Undertaking regular maintenance and re-ridging can help to prolong the life of the thatched roof, which could potentially result in lower insurance costs over time. To ensure that you are properly informed about the expenses associated with maintaining and insuring your thatched roof, it is advisable to seek advice and estimates from a qualified and experienced thatching expert.

Consistent care and upkeep can extend the lifespan of a well-maintained thatched roof from 15 to 40 years, depending on various factors such as the quality of materials used and the level of maintenance.

    Failing to perform regular maintenance can result in premature wear and tear, leading to the need for thatching sooner than anticipated, which can lead to increased costs and inconvenience.

They can provide expert guidance on maintenance practices that can minimise damage and reduce the likelihood of potential insurance claims, which can ultimately help save you money in the long run.

    How much does a thatched roof cost?
    The cost of installing a thatched roof can vary depending on various factors such as the size of the property and the type of thatch used. For example, water reed thatching tends to be more expensive than straw thatching. On average, a complete thatched roof installation can cost up to £30,000. It is important to note that regular maintenance is crucial in ensuring the longevity of a thatched roof. Neglecting routine maintenance can lead to premature wear and tear, which may result in costly repairs or a complete replacement sooner than anticipated.

They can assess the condition of the thatched roof and provide recommendations on necessary repairs or maintenance, as well as estimated costs.

    How long does it take to thatch a roof?
    Installing a thatched roof is a time-consuming process that can take several weeks, and larger projects may require more time. However, the timeline can be impacted by various factors, including weather conditions, which can result in delays. Therefore, it's advisable to schedule the project during the summer months when the weather is typically more stable, helping to minimise disruptions to the project. Other factors, such as heavy rain, snow, or high winds, should also be considered when planning the project, as they can cause significant delays. In the event of poor weather, the thatching process may need to be temporarily halted, leading to a prolonged project timeline. It's essential to work with a reputable and experienced thatching company such as Simply Thatch, who can provide guidance on project timelines and manage the process to minimise disruptions and ensure timely completion. Additionally, they can provide updates and communicate any potential delays resulting from weather conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.
