What to know locally in Boksburg
The join between thatch and tiles is where most Boksburg lapas leak: the flashing lifts, water runs in under the thatch and the laths rot. <a href="/thatch-roof-repairs/">Repairs</a> usually mean redoing that join and the ridge. Rats and birds also like lapas near houses, so ask about mesh and sealing gaps when the thatcher is on the roof.
Who builds with thatch in Boksburg
Boksburg is a working East Rand town where thatch shows up in family back gardens rather than on the skyline. Sunward Park, Parkdene and Beyers Park have plenty of rectangular braai lapas joined to the house or built beside the pool, and around Boksburg Lake some homes and venues have thatched entertainment areas. Jet Park and Witfield are industrial, and Atlasville sits close to the airport. A lapa attached to the house raises its own questions: the join between the thatch and the tiled roof is a classic leak point, and fire rules for thatch close to the house need checking. Crews are usually drawn from Benoni, Kempton Park and Pretoria East.
Who asks for re-thatching around Boksburg, most often first:
- Homeowners: a worn family home roof stripped and re-laid in one dry season
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: a worn dining area roof stripped and re-laid in the slow season
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: the oldest guest rooms re-thatched first and the rest planned over years
