Welkom walls, roofs and weather
Welkom is a planned gold mining town, built in the decades after gold was found in the area, and much of its housing was put up for mine staff: rows of similar face brick and plastered houses with tiled or corrugated roofs, mine hostels and flats. As some mines have closed, many of these homes have passed to new owners and landlords who want them repainted and repaired. Red dust from mine dumps settles on walls and roofs, and the Highveld brings summer hail and frosty winters. Landlords, homeowners buying former mine houses, businesses in the CBD, schools and remaining mine operations ask for painters, roof paint and supplies most.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Homeowners: fibre membrane and liquid coats on a leaking flat roof over a lounge
- Landlords and sellers: waterproofing tape on cracks and flashings before the rains in a rental
- Factories, farms and mines: torch-on and tape for factory flat roofs, gutters and plant room decks
