Repairs & protection in Brits: local notes
Homes on the Magaliesberg slopes face veld fires in the dry months, so firebreaks and <a href="/thatch-fire-protection/">fire protection</a> are worth discussing. Lightning masts are common, and insurers often ask for them. Roofs near the water and under trees can stay damp and need cleaning and combing. Buyers of thatched houses around the dam often ask for an inspection before transfer; ask whether a certificate is issued.
Thatch in Brits
Brits is a farming and factory town, but the thatch story here is really the Hartbeespoort Dam a short drive east. Around the dam, Schoemansville and the estates on the Magaliesberg slopes are full of thatched homes, lapas, restaurants and weekend houses, and many thatchers are based in the area or come out from Pretoria. In Brits itself, garden lapas and farm buildings on the irrigated land along the Crocodile River make up most of the work. Summers are hot, with thunderstorms and lightning; winters are dry, and the mountain slopes burn. Estates around the dam usually have architectural guidelines, so check them before you design anything.
Typical thatch roof inspections requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a report before buying a thatched house, so there are no surprises later
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: the thatch over the dining area checked for the insurer
- Resorts and holiday parks: a yearly inspection across all thatched units with photos
