Thatching Services Across Dorset

Thatching is an art that dates back centuries, and roofs consisting of thatch were once found throughout the country. As time has moved on, thatched roofs have largely been supplanted by modern roofing systems. Yet the art is still very much alive, and many buildings still sport a thatched roof. Unfortunately, finding companies these days that offer affordable, reliable thatching services can be tricky.

That’s where RV Miller comes in. We’re a family-run business that’s been in the thatching industry for nearly 60 years. We provide a wide range of services, from installing thatched roofs to repairing damaged roofs and installing new ridging. If your thatch ridging, Bridport customers, has seen better days, we’re the experts to call!

Our Thatch Ridging Services in Bridport

The ridge is the very top of the thatched roof and sits at the apex of the roof, where it protects the final line of fixings and the top course of thatch. In this sense, ridging is as much for practical benefits as it is for aesthetic reasons. Ridges usually come in a variety of styles, from basic to more ornate styles. You also have two different types of riding – block and flush.

Block ridging sits on top of the roof and is usually several inches thick. It may be a straight cut or patterned (ornamental). A flush ridge, also called a turnover, wrapover, or buttup ridge sits flush with the main coatwork. These are often decorated with a spar pattern and are commonly associated with Longstraw roofs. Ridges are often made using either straw or water reed.

Whatever ridge your property happens to have, if it’s around ten years since it was last replaced, you’d be wise to give us a call. We can replace any ridge in any style.

Why Choose RV Miller For your Thatching Needs?

RV Miller was established in 1966 by Rod Miller. Today the company is run by Rod’s stepson, John Tozer, who, like his stepfather, is a proud member of the National Society of Master Thatchers (NSMT) and the Dorset Master Thatchers Association (DMTA). They lead a team of professional, in-house trained thatchers who are the best Bridport has to offer.

Whether your thatch roof has seen better days and needs replacing, the ridge has reached the end of its life, or your roof has been damaged, we’re here to help.
