Future Thatchers
THATCH ROOFING · REPAIRS · INSTALLATIONS
Roofs built the way thatch was meant to be built.
From full re-thatching to patch repairs on lapas, rondavels and homes, Future Thatchers strips, re-lays and ridge-caps by hand — so the roof over your head is watertight, tidy and built to last.
WHAT WE DO
Three ways we keep your roof sound
Every roof is different — a garden lapa, a full house, a boma. We quote on-site and work to what your roof actually needs.
New Installations
Full thatch roofs for lapas, rondavels, gazebos and homes — framed, bundled and ridge-capped from the timber up.
Thatch Repairs
Patch repairs for worn, thinning or storm-damaged sections, re-securing loose bundles before small gaps become leaks.
Maintenance & Treatment
Ridge cap upkeep, moss and rot checks, and fire-retardant treatment to keep an ageing roof performing for years.
HOW IT WORKS
From first call to finished ridge
01
Site visit & quote
We come out, look at the roof structure and condition, and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
02
Strip & prepare
Damaged or aged thatch is stripped back to sound timber, netting and battens are checked and repaired.
03
Thatch & ridge cap
New grass is bundled and laid in courses by hand, finished with a weatherproof ridge cap.
04
Final walk-through
We check the finish with you and clear the site — trimmings and off-cuts included.
