Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a thatch roof need re-ridging?
Most ridges need attention every 8-12 years, well before the rest of the roof, since the ridge takes the most weather exposure. We'll tell you honestly if a full re-thatch is needed or if re-ridging alone will do.
Does fireproofing make thatch fireproof?
No roof material treatment makes thatch completely fireproof, but a proper fire retardant treatment significantly slows how fast flame spreads, buying critical time. Many insurers ask for proof of treatment on thatch-roofed properties.
How do I know if my thatch needs repair or full replacement?
It depends on how much of the roof is thinning versus still sound, and the condition of the ridge and structure underneath. We assess on-site and quote for what's actually needed — not a full re-thatch if a section repair will do.
Can you match new thatch to existing roofing?
Yes, section repairs are matched to the density and pitch of the surrounding thatch so they blend in rather than standing out.
Do you work on lapas and bomas, or only main roofs?
Both. Lapa and boma thatching is a large part of the work we do in Waterkloof and Mooikloof specifically.
