We can complete any thatching work including rethatching, repairs, flush ridging and ornamental block ridging, in water reed or combed wheat reed – from a large new-build house to a small outbuilding or porch.

Our thatching services include:-

  • Re-ridging work – from a highly ornate block ridge to a simple traditional flush ridge
  • Major and minor thatch repairs and ongoing maintenance
  • Free on-site consultation with advice given on roof timbers and roof construction
  • Advice on Listed Building regulations, VAT, insurance and fire prevention
  • Free annual inspections
  • Free tarpaulin or emergency repair service prior to commencement of thatching work
  • Straw animals

We use locally grown organic wheat reed from Manor Farm at Godmanstone in Dorset. Our thatching spars are also made locally in Dorset, using coppiced hazel or willow.
