Hampshire Thatcher

Are you as passionate about preserving thatched roofs as we are? We are the National Society of Master Thatchers (NSMT Ltd) and we are the largest recognised body of thatchers in the UK. It is our mission to sustain the use of thatch and help to preserve thatched roofs on historical buildings, helping to maintain their aesthetic appeal. 

As well as looking after experienced thatchers in Hampshire, we also offer an apprentice training programme for hopefuls looking to step into the industry. If you would like to learn more information about what we do, then get in contact with a member of our team today. You can reach us by calling 01530 222954. 

 

Find a Hampshire Thatcher

Simply access our find a thatcher page and search either by postcode or by thatcher name. Our database is full of registered members in your area who are available for projects. Keep in mind that if you come across a thatcher who claims to be an NSMT Ltd member, but they are not in our database, then they are not registered members. 

 

Why Choose Thatch?

Not only is a thatched roof aesthetically pleasing but it can also be long-lasting and increase the value of your property. Here at NSMT Ltd, we have introduced the Material Quality Scheme that identified where and how decay forms. By implementing measures throughout the process, the reeds will maintain their impressive properties. 

The Benefits of Thatched Material

As well as bringing beauty to your property, a thatched roof is environmentally friendly, and it could last for up to 65 years if taken care of properly. Keep in mind that water reed can last up to 65 years, while combed wheat reed can live as long as 40 years, and long straw has a lifespan of up to 25 years. 

In addition to the properties already mentioned, thatched materials are lightweight, sustainable, and flexible, so you can shape the reeds into attractive patterns.
