What to know locally in Boksburg
The join between thatch and tiles is where most Boksburg lapas leak: the flashing lifts, water runs in under the thatch and the laths rot. <a href="/thatch-roof-repairs/">Repairs</a> usually mean redoing that join and the ridge. Rats and birds also like lapas near houses, so ask about mesh and sealing gaps when the thatcher is on the roof.
Thatch in Boksburg
Boksburg is a working East Rand town where thatch shows up in family back gardens rather than on the skyline. Sunward Park, Parkdene and Beyers Park have plenty of rectangular braai lapas joined to the house or built beside the pool, and around Boksburg Lake some homes and venues have thatched entertainment areas. Jet Park and Witfield are industrial, and Atlasville sits close to the airport. A lapa attached to the house raises its own questions: the join between the thatch and the tiled roof is a classic leak point, and fire rules for thatch close to the house need checking. Crews are usually drawn from Benoni, Kempton Park and Pretoria East.
The requests we see from Boksburg usually come from:
- Homeowners: a leak at the ridge or a worn valley on the family home patched before the summer rain
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a thin spot over a guest room fixed quickly so the room can stay booked
- Builders, architects and developers: a repair quote for a client buying an older thatched house
