Heritage Thatching supplies water reed roof thatching for houses, cottages, pubs, garden buildings and heritage structures across Ireland. The work uses traditional and contemporary methods, and only natural, sustainable materials. Water reed is the material of choice: it is durable, and from harvest to finished roof thatch uses little energy and stores carbon.
