New thatch roofs
Structures set out in poles or timber, then thatched in reed or grass. Pitch and layer depth are chosen for the span and the exposure of the site.
Thatching
Thatch roofs laid, repaired and restored

Re-thatching and restoration
Tired thatch stripped back to sound purlins, anything rotten replaced, and new material combed into the existing profile so the roof reads as one age.
Repairs and maintenance
Leaks traced to the actual cause, ridges re-closed, thin patches topped up and roofs combed clean rather than replaced when they do not need it.
Lapas, gazebos and boma areas
Free-standing entertainment structures, from a single-pole gazebo to a large lapa, with poles treated and footings cast before the roof goes on.

A few pictures and the age of the thatch are usually enough for us to say whether it needs a comb, a patch or a full strip.
