Roof care

Maintain the character. Protect the roof.

Practical inspections and careful maintenance help resolve vulnerable areas before they become larger problems.

Thatch maintenance

Professional care for a natural roof.

Thatch naturally changes as it is exposed to sun, wind and rain. Regular assessment makes it easier to identify thinning, movement, damaged ridging or localised wear and choose the right repair at the right time.

01

Roof inspection

We assess the visible condition of the thatch, ridges, edges, valleys and vulnerable junctions.

02

Targeted repairs

Localised problem areas can often be repaired without unnecessarily disturbing sound sections.

03

Reshaping & compaction

Weathered surfaces and edges may need attention to restore a cleaner and more even finish.

04

Re-thatching advice

Where material is at the end of its useful life, we explain the required renewal and next steps.

Helpful information

Send clear roof photographs when you enquire.

Include the project area, visible damage, leaks and the approximate age of the roof where known.

When to request an inspection

Small warning signs deserve attention.

Visible thinning, ridge damage, damp marks, leaks or changes after severe weather are all good reasons to arrange an assessment before the affected area becomes larger.

Check

Uneven or thin areas

Look for sections that appear lower, patchy or more weathered than the surrounding roof.

Check

Ridges and edges

Loose, cracked or damaged finishing at the top and perimeter can leave the roof vulnerable.

Check

Interior signs

Water marks, damp smells or discoloured ceilings may indicate that water is entering.

Check

Storm changes

Strong wind and heavy rain can expose weaknesses that were not previously obvious.
