Centurion notes on roofs & lapas
In Centurion's estates the HOA is often the first stop for a new roof or <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a>: many want drawings that follow their guidelines before the municipality even sees them. In Irene and around Lyttelton, older homes add a rectangular lapa beside the pool. Ask your thatcher whether they have built in your estate before, because they will already know the ridge and pitch the estate expects.
Centurion: the buildings, the weather and the thatchers
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 roof thatchers requests in the area come from:
- Estate homes and HOAs: thatchers who know the estate's guidelines and can work with the HOA's approval process
- Guesthouses and B&Bs: a thatcher who can work around guests and finish rooms one at a time
- Homeowners: one thatcher for the house roof, checked against past roofs and references
