Welkom notes on sites, kit & prices
Buyers here include owners of empty buildings, scrap and metal dealers, shop owners and farmers. Typical purchases are battery alarms, steel doors, padlocks, floodlights and cameras. Caretaking contracts are often priced per month with a minimum number of visits. Prices depend on the size of the building, whether services are connected, and how far crews must travel from Welkom or Bloemfontein.
Properties and sites in Welkom
Welkom is a planned goldfields town of wide streets and traffic circles, where some mines have scaled back and many properties stand empty or only partly used. Security here often means caretaking vacant buildings, protecting stock and metal on commercial premises, and guarding scrapyards, depots and workshops with night guards and CCTV. Homeowners in Dagbreek, Riebeeckstad and Jan Cilliers Park combine alarms, beams and armed response, while Thabong residents ask for gate motors, bars and patrol links. Farms near Virginia and Hennenman join rural safety networks. Salt pans and summer storms bring lightning, so surge protection matters. Installers work from Welkom, with Bloemfontein suppliers on larger jobs.
