The Leading Portsmouth Thatchers Company

Thatched roofing is a traditional style of roofing that dates back centuries, involving the use of dry vegetation, such as straw and water reed, to create the roof covering. Thatching is a popular roofing method in the UK, with it being most commonly used on cottages, but it can be used on other builds. It is a popular roofing choice for its aesthetics, the sustainability of the materials, and due to its excellent insulating properties.

However, while a popular choice, thatched roofs require specialist attention when compared to traditional roofing methods. You can’t just call up your nearest roofer and have them work on the thatched roof, as they aren’t specially trained and could cause damage. Plus, it is always good to have a healthy knowledge of thatch as a material, as this can help you look after your thatched roof.

But how do you go about finding qualified thatchers in your area? And where can you find out more about thatching in general? Well, here at the NSMT, we are on hand to assist with all of the above, as we are the leading Portsmouth thatchers company. In fact, we are the largest recognised body of thatchers in the UK, and we provide a wealth of information regarding thatch and can help you find qualified thatchers to work on your thatched roof.

We can help to match your property and your thatching requirements to registered master thatchers in Portsmouth, ensuring you have a reliable team on hand to carry out any work. Plus, our team can talk you through thatching in general, providing information on everything from materials used and the best maintenance methods to insurance providers and more. Whatever your requirements might be for thatching, we can assist.

Find Traditional Portsmouth Thatchers

As we mentioned above, we at the NSMT are the largest recognised body of thatchers in the UK, and our aim here is to help thatched property owners to find reliable and qualified thatchers near them. So, if you have been searching for a qualified thatcher but aren’t sure who to trust, you need look no further than our handy database. We will be able to match your thatched roof and requirements to a skilled and qualified thatcher in Portsmouth, ensuring you only hire a team you can trust with your thatched roof.

As the largest recognised body of thatchers in the country, we boast a database at the NSMT that lists all the thatchers we have recognised for being skilled, qualified, and trustworthy. Every thatcher on our list works throughout the UK, including some in Portsmouth, and some are even prepared to work abroad if required. All member thatcher’s work has been inspected by their peers and all agree to our Guide to Considerate Site Practice, too, so you can rest assured knowing you are hiring a trustworthy and qualified thatcher when using our database.

However, when you are hiring a thatcher, we always recommend that you use our database. This is because there are an increasing number of thatchers that claim to be a member when they are not. These thatchers use our logo on their vans, paperwork, and websites, but they are not members. If a thatcher isn’t listed in our database, they are not registered members of the NSMT.

Using our database is simple, as you just need to enter your postcode and a list of registered thatchers near your home will appear. You can then just go through and choose the company you wish to hire, safe in the knowledge they are registered members of the NSMT.
