| "The lifetime of a thatched roof is dependent on a number of factors including maintenance and material. Paul Cook is all too familiar with these." |
|
|
| Professional, independent surveys |
| It could be that with only minimal work on the ridge every 7 to 10 years, your roof would last up to 60 years being properly maintained. However, this is dependent on a number of factors. |
| A thatched roofing survey would include: |
 |
Rafter inspection |
 |
Coursework checking for course marking |
 |
Full ridge inspection |
 |
Ledger work inspection |
 |
Full survey of roof surface checking for:
wear, bowing, seepage, l
oose laying |
|
| |
A simple survey will tell you what work needs doing in the near future and what works would be needed in the future. With this knowledge it is a simple matter to plan and possibly negotiate on any purchase price. In the event that you wish to have your potential new home or your own thatched house surveyed contact Paul Cook.
