Thatch Repair Experts
At Thatch Inspectors, we specialise in identifying and addressing issues before they develop into costly problems. From replacing damaged patches to urgent emergency repairs after storms, our team is ready to act quickly and effectively. While thatched roofs are built to last, natural materials will inevitably deteriorate over time. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can prevent minor issues from becoming major concerns – helping you avoid a full re-thatch for as long as possible.
Our services include comprehensive roof inspections, re-ridging, patch repairs, and moss removal to help keep your thatch looking its best and functioning properly for as long as possible.
Common Issues with Thatched Roofs
While thatched roofs are known for their durability and charm, they are still vulnerable to the elements and natural wear over time. Recognising early signs of damage can save you from more extensive and costly repairs in the future. Some of the most common issues we see include:
- Water Ingress and Damp – If water starts penetrating the roof, it can lead to rot and internal damage.
- Thatch Slippage or Compaction – Over time, weather exposure can cause thatch to slip, compact, or thin out, reducing its protective qualities.
- Moss Growth – Excessive plant growth retains moisture and accelerates decay.
- Ridge Deterioration – The ridge is often the first part of the roof to wear out and may need replacing every 10 to 15 years.
- Bird and Rodent Damage – ests can dislodge thatch and create holes, weakening the roof structure.
- Storm or Wind Damage -Sudden weather events can dislodge or damage sections of the roof.
At Thatch Inspectors, we’re trained to spot these issues early, offering clear guidance and effective repairs before things escalate.

Looking After Your Thatched Roof
Regular upkeep is essential to maximise the lifespan of your thatched roof. We always recommend having your roof inspected at least once a year by a professional thatcher. Spotting early signs of wear or damage can save you from more costly repairs in the future.
Also make sure nearby trees are trimmed back to prevent excess shade and debris, which can encourage moss growth. It’s also important to ensure your gutters and surrounding drainage are clear, as excess water can lead to damp and decay in the thatch. Avoid walking on the roof or allowing anyone without specialist training to attempt repairs. If anything looks off, give us a call – we’re happy to help.
