List of

Services

Every roof is different. We will offer our expert opinion on the best method and materials to use before stripping, preparing then rethatching your traditional roof. Please visit our Traditional Thatching Page.

New buildings can be thatched using modern tools and techniques. Thatch is very accommodating and will adapt to many different roof designs to create a beautiful roof. Please visit our Contemporary Thatching Page.

Ridges wear over time so will need to be repaired and/or replaced. A ridge should last 8 – 12 years before it needs replacing. During this process it is good practice to check the whole roof for serviceability. Please visit our Ridging Page.

Sometimes a roof may get storm damaged, bird damage, moss growth, or just wear a little under a chimney. Keeping on top of these small maintenance jobs helps prevent extensive, more expensive repairs later on. Please visit our Maintenance Page.

We offer an annual Bluestone Treatment for your thatched roof.  Learn more here. 

Please note: Our Annual Inspection is recommended prior to your Bluestone Treatment to determine whether or not your roof needs maintenance or repairs prior to applying Bluestone. It is essential to have your roof in a functional state before applying any roof treatments.

Thatching Ireland offers an annual inspection service for your thatched roof. We will furnish you with a short report containing advice and recommendations. Contact Us to book your Annual Thatched Roof Inspection.

This inspection is recommended prior to carrying out any surface treatments including the application of Bluestone, or Fire Retardants.

Protect your thatched roof from fire by employing us to treat your thatch with a fire retardant. 

Ensuring quality of application, our skilled applicators will apply a specialised fire retardant to your thatched roof. 

Fireproofing your thatched roof is essential for commercial buildings including pubs, hotels, and public buildings too. 

Learn more on our Fire Prevention page.
