Thatch in Centurion
Centurion is estate country. Between the N1, the R21 and the Ben Schoeman, security estates have gone up one after another, and many of them allow or even favour thatch on houses, clubhouses and pool lapas. That means HOA rules come first: roof pitch, ridge style, the colour of the cement ridge and where a lightning mast may stand are often written into the architectural guidelines. Older suburbs such as Eldoraigne and Lyttelton have their own garden lapas, and the Irene smallholdings bring in farm style venues. Thatchers from both Pretoria and Johannesburg work here, so you can usually get more than one quote. Storm season is long, and estates often ask for proof of lightning protection.
Typical thatch roof maintenance requests in the area come from:
- Estate homes and HOAs: thatch homes kept to the estate's standard with yearly visits and treatment records
- Homeowners: a yearly check, combing and ridge touch-up on the house and the garden lapa
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: the wedding lapa and chapel roofs checked and treated before the season
