What to know locally in Centurion
Insurers and HOAs in Centurion often ask for a lightning mast installed to the relevant SANS standard, and some want it tested and certified again after a few years. <a href="/lightning-protection/">Lightning protection</a> installers work here often. After a hail storm, check the weather side and the ridge first, and ask the thatcher for photos you can send to your insurer before any repair starts.
Thatch in Centurion
Centurion is estate country. Between the N1, the R21 and the Ben Schoeman, security estates have gone up one after another, and many of them allow or even favour thatch on houses, clubhouses and pool lapas. That means HOA rules come first: roof pitch, ridge style, the colour of the cement ridge and where a lightning mast may stand are often written into the architectural guidelines. Older suburbs such as Eldoraigne and Lyttelton have their own garden lapas, and the Irene smallholdings bring in farm style venues. Thatchers from both Pretoria and Johannesburg work here, so you can usually get more than one quote. Storm season is long, and estates often ask for proof of lightning protection.
Typical thatch roof inspections requests in the area come from:
- Estate homes and HOAs: inspections the HOA asks for, with fire and lightning checks
- Builders, architects and developers: an independent check of a thatch roof before handing over
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: an inspection for a new insurer before the policy starts
