Secunda notes on roofs & lapas
A thatched <a href="/thatch-lapas/">lapa</a> beside the house is the usual request in Secunda and Trichardt, and on farms toward Bethal a larger lapa for family gatherings. Because there are few local thatchers, ask to see photos of finished work and the names of past clients you can call. Lapas usually need plans and a fire distance from the house and boundary, so check with the municipality before anything is built.
Thatch in Secunda
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.
The requests we see from Secunda usually come from:
- Homeowners: one thatcher for the house roof, checked against past roofs and references
- Builders, architects and developers: a reliable subcontractor who thatches to the plans and the code of practice
- Restaurants, pubs and beach bars: repairs and re-thatching done when the restaurant is closed or quiet
