"My wife and I purchased our thatched property in February 2015. We decided to have the cottage re-thatched last summer and so started getting thatching companies in to survey and then give quotes for the work. Howard had already been recommended through a friend. He spent a great deal of time, more so than any of the other companies that came along, surveying the property and also supplied us with a portfolio of his work. A very pleasant, unassuming young gentleman that also gave us the confidence in his ability. He quoted that evening and we decided to go with him for the work. Throughout the 10 weeks he was here his quality of work, attendance (whatever the weather and with long hours, not leaving sometimes until way after dark), dedication and attention to fine detail was unsurpassed. We now have a property with a thatched roof that has been sculptured beautifully with incredible detail in particular to the ridge. If you are looking for a quality, beautifully engineered new thatch to your property I would highly recommend this company."

"We have known Howard for some years now and we can honestly say he is very reliable, conscientious, hard working and dare we say it reasonably priced, compared with some of the other thatchers out there. We would have no issues about recommending his services".
