Supplies & care in Welkom: local notes
Welkom has foam and fabric suppliers who cut cushions to size and stock webbing, hessian and staples, with wider ranges ordered from Bloemfontein. DIYers recovering dining chair seats can find staple guns and fabric locally. Dust from the mine dumps makes upholstery cleaning a regular job, and extraction machines can be hired for a weekend from rental shops in town.
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.
Typical upholstery supplies requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: webbing, wadding and staples for a DIY dining chair or footstool project at home
- Offices and businesses: castors, glides and fixings for keeping reception and boardroom seating in order
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: foam, glue, staples and thread for motor trimmers rebuilding seats and door cards
