Repairs & protection in Randfontein: local notes
Older farm lapas around Randfontein usually need a new ridge, holes from birds filled, and poles checked for borer and rot at the base where they meet the ground. On open land a lapa is often the tallest thing nearby, so ask about a <a href="/lightning-protection/">lightning mast</a>. Keep a firebreak around it in winter, when the veld dries out.
Thatch in Randfontein
Randfontein grew up around the gold mines, and its town suburbs are mostly tin and tile rather than thatch. Where thatch does appear is on the edges: plots and smallholdings outside town and toward Westonaria, farm lapas, the occasional thatched guest cottage, and braai lapas in Greenhills family gardens. That makes most requests here modest ones: a new lapa, a re-thatch of an older one, or poles and grass for a DIY job. Few thatchers are based in the town itself, so most come from Krugersdorp, Muldersdrift or Roodepoort. Highveld storms are as fierce here as anywhere, and lightning on open farmland is a real risk.
Typical thatch roof cleaning requests in the area 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

Around Randfontein the largest group asking is homeowners, which usually means moss brushed off the shaded side of the house and the roof treated. Before you agree to anything: gentle methods, no pressure washing. Getting a crew there: thatchers drive in from the West Rand; some charge for travel.
