Secunda notes on materials & supplies
Nothing much is sold locally for thatch, so <a href="/thatch-grass/">grass</a>, treated poles and laths are usually trucked in with the job. Ask whether materials are in the quote and who stores them if the crew starts later than planned. Some homeowners here choose a <a href="/synthetic-thatch/">synthetic thatch</a> or a thatch-look tile on a small lapa to cut maintenance; ask about the fire rating before deciding.
Who builds with thatch in Secunda
Secunda was built around a large fuel plant, and its suburbs are mostly tiled and sheeted roofs, so be realistic: thatch here is a lapa, not a house. Garden lapas behind homes in Secunda and Trichardt, braai areas at clubs and a few lapas on smallholdings toward Evander and Kinross make up most of the work. Out on the farmland toward Bethal, older farmhouses and lapas on maize and grazing farms carry thatch too. The flat, open Highveld here has strong summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and cold, windy winters with grass fires. Few thatchers are based in Secunda itself, so quotes often come from crews in eMalahleni, Middelburg or the East 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
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: treating thatch over seating near grills, heaters and pizza ovens
- Farms and smallholdings: protecting farm lapas and rondavels when winter veld fires run
