Brits notes on repairs & protection
Homes on the Magaliesberg slopes face veld fires in the dry months, so firebreaks and <a href="/thatch-fire-protection/">fire protection</a> are worth discussing. Lightning masts are common, and insurers often ask for them. Roofs near the water and under trees can stay damp and need cleaning and combing. Buyers of thatched houses around the dam often ask for an inspection before transfer; ask whether a certificate is issued.
Who builds with thatch in Brits
Brits is a farming and factory town, but the thatch story here is really the Hartbeespoort Dam a short drive east. Around the dam, Schoemansville and the estates on the Magaliesberg slopes are full of thatched homes, lapas, restaurants and weekend houses, and many thatchers are based in the area or come out from Pretoria. In Brits itself, garden lapas and farm buildings on the irrigated land along the Crocodile River make up most of the work. Summers are hot, with thunderstorms and lightning; winters are dry, and the mountain slopes burn. Estates around the dam usually have architectural guidelines, so check them before you design anything.
Typical thatch roof cleaning requests in the area 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
- Estate homes and HOAs: thatch homes cleaned to keep the estate looking cared for
