Looking After Your Thatched Roof Ridge
Your ridge is an important part of your thatched roof, and keeping an eye on its condition is part of regular maintenance. If you’re unsure whether it’s wearing normally or needs attention, our experienced Thatchers will be happy to take a look and explain what they find.
We’ll advise whether it needs any attention now or can simply be monitored, helping you plan ahead for re-ridging when the time comes.
Caring For Your Roof, Thatch Moss Removal
If you’ve noticed moss on your thatched roof, you may be wondering whether it needs attention. Our experienced Thatchers will be happy to assess the growth, check the condition of the thatch beneath it and explain whether any work is needed.
Where removal is appropriate, we’ll recommend a careful approach suited to your roof and offer practical advice on its ongoing care.

Simple Ways To Care For Your Thatched Roof
A little attention throughout the year can help you spot changes in your thatched roof. There’s no need to climb onto it, observations from the ground can give you useful things to discuss with our Master Thatchers.
- Look for changes after strong winds or winter weather, including loose material or damage around the ridge and eaves.
- Keep an eye on moss growth and areas that appear to stay damp. Ask for advice before attempting any cleaning or treatment.
- Let anyone working on your property know that ladders and equipment must not damage the thatch.
- Arrange a professional assessment if you notice changes or are unsure when your roof was last checked.
Every roof ages differently, so maintenance and re-ridging should be guided by its condition rather than a fixed timetable. If something doesn’t look quite right, our friendly team will be happy to talk it through. For existing damage or leaks, visit our thatched roof repairs page.
