Repairs & protection in Centurion: local notes
Insurers and HOAs in Centurion often ask for a lightning mast installed to the relevant SANS standard, and some want it tested and certified again after a few years. <a href="/lightning-protection/">Lightning protection</a> installers work here often. After a hail storm, check the weather side and the ridge first, and ask the thatcher for photos you can send to your insurer before any repair starts.
Centurion: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Centurion is estate country. Between the N1, the R21 and the Ben Schoeman, security estates have gone up one after another, and many of them allow or even favour thatch on houses, clubhouses and pool lapas. That means HOA rules come first: roof pitch, ridge style, the colour of the cement ridge and where a lightning mast may stand are often written into the architectural guidelines. Older suburbs such as Eldoraigne and Lyttelton have their own garden lapas, and the Irene smallholdings bring in farm style venues. Thatchers from both Pretoria and Johannesburg work here, so you can usually get more than one quote. Storm season is long, and estates often ask for proof of lightning protection.
Typical re-thatching requests in the area come from:
- Estate homes and HOAs: a re-thatch done to the estate's guidelines, with HOA approval first
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: the oldest guest rooms re-thatched first and the rest planned over years
- Homeowners: a worn family home roof stripped and re-laid in one dry season
