Bloemfontein notes on repairs & protection
Hail and lightning are the big risks on the Free State Highveld. A free-standing <a href="/lightning-protection/">lightning mast</a> installed to the SANS standard is common for lapas and thatched homes, and insurers often ask for it. After hail, get torn patches and the ridge repaired quickly. On farms and smallholdings, keep firebreaks cut before the dry winter. Rodents and birds get into roofs on farms.
Who builds with thatch in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein sits in the middle of the Free State, the country's grassland heart, and the province's grassland farms are one of the country's main sources of thatching grass. That makes it a natural base for thatchers and grass suppliers. In Langenhoven Park, Brandwag and the newer suburbs, garden lapas and thatched entertainment areas are common, and the smallholdings of Bainsvlei have lapas, cottages and venues. Farms across the province ask for lapas and rondavels for guests and workers. Summer brings sharp Highveld thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and winters are cold and dry, with frost and grass fires. Crews from here travel widely across the Free State and into the Northern Cape.
The requests we see from Bloemfontein usually come from:
- Homeowners: moss brushed off the shaded side of the house and the roof treated
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a mossy roof cleaned so the building looks well kept to guests
- Builders, architects and developers: a thatch roof cleaned before a renovated house goes on the market
