Welkom notes on supplies & care
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.
Upholstery work in Welkom
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 manual or electric staple gun and remover for recovering chair seats at home
- Churches, schools and halls: staple guns and removers for recovering church pew cushions and hall chairs in bulk
- Offices and businesses: basic tools for facilities staff refitting office chair seats and reception benches
