Repairs & protection in Mbombela: local notes
Moss and algae grow fast on shaded Lowveld roofs, so <a href="/thatch-roof-cleaning/">cleaning</a> and cutting back overhanging branches are common jobs. Pressure washing can tear the thatch; ask how the roof will be cleaned. Lodges often book a yearly inspection in winter, before the rains. Birds, rats and borer in the poles are common in the bush, and veld fires mean a firebreak and fire protection matter on farms and lodges.
Thatch in Mbombela
Mbombela is the gateway to the Lowveld, and thatch is everywhere you look: game lodges and guesthouses toward Hazyview and the Kruger gates, thatched homes on smallholdings around White River and Rocky Drift, and lapas in the estates on the hills around the city. The Lowveld climate is hot and humid in summer, with heavy afternoon rain, and roofs under big trees stay damp and grow moss quickly. Winters are mild and dry, which suits harvest work and building. Many local crews work here full time, and lodges keep a thatcher busy with re-thatching and repairs before the rains. Grass comes from the Mpumalanga grasslands up the escarpment, and gum poles from the plantation country around the city.
The requests we see from Mbombela usually come from:
- Game lodges and bush camps: chalets under big trees cleaned and treated before the rainy season
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a mossy roof cleaned so the building looks well kept to guests
- Homeowners: moss brushed off the shaded side of the house and the roof treated
