Thatching Materials
A thatcher is only as good as the material he uses. Every thatcher will tell you that they're "the best." Perhaps they claim they have the most skill, experience, methods, the best team or the quickest process.
What few thatchers may not discuss is something that K. S. Thatchers consider the most important factor of all: how long your thatched roof will last.
When potential clients ask:
Can I see a project you have done recently?" Our confident reply is always: "Wouldn't you rather look at something we did 30 years ago? "
K. S. Thatchers grow our own wheat straw, the traditional thatching material, using time-tested traditional methods to ensure the highest quality material for our customers

Incorporating traditional values and time-honoured methods and using skills acquired over many years, we are dedicated to providing a first-class job with minimum inconvenience to our customers.
We give you a realistic contract time, arrange a suitable date with you for starting work and commit to meeting deadlines at every stage of the project.
Our craftsmen leave the site clean and tidy and ensure the roof is protected from inclement weather throughout the contract period.
