Martin Bills Master Thatcher

With experience in Wheat Reid, Longstraw & water Reid there’s no project to big or small. With years experience I offer Thatching to the highest of standard. To see reviews click on reviews and recommendations will show. Longstraw

With Longstraw becoming a dying art and traditional methods being lost I am one of the few Thatchers that still prepares & lays Longstraw using traditional bed pulling

methods. This is one of the few methods that abide by listed building regulations. Although other methods used abide by regulations unfortunately the life span of the roof suffers. Combed Wheat Reid

As the first Wheat Reid Threshing machine was built in the early 19th century it soon became the most popular style of Thatching. All my Wheat Reid is locally sourced & threshed using privately owned machines. Wheat Reid roofs should be thatched with a steep tight coat to allow water shed which will extend the life span of the roof. Services

From a full Rethatch to small garden wells my services cover all aspects of thatching. There is no fee for enquires or roof inspections. Friendly and honest advice to help you get the best results possible. What is the master thatcher association? With no regulations in thatching and no official body to vet work the association is no more than a club. Ultimately when choosing a thatcher you should look for a recommendation or a reference as being a member means very little.
