Thatch and slate. A re-ridge we did a couple of years ago. The main part of the ridge was straw and we used sedge as a saddle to go over the top.#Thatching.

Michal (nearest camera), Daniel and Rafal on our latest project in #Cheshire. With the onset of wetter weather we only strip in sections that can be quickly thatched in so as not to leave too much roof exposed to the elements… #Thatching.

Michal has removed the old worn ridge capping on our job in #Wilmslow and is fixing straw which will be the foundation of the new ridge.#Thatching.

We have a team going to the #IsleOfMan tomorrow to re-thatch a small cottage nearly 2 years after we did this one in #Douglas. Meanwhile we have ongoing jobs in #Wilmslow, #Cheshire and #Haskayne in #Lancashire.

On my travels today saw this roof ! Think of the easily avoidable damage being done to the thatch! #Thatching.

Another nearly full skip of waste thatch. When we are undertaking re-thatching jobs we would need at least one of these a week. #Thatching.

When l was at Primary school and into my teens we used to spend many family holidays visiting relatives on the Dutch island of Schiermonnikoog where there are many thatched houses. I could never have guessed that years later l would become a Thatcher. #Thatching.

Just came across these 2 photos which illustrate well how not removing previous layers of thatch can lead to a great & unnecessary thickness especially at the ridge.In this case 1.75metres! Also shows how close the ridge line was to the top of this chimney!
