Slate, stone and weather in Worcester
Worcester is a Breede River Valley town surrounded by vineyards, orchards and mountains, with older Cape Dutch and Victorian homes and newer complexes. Slate and stone are used on stoeps, courtyards, entrance halls and farm-stall and cellar floors. Summers are very hot and dry, so sealers fade on open terraces and dark slate gets hot in direct sun, while winter brings cold rain, frost and occasional snow on nearby peaks. Frost can crack thin or poorly bedded outdoor tiles, so use dense stone, flexible adhesive and a full bed. Heritage rules may apply to older buildings. Tile shops and merchants serve the town, with larger slate orders delivered from Paarl or Cape Town.
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
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: tile removal in a farmhouse, lodge or guest house, with rubble carried to a skip
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: tile removal in shops, restaurants and offices, often done after hours to limit disruption
- New builds and developments: taking out wrongly laid or damaged tiles in a new house so they can be redone
- Security and golf estates: removing dated tiles in an estate house before modern stone finishes go in
