New & Re-Thatching

The process of thatching and rethatching is complex. We view the roof as a jigsaw puzzle, carefully considering where to start and how much old thatch to strip before replacing it.

A thatched roof will need a new ridge and patching every 10-12 years, during which the roof is tidied, small repairs are done, moss removed and edges straightened, with netting replaced if required.

During re-thatching we can also fit fire felt or boards and insulation, re-point or repair chimneys, and carry out any required lead work.
