Our Services

At Country Thatching, we provide skilled thatching services rooted in traditional techniques and decades of hands-on experience. With over 37 years in the trade, we undertake everything from minor repairs to full and partial re-thatches, always with care, precision and respect for the character of each property.

We work using all three principal thatching materials — long straw, combed wheat reed and water reed — and offer honest, practical advice to help you choose the most appropriate option for your roof.

The diorama includes labels pointing to aspects such as traditional hazel spar knots, a fire barrier membrane, hand-stitched long straw thatching, and layered thatch for weatherproofing, with a blueprint on the wall and construction tools on the table.
