Secunda notes on materials & supplies
Nothing much is sold locally for thatch, so <a href="/thatch-grass/">grass</a>, treated poles and laths are usually trucked in with the job. Ask whether materials are in the quote and who stores them if the crew starts later than planned. Some homeowners here choose a <a href="/synthetic-thatch/">synthetic thatch</a> or a thatch-look tile on a small lapa to cut maintenance; ask about the fire rating before deciding.
Secunda: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
Secunda was built around a large fuel plant, and its suburbs are mostly tiled and sheeted roofs, so be realistic: thatch here is a lapa, not a house. Garden lapas behind homes in Secunda and Trichardt, braai areas at clubs and a few lapas on smallholdings toward Evander and Kinross make up most of the work. Out on the farmland toward Bethal, older farmhouses and lapas on maize and grazing farms carry thatch too. The flat, open Highveld here has strong summer thunderstorms with lightning and hail, and cold, windy winters with grass fires. Few thatchers are based in Secunda itself, so quotes often come from crews in eMalahleni, Middelburg or the East Rand.
Typical thatch sealers and treatments requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: treating a cleaned roof that sits under trees or faces south
- Wedding venues, schools and churches: treating a wedding lapa roof before the busy season
- Builders, architects and developers: a first treatment on a new roof as part of the handover
