Waterproofing in Free State
Waterproofing in Free State is mostly asked for on flat concrete roofs, parapets, box gutters and balconies. Ask local waterproofing contractors to find the source of the leak first, to say whether they recommend torch-on or a liquid system for your roof, and what guarantee they give in writing.
The main waterproofing page explains the types, the checks and the costs in more detail.
Free State notes on painting services
Painters in Bloemfontein work across Westdene, Langenhoven Park and the newer estates, and student rentals near the university are often repainted over the December break. In Welkom and Virginia, contractors repaint mine era housing and older shops. Sasolburg's plants call for commercial teams that handle industrial coatings and steel. In Clarens and Bethlehem, painters work around sandstone, timber and guest houses. Ask whether the team has done sandstone or heritage work before.
Free State walls, roofs and weather
The Free State is known for its sandstone. Old public buildings in Bloemfontein, many homes in the eastern towns of Bethlehem, Ficksburg and Clarens and plenty of farmhouses are built with it, and painting near it needs care, because sandstone is usually best left unpainted or treated only with breathable products. Elsewhere the stock is face brick and plastered homes, mining town housing around Welkom and Virginia, and industrial plants in Sasolburg. Winters are cold with hard frost, summers bring storms and hail, and dry spring winds carry dust. Homeowners, landlords near the goldfields, farmers with sheds and silos, and municipalities and schools ask for painters and paint.
The requests we see from Free State usually come from:
- Homeowners: a leaking flat roof, balcony or parapet traced and sealed with a membrane system
- Landlords and sellers: a recurring leak fixed properly before ceilings and tenants' belongings get damaged
- Factories, farms and mines: factory box gutters, concrete roof slabs and loading dock canopies waterproofed
