Reed Roof Thatching Services
by JP Mugan Construction & Thatching
Reed thatching is a traditional roofing technique that involves using bundles of dried reed stalks to create a waterproof and visually appealing covering for roofs. The process requires skill and precision, as the reeds are layered and tightly bound to form a dense, insulating barrier. One of the primary benefits of reed thatching is its natural durability and resistance to weathering.
Reed roofs have excellent insulation properties, providing effective protection against both harsh sunlight and heavy rain. Additionally, reed thatching offers a timeless aesthetic, adding a rustic charm to any structure. With proper maintenance, reed thatched roofs can withstand the test of time, making them a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. The flexibility and versatility of reed thatching make it suitable for a range of architectural styles, creating roofs that are not only functional but also uniquely beautiful.

Reed Roof Maintenance
While reed thatch roofs typically have a lifespan of around 20 years, ensuring their longevity requires proactive maintenance to address potential damages or emerging issues. Our reed thatch maintenance services are designed to help you stay ahead of any problems, preserving the pristine appearance of your thatched roof for an extended period.
In general, reed roofs should undergo a complete re-thatching every 20 years. Attempting to repair a reed roof that needs replacing is not cost-effective and may lead to further damage. If you’re uncertain about whether your roof requires a repair or a complete re-thatch, feel free to reach out to us for guidance.
