Randburg notes on materials & supplies
Small jobs in Randburg suit buying a modest load: a few dozen bundles of grass, a handful of treated poles and laths, binding wire and a <a href="/thatching-tools/">leggett</a> if you are doing it yourself. Most of it comes from yards on the West Rand and north of the city. For a lapa near the house, ask about a fire retardant applied after the roof is finished.
Randburg: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Randburg's thatch is mostly at a garden scale. Ferndale, Linden and Blairgowrie are settled suburbs with family homes on medium stands, and the usual thatched structure is a braai lapa or a carport style roof beside the house rather than a full thatched home. That brings one issue to the front: boundary distances. On a smaller stand a lapa can end up too close to the neighbour's wall or to the house itself, so check with the municipality before you build. Northcliff Hill is one of the highest points in the city, and homes on its slopes see their share of lightning. Crews come in from Fourways and the West Rand.
Typical thatch fire retardant requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a treated roof and a certificate before the insurer's renewal or a sale
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a treated lapa and cottage roofs near braai areas and guest fires
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: treated thatch halls where candles, heaters and events add risk
