About Company
Professional Thatch Roofing Experts
Ndlovu Thatchers specialises exclusively in thatch roofing and traditional thatching across KwaZulu-Natal. We work on homes, lodges, entertainment areas, and commercial properties where performance, safety, and long-term maintenance matter.
KwaZulu-Natal’s climate presents unique challenges for thatch roofing, including coastal humidity, seasonal rainfall, wind exposure, and temperature variation. Our approach considers these factors from material selection through to installation and ongoing maintenance.
We focus on practical solutions that support durability, compliance, and insurability rather than short-term fixes.
We specialise in both traditional thatching and modern thatch roofing systems across KwaZulu-Natal.

Serving Durban, Umhlanga, Ballito, and the North Coast — residential, commercial, and hospitality.
Entertainment Area
Lapas, pool surrounds, and outdoor entertaining structures built for KZN conditions. We design for correct pitch, airflow, and wind resistance — so your structure holds up through coastal humidity and summer storms, not just on the day it’s finished.
