eMalahleni notes on furniture reupholstery
Houses in Del Judor, Tasbet Park and Reyno Ridge often hold a solid lounge suite bought when the family first moved for mine work, and recovering it is usually cheaper than chasing a new one of the same size. In KwaGuqa and Lynnville the job is more often a well-used corner couch with flattened seat foam and broken webbing. Pick a tightly woven fabric or a faux leather that wipes clean of coal grime.
eMalahleni: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Coal country wears seats out fast. In eMalahleni the upholstery work that never stops is on wheels: mine bakkies, crew buses and contractor double cabs come off the collieries and power station roads with torn driver seats, split bolsters and covers clogged with fine black dust. Motor trimmers in the Ferrobank and other industrial areas off the N4 do much of this by the fleet, quoted per seat or per vehicle. At home the work is lounge suites and dining chairs in Del Judor, Tasbet Park and Reyno Ridge, plus township home workshops in KwaGuqa and Ackerville that recover couches at the kitchen table. Dust gets into everything here, so a cleanable fabric or a vinyl seat cover saves a second job.
The requests we see from eMalahleni usually come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: leather couches in dealership showrooms and waiting areas cleaned and recoloured
- Offices and businesses: leather boardroom and executive chairs and reception couches with worn seats recoloured
- Churches, schools and halls: leather chairs in a council chamber or a school boardroom recoloured and restitched
Local tips for eMalahleni
Asked for most in eMalahleni: mine bakkie and crew bus seats, seat covers, lounge suites and dining chairs. Where the workshops are: trimmers and upholsterers in the industrial areas off the N4, home workshops in KwaGuqa. A useful tip: ask the trimmer for a fleet price per seat and whether they can work at the mine yard.
Jobs range widely: one scuff to a full lounge suite. Here, car, bakkie and taxi owners lead the requests, typically for leather couches in dealership showrooms and waiting areas cleaned and recoloured. One local point to raise: fabric and foam come up the N4 from Pretoria; many workshops collect by bakkie.
