Sometimes
an untidy roof can be given another lease of life with a new ridge ,a
few repairs and new wire netting. Wire netting is covered over
the complete roof to keep out vermin.

There is as much work preparing the straw as there is thatching the roof.
Long straw thatching is very labour intensive, and a two man team could take six weeks to thatch a roof.
