About
We believe in quality local workmanship
We are a prestigious team of highly skilled thatchers based in Wiltshire. We also cover West Berkshire and Gloucestershire. Using only the highest quality materials and a mixture of both modern and traditional techniques. We pride ourselves on producing premium quality thatch, that will last.
The company was established in 2010 by myself, Alex. I first entered the trade after leaving school in 1991, then went on to complete my apprenticeship with a City & Guilds qualification, l’ve since then brought on a team of apprentices and passed my knowledge and skills through to the next generation of thatchers and in doing so, created a team I am immensely proud of.
Thatching Services
# 01
This service includes removal of the old wire, stripping down of the old thatch where necessary, checking the timbers, sparing down of the base coat and building up of the ridge to make sure of the correct pitch.
When this is done we will then proceed with a new coat of thatch with the depth of around 14 inches and a new ridge of either block cut pattern or flush depending on the customers preference. We then apply a new gauged wire with either lead or cement flashing round the chimney.

Re-Ridge
We remove all the old wire and make any repairs to the coat, taking off the remains of the old ridge whilst making sure the base is solid with the right pitch before applying the new
# 03
We assess the condition of your thatched roof, identifying areas in need of repair or patching. Our skilled thatchers then employ traditional techniques, using the same high-quality materials as the original coatwork, to seamlessly integrate repairs into the existing thatch.
Whether you require a small patch or more extensive repairs, our commitment to quality and attention to detail ensure that your thatched roof remains structurally sound and visually stunning.
