Thatching & Property Services in Johannesburg
One trusted team - delivering expert thatching, lapa installation, fire-proofing, repairs, tiling, paving, painting, and plastering across Gauteng.
Everything Your Property Needs
From thatch to tiles, from lapa builds to paintwork - Rafiki Thatching handles it all with the same standard of care and expertise.
Thatch Roof Installation
We build new thatch roofs from scratch - residential homes, farm buildings, guest lodges, entertainment areas, and commercial structures. Our installations use quality cape reed and other natural thatching materials, applied with traditional craftsmanship and modern structural knowledge.
Thatch Roof Repairs
Leaks, sagging, ridge deterioration, storm damage, animal intrusion - we diagnose and repair all types of thatch roof problems. Fast, effective repairs that restore weather protection and extend the life of your existing roof without a full replacement.
New Lapa Installation
Transform your outdoor space with a beautifully crafted thatched lapa. We handle the full build - from concrete footings and pole erection to thatching, finishing, and optional boma features. Designed to create the perfect South African entertainment space.
Thatching Fire-proofing
Professional fire-retardant treatment is essential for any thatch structure. We apply SANS-compliant fire-proofing chemicals to both new and existing thatch roofs, significantly reducing ignition risk and meeting insurance and municipal requirements.
Thatch Maintenance
Regular maintenance is the key to a long-lasting thatch roof. We offer comprehensive scheduled maintenance packages including inspections, net replacements, ridge re-binding, debris clearing, and re-treatment - keeping your roof in top condition year-round.
Professional Tiling
Interior and exterior tiling services for floors, walls, bathrooms, kitchens, patios, and pool surrounds. We work with all tile types and finishes, ensuring precision-laid, level, long-lasting results that enhance both function and aesthetics.
Paving
Driveways, walkways, pool surrounds, patios, and parking areas - we lay professional paving using concrete pavers, clay bricks, or natural stone. Durable, neatly edged, and properly bedded for lasting performance in the Gauteng climate.
Painting
Interior and exterior painting for homes, businesses, and sectional title properties. We prepare surfaces thoroughly, use quality paints, and deliver neat, lasting finishes - from full exterior repaints to interior accent walls and woodwork coatings.
Plastering
New plaster work and repair plastering for interior and exterior walls. Our team handles everything from scratch plaster on new brickwork to skimming, re-plastering damaged sections, and decorative finishes - ensuring smooth, durable, paint-ready surfaces.
