Slate, stone and weather in Kathu
Kathu is a mining town on the Kalahari edge, with newer face-brick houses, complexes and lodges around the camel thorn veld. Owners use slate and stone on patios, pool surrounds, carports and entrance halls, and rustic stone suits the red sand surroundings. Summers are fiercely hot, so dark slate can burn bare feet in full sun, and UV breaks down sealers fast. Cold winter nights and rare heavy storms add movement, so use flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints. Dust makes honed or sealed floors easier to keep clean. Local merchants stock basic tiles, but slate, cladding and special orders are delivered from Kuruman, Kimberley or Gauteng.
Typical tile removal requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: lifting old kitchen, passage or patio tiles before a new slate floor is laid in a family home
- Townhouses and complexes: careful, low-noise tile removal in a townhouse, keeping to complex working-hour rules
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: tile removal in a farmhouse, lodge or guest house, with rubble carried to a skip
- New builds and developments: taking out wrongly laid or damaged tiles in a new house so they can be redone
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: tile removal in shops, restaurants and offices, often done after hours to limit disruption
- Security and golf estates: removing dated tiles in an estate house before modern stone finishes go in
