Repairs & protection in Benoni: local notes
Moss and algae on the shaded, water-facing side of a roof are a lakeside pattern here, and a careful <a href="/thatch-roof-cleaning/">clean</a> without pressure washing is the first step. Weaver birds and other birds by the lakes pull thatch for nests, which leaves holes to patch and possibly net. On the holdings, keep a winter firebreak around stables and lapas.
Thatch in Benoni
Benoni is known for its lakes, and the homes around them account for much of its thatch. Lakeside houses in Lakefield and Farrarmere often have a thatched lapa or boathouse style roof looking over the water, and Rynfield's big stands carry pool lapas and some full thatched homes. North of town the agricultural holdings and Putfontein plots add farm lapas, stables and venues. Water nearby keeps the air damper on still mornings, so roofs facing the lakes under trees can grow moss faster than the Highveld average. Benoni also has thatchers of its own, which helps the whole East Rand when it comes to finding a crew.
The requests we see from Benoni usually come from:
- Homeowners: moss brushed off the shaded side of the house and the roof treated
- Farms and smallholdings: the farmhouse and lapa cleaned and trees cut back from the eaves
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: the wedding lapa cleaned before the photo season
