Vehicles, boats & commercial in Welkom: local notes
Taxi owners in Thabong and on the routes to Odendaalsrus and Virginia need rear benches and roof linings redone regularly. Mine and contractor bakkies come in for tough vinyl seats and canvas covers. The hospital and clinics send treatment couches for recovering in cleanable vinyl, and churches in Thabong ask for padded chairs and pew cushions to be recovered before big services.
Welkom: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Welkom was planned as a gold mining town, with wide streets, traffic circles and rows of mine houses, and many of those houses are now owned by families who have lived in them for decades. That means plenty of solid lounge suites, dining sets and wingbacks from the mining years that are worth recovering rather than replacing. Riebeeckstad and the older suburbs bring this kind of work, while Thabong has home upholsterers and a busy taxi trade. Mine vehicles and contractor bakkies from around Odendaalsrus and Virginia need seats rebuilt and covers fitted. Workshops sit in the industrial area and near the CBD. Dust from the mine dumps and dry winters are hard on fabric and leather.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a home-based salon or a small family takeaway with a few seats to redo
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: dealership waiting lounges and service centre seating that sees heavy daily use
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: shopfitters, interior designers and furniture makers subcontracting the upholstery work
