Fire Protection Built Into Every Thatch Roof Service

What sets our thatch roof services apart is Supercote — our proprietary fire retardant coating, professionally manufactured under licence and backed by rigorous quality assurance. Supercote has undergone the ASTM E:108 fire test, the standard required by local authorities and the insurance industry, and is accepted by fire departments and municipalities across South Africa. But Supercote does more than fireproof your roof: its UV filters, bonding agents, and fungicides also slow down the natural ageing process, protecting your investment for longer. When you choose our thatch roof services, fire protection isn't an optional extra — it's built into the process from the very beginning, giving you and your insurer genuine peace of mind.

 

Trusted Thatch Roof Services Across South Africa

Since 1991, Thatch Protection Africa has delivered thatch roof services to homeowners, estates, lodges, and commercial properties throughout South Africa. Over three decades in the industry has taught us that no two roofs are the same — climate, roof pitch, thatch grass type, and building design all affect how a roof performs over time. That experience is reflected in every job we take on, whether it's a full re-thatch, a routine maintenance visit, or an emergency repair after storm damage. Property owners choose our thatch roof services because they know they're getting a team that stands behind its work, uses proven materials, and takes pride in leaving every roof looking as good as it performs.
