Insurance
We can arrange for our broker to meet with the client to discuss the insurance company’s sophisticated services, which are tailored to individual customers. This takes into consideration such factors as additional safety measures including fire retardant thatching, drencher systems, dedicated hose reels, fireplace designs and proximity of the building to the nearest fire station.
As South Africa’s only specialist thatch insurer, the company is able to offer significantly lower base rates and further automatic discounts for each of the above-mentioned built-in risk reduction measures.

Guarantee
We are proud to offer a two year guarantee on all new thatch roof gazebos and a two year guarantee on thatch roof houses and bigger projects. If we are selected to service the roof within 24 months from finishing date, we will gladly extend your guarantee for a further three years.
