Thatch in Germiston
Germiston is a rail and industrial town first. Wadeville, Isando and Elsburg are factories and warehouses, and you will drive a long way through them before seeing a thatched roof. The thatch that exists is in the residential pockets: Bedfordview's large older stands with pool lapas and the odd thatched home, smaller garden lapas in Primrose and Lambton, and some clubs and braai areas around Germiston Lake. So most requests are for a lapa, a repair or a gazebo rather than a new house. Crews usually travel in from Pretoria East, Benoni or the northern suburbs. Thunderstorms here come with hail and lightning like the rest of the Highveld.

- Homeowners: a treated roof and a certificate before the insurer's renewal or a sale
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: treating thatch over seating near grills, heaters and pizza ovens
