Re-Thatching & Re-Ridging

Over time, natural thatch becomes worn or compacted. Our re-thatching service restores your roof by replacing old layers, reinforcing structure, and installing fresh ridging for added strength and beauty.

Includes:

Thatch Roof Repairs

From small leaks to major structural issues, we repair all types of thatched roofs. Our team identifies problem areas, replaces damaged sections, fixes exposed wires, and restores your roof to a safe and even condition.

Common Repairs:

Harvey Thatching (Harvey Tile Conversion)

Upgrade your roof with Harvey thatch — a modern steel tile system installed over natural thatch. It reduces maintenance, improves fire resistance, and provides a longer-lasting alternative while keeping the traditional look inside.

Benefits:

Brushing & Roof Rejuvenation

Brushing removes aging, weathered thatch from the roof surface. This refreshes the appearance, improves water drainage, and helps extend lifespan without a full re-thatch.

Why It Matters:

Fire Protection Treatment

We apply certified fire-retardant coatings to protect your roof from potential fire hazards and UV damage. This treatment also strengthens the material, helping your roof last longer.
