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 slate cleaning and restoration requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: dull patios, stoeps and kitchen floors that have gone patchy after years of use
- Older and heritage homes: original slate floors and verandas with generations of polish, wax and dirt to remove
- Townhouses and complexes: shared courtyards and private patios where moss and stains build up in shade
- New builds and developments: new slate floors with cement haze and grout residue left behind after tiling
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant and hotel floors with grease, foot traffic and spills built up over time
- Security and golf estates: large pool decks and entrance floors that need a uniform, even finish again
