Vanderbijlpark notes on repairs & protection
River-facing roofs under willows grow moss and stay wet, so a gentle <a href="/thatch-roof-cleaning/">clean</a> and treatment every few years is common. Birds from the reed beds pull thatch for nests and leave holes; netting can help. On resorts with many thatched chalets, a fire plan with extinguishers at each unit and a lightning mast near the main buildings is worth discussing with your insurer.
Vanderbijlpark: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Vanderbijlpark was built as a steel town, and its grid of suburbs has little thatch. The river changes that. Along the Vaal, west of town toward Parys, riverside plots, holiday homes and resorts have thatched chalets, boathouses, bars and big lapas looking over the water, and Vaalpark across the river has homes with pool lapas. Weekend river properties are often empty during the week, so small problems can go unnoticed until they leak. Damp air by the water grows moss on shaded roofs, and birds nesting in the reeds love pulling at thatch. Most crews come from Vereeniging, the south of Johannesburg or further afield.
The requests we see from Vanderbijlpark usually come from:
- Resorts and holiday parks: a rolling pest plan for rows of thatched units
- 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
