Longstraw Thatching

Longstraw thatched roofs usually have a flush ridge and the mixed ears and butts of the straw are visible in the thatch. These roofs have a life expectancy from fifteen to twenty five years.

Water Reed Thatching

Water Reed thatched roofing is the most traditional and long lasting type of thatch. It can last for well over thirty years of British weather. Water Reed has a tendancy to be flat and follow the structure of the roof timbers underneath.

Combed Wheat Thatching

Combed Wheat Reed has a rounder appearance due to being fixed to the under thatch with hazel spars i.e. pegs.
