Armstrong Master Thatchers
Established in 1961, Bob Armstrong Master Thatchers have established a reputation for quality workmanship of all types of thatched roofs that is second to none.
Thatched roofs created with such care and attention will last a good 25 years compared to some lesser quality thatched roofs which may only last 15 years. The difference is the quality of materials used, together with the preparation and groundwork to make sure that the base coat of the roof is sound for the fixing of the new thatch.
