Glen Charter Master Thatchers

Glen Charter Master Thatcher is a traditionally trained thatcher, who has 32 years of experience in the trade, and is a certified member of the National Society of Master Thatcher’s

He offers a wide range of services throughout the Kent area, and offers a free quote and advice service for those interested in investing in a thatched roof or repairing their current one.

Thatch is a sustainable and eco-friendly material, providing good insulation against both hot and cold weather, and removing any need for gutters due to its wide eaves. Despite the common misconception, thatched roofs do not catch fire any more regularly than any other roof. Therefore, not only are they a beautiful finishing touch to any house or property, but they are also a practical, and sustainable option for your roof.

What Our Clients Say

Glen Charter Master Thatchers - Testimonial

Glen Charter and his team have just left walnut tree farm after spending 10 days removing old wire, old ridge and an abundance of moss that had built up over the last 20 years on our roof. Despite exceedingly hot weather and them strong winds they all worked with speed, efficiency and good humour resulting in a well repaired roof and new ridge, the decoration any needle women would be delighted to obtain. The picture says it all. We were delighted to have them around they were professional in every way even to the total clean up when they’d finished.
