 In the modern times, there aren’t too many buildings with Thatched Roofing. Modern technology has seen to it that there are several other materials that can be used to put up state-of-the-art buildings. However, whenever you come across a thatched roof, there is a sense of coolness that it exudes which is totally absent in the modern roofs. This is the reason why a number of commercial establishments such as pubs, as well as domestic properties boast of thatched roofs. However, the fewer experts and the need for regular Re-Thatching make it costly.

Most of the entertainments establishments are resorting to using thatched roofs for their buildings due to the relaxing effect that comes with it. Apart from the fresh and appealing countryside ambience that this kind of roofing creates, the natural insulation properties of the materials used for thatching such as dried water reeds and wheat straw, creates a cooling effect during very hot days and keep the house warm during very cold days. However, due to more new concepts of modern roofing, thatched roofs are now by far outnumbered by those made of manufactured materials such as corrugated iron sheets. This is true even in most rural areas, where the number of thatched roofs is expected to be higher.

The dwindling numbers of thatched houses also means that professional thatching experts are also getting fewer and fewer. It is for this reason that we now have agencies that specialize in modern Thatched Roofing in both commercial and domestic buildings. Such agencies have highly specialized professionals who employ modern technology to offer thatching services such as: New build thatching, complete re-thatching, coating, repairs, patching, ridging, netting, timberwork and surveying.

When hiring any company to do your thatched roof, ensure that they have enough experts who are competent enough to do new roofs as well as offer superb maintenance and Re-Thatching services, any time they will be needed. They should also be able to offer you a free comprehensive survey of your property and quote. As much as thatched roofs have now become more of an exception than the norm, they will obviously be around for a long time to come. This is because human beings love preserving their heritage and thatched roofs instantly take us back in time any time we come across them. They rustic touch that they give to any building is totally irresistible.

Thatched roofs are slowly making a comeback in the modern building and construction industry. However, unlike in the past when this kind of roofing used to be the most common and easily affordable alternative, it is now a rarity which needs highly experienced experts in order to get it right. For this kind of roofs to last, the prevailing climatic conditions matter a lot. Heavy snow and humid conditions don’t favour the thatch. The scarcity of thatching experts and the need for regular Re-Thatching services has seen the cost of thatched roofs go up. However, in spite of the high costs of putting up the thatched roofs and maintaining them, they will be around for a long time to come due their cool ambience and rustic appeal. The Thatched Roofing gives a unique rural setting to any building regardless of its location, and with it comes a refreshing relaxation, especially in entertainment spots.
