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 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
- Older and heritage homes: removing tiles in an older home while protecting original floors, skirtings and plaster
- Townhouses and complexes: careful, low-noise tile removal in a townhouse, keeping to complex working-hour rules
- 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
