A1 Roofiing Cambridge

Thatched roofs are a beautiful and unique feature of many properties in Cambridgeshire, but they do require regular maintenance to ensure they remain in good condition. One of the most common questions we get asked is how often thatched roofs need replacing. The answer depends on several factors, including the quality of the thatch, the materials used, and the level of maintenance carried out.

A well-maintained thatched roof can last for many years, typically between 15 to 30 years. However, this can vary depending on the type of thatch used and the conditions it is exposed to. For example, a roof thatched with high-quality water reed can last longer than one thatched with long straw. Regular inspections and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of a thatched roof, but eventually, it will need to be replaced.

There are several signs that a thatched roof needs replacing, including:

• A significant amount of moss or lichen growth, which can indicate that the thatch is decaying
• Cracks or gaps in the thatch, which can allow water to penetrate the roof
• A sagging or uneven roofline, which can indicate that the thatch is no longer providing adequate support
• A significant amount of thatch missing or damaged, which can compromise the integrity of the roof
