Our Services
From a single home roof to a full commercial lodge development — every project is handled with the same level of skill and care.
Thatch Roof Construction
We design and construct new thatch roofs for homes, cottages, farmhouses, outbuildings, and commercial properties across South Africa. Using only premium Cape Reed and Bushman Grass, our roofs are engineered to handle the full range of South African weather.
Re-thatching
When your thatch has reached the end of its lifespan, we strip and replace it completely. We assess the underlying structure, replace any damaged timber, and lay a fresh thatch layer to restore your roof to full performance.
Major Services
Comprehensive overhauls for roofs that need more than routine maintenance. We address structural issues, replace worn sections, repair ridges, and restore your roof to a sound and weatherproof condition.
Combing & Compacting
Regular combing and compacting extends the life of your thatch significantly. This process removes loose material, tightens the thatch layer, and improves water run-off — keeping your roof performing at its best between major services.
Thatch Removal
Safe and efficient removal of old or damaged thatch. We clear the roof completely, dispose of all material responsibly, and leave the structure clean and ready for re-thatching or an alternative roofing solution.
Waterproofing
Specialist waterproofing treatments that penetrate the thatch layer and create a barrier against moisture ingress. Ideal for roofs in high-rainfall areas or where leaks have been a recurring problem.
Roof Cleaning & Painting
We clean thatch roofs of moss, lichen, algae, and accumulated debris, then apply protective coatings that improve appearance and extend the life of the thatch. A clean roof is a healthier, longer-lasting roof.
Insect Repellent Treatment
Professional application of insect repellent treatments that deter borer beetles, wasps, and other insects from nesting in your thatch. Protects the structural integrity of the roof and reduces ongoing maintenance costs.
Dust Suppressor
Dust suppressor treatments bind loose thatch fibres and reduce the fine dust that can fall from the underside of a roof into living spaces. Particularly beneficial for interior thatch ceilings and entertainment areas.
Fire Guard Treatment
SANS-compliant fire retardant treatments applied to new and existing thatch roofs. Fire Guard significantly reduces the spread of flame in the event of a fire and is required by many insurers and local authorities.
Thatch Reports
Written condition reports for insurance purposes, property sales, or pre-purchase assessments. Our reports detail the current state of the thatch, estimated remaining lifespan, and recommended maintenance or remedial work.
