Water reed thatching has been used extensively for hundreds of years and is an attractive, versatile roofing material. 

Thanks to its long lifespan and timeless appeal, water reed remains a great choice for homeowners, whether they live in a modern or period property. If you have your heart set on a thatched roof, it's important to choose a contractor that has the knowledge and training to deliver the work to a high standard.
