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.
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:
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.
The time required to install a thatched roof can vary based on the size and complexity of the project:
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.
Thatched roofs should be installed by skilled thatch roofers with experience in traditional thatching techniques. These professionals have the knowledge and expertise to ensure a high-quality, durable thatched roof.
Common materials for thatched roofs include water reed, straw, sedge, and heather. Each material has its own benefits and is chosen based on availability, climate, and the desired aesthetic.
The lifespan of a thatched roof depends on the materials used and the quality of the installation. On average, a well-maintained thatched roof can last between 20 to 30 years, with water reed often lasting longer than straw.

Whilst the app is a good idea having to select a job costing beforehand when you're not sure how much to pay is very frustrating. It also reduces your negotiation of any job with the tradesman you're contacting, I've used the RP app a few times but not sure if I will use it again. On this occasion I only had 1 reply so was grateful to get the job done but it comes at a price.

I cannot rate these guys highly enough. Their challenge was to strip my flat roof & replace years of bodged felt , rotten boarding & rotten joists.

Lee and his team did a great job on replacing our roof - scaffolding was up and everything renewed within a few days. Communication was good and we got updates about when the work was happening and when the team would be arriving. They worked almost without stopping each day even though it was freezing weather, left everything tidy and disposed of waste, and showed us pictures of progress and the completed roof. Really happy with their work and it's good to have peace of mind with a big job done.
