Why Fire Protection Matters

Improve Safety & Reduce Risk

Fire-Retardant Spray Installation

Fire-retardant treatments help slow the spread of flames on thatch surfaces, improving overall safety. Treatments are typically applied by spray, and may require periodic re-application depending on exposure and roof condition.

What we need from you

To quote accurately, send us:

  • Your area / location
  • Photos or a short video of the roof
  • Approximate roof size (if known)
  • Property type: home / business / lodge
  • If you need an urgent booking

Best time to apply

Fire-retardant treatments are best applied when the roof is dry and in good condition. If the roof needs repairs first (worn ridging, leaks, or thin sections), we can repair before treatment.

Maintenance & re-application

Over time, exposure to weather can reduce effectiveness. We can advise on maintenance and re-application schedules based on roof condition and exposure.

FAQ

Fire Protection Questions

If you have a specific requirement, WhatsApp us and we’ll advise based on your property and roof condition.

Does fire-retardant spray make a thatch roof fireproof?
No. Fire-retardant treatments help slow ignition/spread and improve safety, but they do not make thatch completely fireproof.
Do you treat existing roofs and new roofs?
Yes. We can apply treatments to new roofs and existing roofs, depending on roof condition and suitability.
How long does the treatment last?
It depends on exposure, roof condition and product requirements. We’ll advise based on your roof and recommend re-application timing where needed.
Do I need repairs before fire-retardant treatment?
If there are leaks, worn ridging or thin sections, repairs are recommended before treatment to ensure the best result and consistent coverage.
What’s the fastest way to get a quote?
WhatsApp your location and a few photos/video of the roof. If you know the approximate size, include that too.
