FAQs

Why do you strip a roof when re-thatching?

If you go over the top of the existing reed on your roof, this just adds extra weight which ultimately will begin to damage the structure of your house itself. It also raises the height of the thatch which reduces the distance between the roof and the chimney top which is a fire hazard. According to building regulations it should be 1.8 metres between the thatch and the top of your chimney. By stripping a roof you also expose any rotten roof timbers which can then be replaced while it is clear strengthen the structure of your house. Also by making sure that the roof timbers are well set it lays a good foundation for the straw and ultimately gives a better finish to the look and structure of it.

Does it matter which one you use?

Plastic spars tend to be cheaper to buy than traditional hazel spars. However, we do not use plastic spars on any of our jobs due to their destructive nature. If you use plastic spars when you come to do a repair to extend the life of your roof, it damages the roof as they are being pulled out meaning you have to increase the size of the area you are repairing. They also look very ugly on a beautiful traditional thatch.

Can I repair my thatched roof or do I have to have the whole thing replaced?

Repairs are possible and can add years to the roofs life span. It is also possible to just re-thatch just one side of your roof at a time to spread the cost and make the most of the roof.

Is this bad for it?

Contrary to popular belief, moss is actually good for a thatched roof. The majority of the damage comes from the sun and the rain. Moss helps keep a thatch at a gentle temperature. Similar to a painted house. The moss can be wiped off and the paint underneath will be able to be cleaned and look as good as new but the side on the sun is often blistered and damaged.

Is there anything you can do about this?

It depends on the roof but usually, yes, we can re-shape the thatch around the windows when we re-thatch your house to increase the amount of light that can get indoors.

More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.
