If you want to extend the life of your thatched roof then maintenance, care, and repair are key. Maintenance and preventive care are very important for extending your roofs lifespan.

Proper care will not only keep the roof in a good state but will also help you save a lot in costs too. If your roof is left alone, water can penetrate through and after some time the amount of money needed for repair will increase. It’s, therefore, very important to continuously check your thatched roof and keep on top of any kind of maintenance job that’s needed.

Taking care of your home’s thatched roof will save you a lot of money in the long run by fixing small problems before they turn into a major problem, whilst it will also strengthen the durability of your roof. Some of the main causes of damages that occur on a thatched roof include fungi, algae, and moss. In the course of maintenance, it’s advisable to always clean it and at least retighten it once a year.
