We’ve compiled answers to the questions our clients ask most often about thatched roofing installation, maintenance, and care. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, our knowledgeable team is always ready to provide personalized guidance for your specific needs.
With proper installation and regular maintenance, our premium thatched roofs typically last 15-20 years before requiring a complete re-thatch, with the ridge cap needing replacement every 5-7 years.
While untreated thatch is naturally combustible, we apply industry-leading fire retardants to all our roofs, significantly reducing fire risk and often satisfying insurance requirements.
We recommend a professional inspection every 1-2 years, with minor maintenance such as ridge repairs and wire tightening typically needed every 5-7 years depending on weather exposure.
When properly installed by our master thatchers, a thatched roof is remarkably waterproof. The dense layering technique and steep pitch we employ ensures water runs off quickly before penetrating the thatch.
Our thatching grass undergoes thorough treatment before installation to deter pests. Additionally, we can apply specialized preservatives that prevent insect infestation while maintaining the roof's natural appearance.
Yes, thatched roofing is one of the most eco-friendly roofing options available. We source sustainable natural materials with minimal carbon footprint, and at the end of its life, thatch is fully biodegradable.
