Thatched Property Information

Consultancy and Information

With Thatching so clearly in our blood, at Anglia Thatching Co., we pride ourselves on our expertise, and knowledge. 
Over the last fifty years of my families work in thatching we have worked on listed properties, Churches, thatched barns/conversions, river properties, new builds and thatched homes.

Our knowledge is extensive on water reed and straw thatched buildings and we are happy to share that with others.
We find commonly with new builds, conversions or extensions working with an architect or builder right from the planning process helps the process for everyone. We can provide important information regarding pitch thickness material etc. 

Discussions over the phone or email costs us nothing and can save time and money in the work architects and builders have to go through to supply the best possible home for their clients.
We are able to work off plan to obtain all the information we require and advise and quote for any work.
We also often become involved in the buying/selling process. Again we use our extensive knowledge to furnish buyers or sellers with the right information about the thatched roof and helping them understand what in the future will be required.

Please Get in touch with us for further information, and we will be happy to help, or click the link below to see examples of the range of projects we have previously undertaken.

Mr & Mrs Sunter Gt Witchingham

“We were beginning to despair about finding a thatcher to extend our cottage's reed roof onto our newly built extension - several were quoting a minimum of two years before they would be free. It was a stroke of luck that we were recommended the Anglia Thatching Co. by a former thatcher. They were willing and able to fit in with our programme, including coming to strip back the existing thatch at a time convenient to our needs. They showed professionalism throughout the project. They were hard-working, willing to explain and discuss the process, kept to their work schedules, were quiet whilst they worked, and kept the site tidy even during the messy process of removing the old thatch. We cannot praise them highly enough.”
