Repairs & protection in East London: local notes
Moss cleaning, ridge repairs and topping up weathered coastal slopes are common East London jobs. Summer storms bring leaks and some lightning, so ask about a free-standing mast for exposed homes and farms. Resorts often book yearly inspections and fire retardant renewals before the holidays. Rats and birds take to holiday cottages left empty, so check the eaves after a quiet season.
Thatch in East London
East London sits on a warm, green stretch of coast where river mouths cut through dune forest, and its thatch reflects that. Holiday cottages and resorts at Gonubie, Kidd's Beach, Cintsa and along the coast towards the Wild Coast, thatched homes and lapas in Beacon Bay, Nahoon and Vincent, and farm lapas inland towards Qonce and Stutterheim all use grass. The climate is mild but often humid, with most rain in summer, so moss and algae appear on shaded roofs and binding wire suffers near the beach. Grass comes from the Eastern Cape grasslands and the Amathole area, and rondavels in the rural villages around Mdantsane and beyond are often thatched by local builders.

- Homeowners: moss brushed off the shaded side of the house and the roof treated
