Professional Thatch Roof Repair Services.

A damaged thatched roof can lead to leaks, structural weakness, and costly future problems if not fixed quickly. At Eliman Thatching & Repairs, we specialise in fast, effective, and long-lasting repairs for all types of thatched roofs across South Africa.

Whether it’s a minor leak or major damage, our expert team restores your roof safely and professionally — without overcharging or unnecessary work.

Common Roof Problems We Fix

Roof Leaks

We repair leaks caused by worn areas, thin thatch, or exposed wiring — ensuring long-term protection from rain and moisture.

Damaged or Loose Thatch

Sun, storms, and birds can damage the outer layer. We restore these sections and strengthen the affected areas.

Exposed Roof Wiring

Loose or visible wire poses safety risks. We straighten, re-align, and cover exposed wiring with fresh thatch.

Uneven or Sagging Areas

Sagging creates weak spots that affect the roof’s integrity. We level and reinforce the structure for proper support.

Ridge Damage

A damaged ridge leads to leaks and deterioration. We repair or replace ridges so your roof remains properly sealed.

Storm or Wind Damage

Severe weather can rip or loosen thatch. Our team responds quickly to prevent further damage.
