Fire is a major risk in thatch homes and once it catches alight, a home can burn to the ground in less than 7 minutes.
If your lapa / thatch is within 4,5m from the boundary or within 9m from any other building on the same site, you are required by law to Fire Protect as well as obtain a Rational Design (Fire Design) issued by a competent person. In addition, any other thatch building that is enclosed also needs fire protection.
Most insurance companies insist on Fire Protection and some will give discounted rates if your roof has been treated.
