The Most Experienced Roof Thatcher, Bournemouth Has to Offer 

How Can a Roof Thatcher in Bournemouth Help You? 

You might think that all thatch is the same, but you’d be wrong. Thatched roofs are comprised of reed of which there are two types: water and wheat. These types are not necessarily used interchangeably as some roofs are better suited to one over the other. Both materials are used by our roof thatcher, Bournemouth customers. 


Water Reed

Sourced from Turkey, Romania, and Hungary, water reed is the strongest material of the two, able to withstand the elements far longer than wheat reed. So long as it’s installed by a professional roof thatcher, in Bournemouth, customers have noted roofs lasting as long as 45 years!  

Wheat Reed

Wheat reed, by comparison, is far less durable but it is lighter. Some buildings cannot support a water reed roof for one reason or another. If this is the case than a wheat reed is an excellent, albeit slightly less durable alternative. Still, when installed by our Bournemouth roof thatcher, you can expect your roof to last for up to 25 years with proper maintenance. 

Thatch Ridging Dorset

Repairs and Ridging 

Speaking of proper repairs and maintenance, RV Miller offers two services in this area: repairs and ridging. Your thatch can be damaged by falling debris, trees, and strong winds. Plus, the constant impact from the elements over time can also be a factor. If left unchecked, your roof will let in the cold and damp, leading to mould and rot developing. 

If your roof needs fixing, call our roof thatcher in Bournemouth right away. They’ll pinpoint any issues and get them rectified in no time. And if a new roof is needed, they’ll advise you accordingly. Likewise, we recommend having the ridging re-done every ten years or so to preserve the look and integrity of your roof. Come to RV Miller for this as we provide a range of styles, from plain to ornate. 

To summarise, services offered by us include: 

  • Maintenance 
  • Repairs 
  • Ridging 
  • Waterproofing Spray 
  • Installations
