Thatched roof ridge and repair work

This service involves the removing of the old ridge and replacing it with a new one. At the same time, we clean down the whole roof mending any weak spot. The whole roof is then re-wired with new wire netting. This procedure prolongs the life of the main roof and delays its degradation.
Working with a range of materials, Chris Pepper and his team are here to give your thatched roof a new lease of life. Get in contact for a free, no obligation quote.

We also offer a moss removal service, to tidy up roofs which are in a good state of repair.
Thatched roof ridge

We work with the following materials:

Water Reed
The old thatched roof is completely stripped of the old material and the rafters are inspected and replaced where necessary. At this point we can apply an optional fireproofing barrier. The water reed is then laid on the roof at 12”-14” thickness. A completely new ridge made from straw is constructed and the roof is then completely re-wired. We always ensure the best quality and consistency of the materials we use.


Sedge Grass
On request, we can offer a Sedge grass ridge which is a hard, premium material.

“I would like to express my sincere thanks for the absolutely splendid work carried out with the re-thatching of my cottage. I would without doubt certainly recommend you to anyone with a “Sad” thatch, as you are totally professional in your ancient craft. Once again many thanks for the superb job you performed.” 
Gordon Pettitt

“I was promised “a chocolate box cottage” and that is what you delivered! So many people 
in the village have commented on the improved look of our house and all have enjoyed seeing master craftsmen at work. Thank you so much for a brilliant, professional job. We will recommend you without hesitation to anyone requiring any thatching.” 
Hilary & Colin Dunnigham

It just remains for me to say thank you once again for looking after us, we love the roof and it was a pleasure having you and the lads work on our house, such a polite group of fellas.
Many thanks again Chris and very best wishes
