Using combed wheat Reed on a thatched roof, depending on the thickness and layers of straw on the thatched roof we prepare the roof and strip off what is necessary to achieve a tight and dry base coat with a thickness of between 8 to 14 inches to re fix a top coat of Thatch too.
It's standard practice to screw fix one coat onto the batons which are fixed horizontally across the rafters. Some Master Thatchers spar coat water Reed onto a base coat in a similar way combed wheat is applied to base coated thatched roof.
We use the best quality hardware made hazel spars for our patterns and spar work. Our ridges have a proven lifespan of at least 10 years and up to 14 years.
