“I am absolutely delighted with my new thatch roof which looks amazing and was no easy task due to being on a curve. John Tozer and his team from R.V. Miller Ltd provided exceptional service, expertise and professionalism; they were always very friendly and worked incredibly hard in order to get the roof water-tight and finished in the minimum of time. I would have no hesitation in recommending R.V. Miller Ltd to other customers.”

“R.V Miller Limited successfully completed a traditional thatched roof installation for our company in 2009 during the construction of a bespoke luxury house in the New Forest. Whilst the construction of the house was a challenge due to its curved outline we found R.V Miller coped with this admirably and provided a very high quality finished product in terms of service, installation and aesthetics.”

An important part of maintaining your thatch roof is to ensure the ridge is replaced approximately every ten years.
Small regular repairs and inspections should be carried out to keep your thatch roof well maintained which will ensure a longer life span.
We can offer advice on all aspects of thatching including thatch surveys, insurance reports, fireproofing and listed buildings.
Rod and John are members of the National Society of Master Thatchers which is the largest representative of thatchers in the country.
The NSMT are the resource of first choice for members, their customers, conservation officers, the media and for all who care about thatch as part of our national heritage.
