Patching and Repairing
Highest quality Thatching across Dorset
Patching and Repairing Properties
Having a section of roof that has a leak does not always require an entire re-thatch.
Where appropriate, Patching can repair the damaged section and form a water-tight seal so making the property secure for the owners and giving extended lifespan.
Patching is one of the important skills a thatcher can learn, a repair can give a property extended life, without a complete re-thatch.
Parts of a property can be Re-thatched and joined to old thatch, whilst valleys can be re-thatched.
Many Thatch properties in Dorset have been done in different stages to keep costs down and give the property roof an extended lifespan.
Roof Repairs for Thatched Homes and Properties
Inside your loft space, you may notice thatch hanging down or a damaged rafter. Many structural repairs can be done from the inside or repaired externally in sections to avoid a roof re-build.
Thatch Properties with Patching
In years gone by, you would have seen many thatched properties throughout Dorset that have been patched.
More recently you tend to see less and less patched thatched buildings.
Patch can give your a roof extended lifespan, where multi-layered under coats are repaired, and fixed back to the ash polls or rafters.
The team at Mike Howes Master Thatcher is versatile and there are no thatching tasks that we cannot overcome.

Re-thatching over existing coats will usually require stripping up to two coats to prevent excessive weight being placed on the roof and to gain an even finish. While Re-ridging at the right time can prolong the life of your entire roof.
