
- Townhouses and complexes: matching tiles across a complex, ordered from one batch and agreed with the body corporate
- New builds and developments: tiles ordered to match the plans, with pallets delivered when the trusses are ready
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: roof tiles for restaurants, hotels and offices, with delivery timed around trading
- Security and golf estates: roof tiles chosen from the approved colours and profiles in the estate design guidelines
