Consultancy

Design and building for thatch is significantly different than for conventional roofing materials and requires expert knowledge. If you are an architect, builder or developer about to take any thatch related work we are happy to discuss working with you on your project.

As well as practical experience of thatching existing buildings for over thirty years we have helped create new projects and renovate historic buildings such as Queen Charlotte cottage in Kew gardens.

Roof Surveys

If you are buying or selling a thatched property or just need to know the condition of your thatch and it’s potential remaining life you may want a roof survey

After a site visit you will know the present condition of your thatch, it’s probable life span, any work immediately required and an estimate as to when any further attention may be needed. We will also provide a breakdown of the costs associated with this.

Once completed you will be confident in the knowledge of what to expect from this roof

Disputes

As with any building work, on very rare occasions, disputes can arise between the property owner and third parties. If you need an independent professional evaluation or expert witness testimony, should it become impossible to resolve the matter amicably, we are prepared to take on this role for you.
