Professional thatching. Expert tree felling.
Quality construction.
K. O THATCH GROUP, TREE FELLING AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANY builds and restores thatch roofs, lapas and outdoor structures, clears and fells trees, and takes on the building work around them.
What we do
Three trades, one crew
Most jobs touch more than one of them: a roof that needs branches cleared first, or a lapa that needs footings before the poles go up.
Tree Felling
Tree removal, trimming and site clearing carried out carefully around buildings, walls and pools.
Learn moreConstruction
Building work, outdoor structures and property improvements handled by the same crew that thatches the roof.

How a thatch roof comes together
From bare poles to a combed ridge
Structure and framing
Poles set out, levelled and fixed so the roof has something true to sit on.
Laying and combing
Reed or grass laid in courses, combed tight and dressed into the profile of the roof.
Finished roof
Ridge closed, eaves trimmed square and the site cleared of offcuts.
Why K. O Thatch Group
Built to be worth the money
Thatch fails at the details: pitch, ridge and fixings. Those get priced and explained up front rather than raised halfway through.
Professional workmanship
Pitch, layer depth and ridge detail decided on site by the people who will do the work.
Safety-conscious on site
Trees taken down in sections and scaffold set properly, so nothing lands where it shouldn't.
One crew, start to finish
Felling, poles, building work and thatch handled by our own team rather than passed around.
Quality-focused finishes
Combed, trimmed and cleaned down before we call a roof finished.
Residential and commercial
Private homes, lodges, guest farms and estates, from a single gazebo to a full roof.
