Kempton Park notes on repairs & protection
Guesthouse owners usually need a <a href="/thatch-inspections/">thatch inspection</a> report for their insurer, covering the lapa's electrics, fire equipment and lightning protection. Masts near the airport should be discussed with the installer, who can check whether height rules apply. After storms, check the ridge and the weather side; hail can thin the thatch quickly on flat, open ground.
Kempton Park: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Living next to the country's busiest airport shapes thatch in Kempton Park. Bonaero Park and Glen Marais have many guesthouses for travellers, and a thatched lapa or breakfast area is a common feature, which means insurers and booking platforms ask questions. Birch Acres and Glen Marais also have family homes with braai lapas, while Spartan and Chloorkop are industrial. East of town, the Bredell plots have farm lapas and some thatched homes. The airport adds one practical point: for a tall lightning mast near the flight paths, ask the installer whether any height limits apply. Crews come from Benoni, Pretoria East and Midrand.
