Do you need a quality New Forest thatch ridging service? We have over 40 years’ experience in thatch roofing and ridging. Your thatched roof is the frame of your home, so make sure you choose the best ridging service to keep it looking its best.
The ridge is a coat of supple straw or reed fixed along the apex to bind the roof. It is there to take the brunt of harsh weather conditions and to protect the rest of the thatch. To ensure a thatched roof is well maintained, the ridge should be replaced approximately every 10 years. During a re-ridging job, we will typically tidy up the edges of the roof, remove moss, and carry out any minor repairs.
Professional ridging keeps a property looking smart and enhances the rural, traditional appearance of your thatched roof. Thatch ridging can be tailored to suit the tastes of the customer and, at R. V. Miller, we offer the following styles:
