I always love the way that thatched roofs looked since I first saw one when I was a little kid over 60 years ago .

Can you give any advice for people who think they want to get into that industry but really don't know anything about it

I am so happy that thatch roofs are still in practice and that it’s gaining popularity.

One important issue not raised here, is the many types of ''Thatch' material. The one most sort-after, which used to be plentyful, is grown in only a few places in Britain now.

I screenshotted this comment. Too poetic.

In northern Germany we have A LOT of these houses with thatched roofs (especially old farm houses). We even have some villages with these kind of houses only. The bad thing is, that the maintaining of these houses is very complex and expensive. That’s why you see less and less of them everywhere.

Slightly odd, given that , as this vid implies, Thatching is a growing fashionable 'extra' in Britain..

It is extremely cool in the summer and warm in winter. I loved thatched roof.

Renewable, breathable, insulating, local, sustainable. Only thing they don´t cover here is the spiders that live in the bloody eaves coming down at night to say hi.

They can be treated or sprayed with a fire retardant. AND, the skill in applying the straw, as can be seen, is that it is VERY tightly compacted. So reduces air and rain entry, but high heat insulation .

Thatch is attractive aesthetically, but it burns easily and is designed to deflect water. Wouldn't live under it again.
