Form - Function - Longevity; the key elements of our craft.

These three elements are very closely linked: form affects function, function affects longevity.
To consistently create something of beauty that functions to maximum efficiency, and lasts as long as it’s possible for it to last, is no easy task. For the concientious craftsman this aim provides the basis for a whole lifetime's working experience.

Thatching in its highest form is a craft with a touch of art. All the skills necessary to prepare and apply the various materials to best effect must be mastered. A personal style and an eye for line and level developed.

I hope that this website gives you a insight into the art & craft of what we do, and also the business reality of the thatching industry.
