Repairs & protection in Randburg: local notes
Homes on the slopes of Northcliff and Bromhof have an exposed outlook, and a thatched lapa there is a candidate for a <a href="/lightning-protection/">free-standing mast</a>. For older lapas, the usual repairs are a cracked ridge, holes from birds pulling grass for nests, and thin spots over the braai. Ask whether bird netting is worth adding once the holes are patched.
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 pest control requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: birds pulling grass from the eaves stopped with mesh and holes repaired
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: a wedding lapa cleared of nests before the busy season
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: birds kept off the dining area roof with netting
