    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much to insure a thatched cottage?
    Thatched roofs may increase insurance costs due to their fire hazard potential. Nevertheless, regular maintenance and re-ridging can decrease the risk of damage and fire, leading to lower insurance costs. However, insurance premiums may still be impacted by various factors, including the location and thatching type. To reduce the risk of damage and potential insurance claims, it's wise to consult with a qualified thatching expert for maintenance and repair guidance. In addition, a thatching expert can suggest suitable fire-retardant treatments and other measures to further minimise fire risk. Taking proactive steps and seeking professional advice can help protect thatched roofs and potentially lower insurance costs for property owners.
    How long does a thatched roof last?

    The lifespan of thatched roofs can vary from 15 to 40 years, based on the materials used and upkeep. For maximum longevity, regular maintenance and re-ridging are essential. Failing to maintain the roof can result in early wear and tear, which can lead to higher expenses and inconvenience in the future. To avoid such issues, it's important to seek the services of a professional thatching service like Simply Thatch for routine inspections and upkeep. By doing so, potential damages can be minimised, and the frequency of insurance claims can be reduced, resulting in long-term cost savings.

    How much does a thatched roof cost?

    The cost of installing a thatched roof can vary depending on factors such as property size and the type of thatch material used, with water reed being more expensive than straw. A complete installation can cost up to £30,000. However, regular maintenance is crucial for extending the roof's lifespan and avoiding costly repairs or replacements. Neglecting maintenance can lead to premature wear and tear, resulting in unexpected expenses.

    The cost of maintenance depends on the extent of repairs needed, so it's advisable to consult a master thatcher for an accurate estimate. Investing in routine maintenance can prevent unforeseen expenses and ensure the roof's longevity.

    How long does it take to thatch a roof?
    Thatching a roof is a meticulous process that can take several weeks, especially for larger projects. However, weather conditions can impact the timeline, and it's crucial to schedule the installation during the summer months for more predictable weather, minimising potential disruptions. Heavy rain, snow, or high winds should also be considered as they can cause significant delays or halt the thatching process. Working with a reputable and experienced thatching company, such as Simply Thatch, is essential for managing the process and ensuring timely completion. They can provide regular updates and communicate potential delays due to unforeseen circumstances, including weather conditions. With their expertise, they can minimise disruptions and ensure the thatched roof is installed to the highest standards while leaving the surrounding environment clean and tidy.
