Frequently Asked Questions

How much to insure a thatched cottage?

The cost of insuring a thatched roof can vary depending on several factors, such as the roof's age, location, and the materials used. Regular maintenance and re-ridging of your thatched roof can help prolong its lifespan and may even reduce insurance costs over time. It's recommended that you consult with a qualified and experienced thatching professional to obtain advice and estimates on insurance and maintenance expenses for your thatched roof. They can offer expert guidance on the best ways to maintain your thatched roof, which can help reduce the risk of damage and potential insurance claims.

How long does a thatched roof last?

Regular maintenance and re-ridging are indeed critical factors that can significantly affect the lifespan of a thatched roof. Proper maintenance and care can extend the lifespan of a well-maintained thatched roof to anywhere between 15 to 40 years, depending on several factors such as the type of materials used and the level of maintenance.

Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to premature wear and tear, which may require thatching sooner than anticipated, leading to increased costs and inconvenience.

It's essential to engage a professional thatching service like Simply Thatch to perform regular inspections and maintenance on your thatched roof to ensure it stays in good condition and prolongs its lifespan.

How much does a thatched roof cost?

The cost of installing a thatched roof is dependent on the size of the project. Smaller properties with smaller roofs tend to be less expensive than larger ones.

However, the cost of initial thatching can still be significant, with an average price of up to £30,000. It's important to note that routine maintenance is crucial in preserving the roof's lifespan.

The cost of maintenance work can vary depending on the extent of repairs needed, so seeking guidance from a master roof thatcher is advisable to receive an accurate estimate.

How long does it take to thatch a roof?

A typical thatched roof installation can take anywhere from three to four weeks, but larger projects may require a longer timeline. It's important to note that adverse weather conditions can affect the project's duration, so it's recommended to schedule the thatching job during the summer months when weather conditions are more stable. This helps minimise disruptions to the project. Heavy rain, snow, or high winds can slow down the thatching process, so it's important to factor in these variables when planning a thatching project.
