Sandton notes on materials & supplies
A tree-shaded Sandton roof often benefits from a <a href="/thatch-sealer/">sealer or anti-fungal treatment</a> after it has been cleaned, as damp thatch under oaks grows moss quickly. Ask for the maker's re-application interval in writing. For repairs, the thatcher will usually bring matching grass from their own stock; ask whether it is new season grass, which will look lighter at first and weather in.
Thatch in Sandton
Behind the office towers, Sandton is a suburb of big old gardens. Bryanston, Morningside and Rivonia have generous stands planted decades ago with oaks, planes and pin oaks, and many have a thatched cottage, a pool lapa or a whole thatched house from the era when these were still half rural. Those trees are the main problem for the thatch: shade keeps the roof damp, leaves pile up in the valleys, and moss and rot follow on the south side. Many roofs here are also old enough to have tired wiring in the roof space. Thatchers usually drive in from Fourways and Pretoria, and good ones get booked early in spring.
Typical thatch sealers and treatments requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: treating a cleaned roof that sits under trees or faces south
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: treating thatch over terraces where a damp roof drips on tables
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: treating a wedding lapa roof before the busy season
