Vincent Vaughan: a Dorset Master Thatcher

(07703 044546) with over 25 years’ experience,

starting with a well-respected company in West

Dorset, covering projects in the South West of

England and beyond, and subsequently as a self-

employed craftsman.

Skilled in a range of techniques including water reed and wheat

straw, I and my full-time apprentice, are committed to providing

excellent quality craftsmanship.

We appreciate that owning and maintaining a thatched roof is a

long-term commitment. Choosing a thatcher who shares your

values is important, whether you need a full rethatch, timberwork

repair or replacement, a new ridge, or simply some maintenance

and repair work. Together we pride ourselves on doing a great job

for our customers at a fair price and you can be sure of the

individual attention your thatched roof deserves.

We will always use the best quality materials available. Reed is

ordered specifically for each individual job and obtained from

South West reed suppliers. Wheat reed is locally sourced whereas

water reed is generally sourced from abroad. The country of origin

will vary depending on the best quality available at the time. We

are able to advise on the most appropriate materials for your roof,

taking into account existing material, Listings status and local

conditions.

Hazelwood spars are sourced locally from the Dorset woods and

are processed by a traditional craftsman in Puddletown.
