Restore Strength, Beauty & Durability to Your Thatched Roof.
Over time, every thatched roof naturally ages, flattens, or becomes weathered. Eliman Thatching & Repairs specialises in complete re-thatching and ridge replacement, restoring your roof to its original strength, beauty, and performance.
With over 15 years of expert experience, our team ensures your roof not only looks new again but performs safely and efficiently for many years to come.
We strip away weathered, damaged, and weakened thatch, allowing the new material to bond strongly.
Fresh, premium materials such as water reed or Cladium sledge are installed in clean, tight layers.
Weak spots are identified and securely reinforced to ensure long-term strength.
The ridge is fully rebuilt for proper sealing, water resistance, and a neat, beautiful finish.
Your roof is shaped, trimmed, and refined for a clean, smooth, professional appearance.
We conduct a full check to ensure the roof is strong, aligned, and ready for long-term performance.
Roofs older than 7–10 years
Roofs showing leaks or dark patches
Roofs with loose, thin, or uneven thatch
Roofs damaged by storms, birds, or sun exposure
Lodges or homes needing cosmetic restoration
Whether it’s a home lapa or a large commercial lodge, we handle all sizes.
A thatched roof requires renewal after years of sun, wind, rain, and natural wear. Re-thatching:
Rebuilds lost thickness
Improves insulation
Strengthens the roof structure
Reduces risk of leaks
Extends overall lifespan
Enhances appearance and value
A refreshed roof gives your home or lodge a stunning “new build” finish.
We start by examining your structure, understanding your vision, and ensuring the design is safe and achievable.
A strong wooden framework is built to support the thatch layers and ensure long-term stability.
High-quality thatch is applied in consistent layers to create a durable, weather-resistant surface.
The ridge is shaped, sealed, and reinforced to create a neat finish and protect against leaks.
We trim and clean the roof for a beautiful, professionally finished appearance.
Before handover, we perform a thorough inspection to ensure structural integrity, proper alignment, and water resistance.
Ridging is the backbone of a thatched roof. A strong ridge:
Prevents leaks
Shapes and supports the roof
Enhances durability
Improves roof appearance
Extends the lifespan of the thatch beneath
We rebuild ridges using long-lasting techniques and materials for superior performance.
A professional re-thatch can last 8–12 years depending on climate and maintenance.
We use only fresh, premium materials for maximum durability and safety.
Small lapas take 2–4 days, while large roofs or lodges may take 1–2 weeks.
