About Thorn Group
“operated for 40 years”
For over 40 years, Thorn Group has built a reputation as one of South Africa’s trusted contracting names. What started in Johannesburg has grown into a national footprint, with satellite offices in Cape Town, Nelspruit, and Durban, plus a presence in Harare.
Our work spans painting, waterproofing, damp proofing, and roofing, backed by decades of hands-on experience across commercial, industrial, and residential projects. We take on medium to large scale projects, bringing the same standard to each one: exceed expectations, not just meet them.
Behind that standard is a team that knows the trade inside out. Dylan leads sales, De Waal heads up operations, ensuring the work on site matches the promise made at the first consultation.
A TRUSTED CONTRACTOR
A trusted painting contractor does more than apply a coat of paint. It shows up when promised, protects the property it’s working on, uses the right materials for the surface and climate, and stands behind the work once the job is done. It’s the difference between a paint job that looks good on handover day and one that still holds up years later.
That’s the standard Thorn Group has built its name on since 1980. Four decades of experience across painting, waterproofing, damp proofing, and roofing has earned us the position of preferred contractor across major cities in South Africa and beyond.
Today, we deliver painting, damp proofing, roofing, and waterproofing services in:
- Johannesburg
- Pretoria
- Cape Town
- Nelspruit
- Harare
MULTI-INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
Few painting contractors can move seamlessly between an office park one week and an international airport terminal the next. Thorn Group can. Our experience spans the commercial, industrial, and residential sectors, giving us the versatility to take on projects most contractors simply aren’t equipped for.
Our specialist experience includes:
- Commercial office parks, large and small
- Shopping centres
- Industrial warehouses
- Hotels
- International airport terminals
- Residential complexes and estates of every shape and size
And that’s far from the full list. If it’s a medium to large scale project, chances are we’ve already handled something like it.
