About Us 

Although centuries old, thatching has seen many changes and improvements over the years and is currently enjoying a revival. A growing increase in the popularity of thatch has lead to more new buildings and extensions to existing thatched properties. 

This oldest roofing method extends far beyond its beauty and provides unique thermal insulation, noise abatement and longevity of service. Currently over 60,000 properties in the UK have a thatched roof with more than 24,000 of these properties being listed. 

Products used have changed or developed to improve the traditional thatch supplies. The introduction of ‘fire retardants and early warning temperature sensors for chimneys have reduced the fire risks to many thatched properties. Also changes in roof construction have maximised the benefits of these fire safety advances. 

For over 35 years we have been at the forefront of thatching, providing advice covering all aspects of thatching, thatch fire safety and the supply of fire barrier systems.

We are a single source of information for architects, builders, surveyors, thatchers and property owners. Having devoted years to the craft of thatching we have experienced most thatch problems or issues. It’s therefore this experience, research and development that make Thatching Advisory Services invaluable.

Our website has been designed to give you detailed product and system advice, as well as providing useful information such as our ‘Complete Thatch Guide’. However, for more specific information it is best to contact us and discuss the areas of interest in more detail.
