Over the years a thatched roof goes through wear and tear. In addition moss, trees and sometimes even mushrooms could grow on a roof. This all depends on the location of the roof and the climate.

This means that after 10-15 years a roof needs to be cleaned. This is done by removing the moss and other growths. After the cleaning of the roof the moss will grow back, but to reduce the amount of moss on the roof we can apply an moss inhibitor . This treatment will reduce the amount of moss on the roof.

We shave of the top layer containing the brittle thatch we a trimmer. At the same time, we repair parts of the roof that have experienced more wear and tear to ensure that the roof remains waterproof.

Some parts that experience more wear and tear are the valleys as well as the top of roof chapels. Roof chapels are typically less steep angled allowing the rain to reach deeper into the roof, and therefore make repairs and possible replacement necessary more often.

Roof tiles are also replaced if they are broken or missing.

In case the roof is to thin, renovation of the roof might be necessary to ensure that the roof remains waterproof.
