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.
We repair leaks caused by worn areas, thin thatch, or exposed wiring — ensuring long-term protection from rain and moisture.
Sun, storms, and birds can damage the outer layer. We restore these sections and strengthen the affected areas.
Loose or visible wire poses safety risks. We straighten, re-align, and cover exposed wiring with fresh thatch.
Sagging creates weak spots that affect the roof’s integrity. We level and reinforce the structure for proper support.
A damaged ridge leads to leaks and deterioration. We repair or replace ridges so your roof remains properly sealed.
Severe weather can rip or loosen thatch. Our team responds quickly to prevent further damage.
