Thatched roof experts
What are thatched roofs?
Thatched roofs are traditional roofing systems made from dry vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge, or heather. This type of roofing is known for its distinctive appearance and excellent insulation properties. Thatched roofs are not only aesthetically pleasing but also environmentally friendly, offering a unique blend of heritage and sustainability.
How much does a thatched roof cost?
The cost of installing a thatched roof can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the roof, the materials used, and the complexity of the design. Here’s a breakdown of typical costs:
Average Cost Estimates
- Material Costs: The cost of thatching materials like water reed or straw can range from £20 to £30 per square metre.
- Labour Costs: Skilled thatch roofers typically charge between £100 and £150 per day. The total labour cost depends on the size and complexity of the roof.
Total Cost
For an average-sized cottage, the total cost of installing a thatched roof can range from £10,000 to £20,000, including both materials and labour.
Factors Affecting Cost
- Roof Size and Complexity: Larger roofs or those with intricate designs will require more materials and labour, increasing the overall cost.
- Material Choice: The type of thatching material used can impact the cost, with some materials being more expensive than others.
How long does it take to install a thatched roof?
The time required to install a thatched roof can vary based on the size and complexity of the project:
- Small to Medium Roofs: Installation typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks.
- Large or Complex Roofs: Larger or more intricate designs can take up to 6 weeks or more.
It’s important to discuss the expected timeline with your roofer to plan accordingly. Weather conditions and any necessary preparatory work can also impact the installation time.
Other thatched roof FAQs

Anton did a great emergency call out job on some pipe work. I called him on Monday late afternoon, and he was able to come and see the work that needed to be done within the hour, he was then able to start work the following day, working around the roofers we had on site too. As I wasnt onsite when he did the inspection he sent me a video of the work that he was going to do, which was great! I would definitely recommend him, and will be getting a quote for some other jobs that need doing. Thanks Anton
