 FAQs

  • Chiltern Garden Buildings will usually complete a re-thatch within half a day.

  • On average, you will need to re-thatch your garden building roof every 6 to 8 years. This ensures the roof remains of high quality and is in good condition. The thatch we use will need more care and attention than the traditional thatch used on houses. Chiltern Garden Buildings use South African reed, which is harvested and manufactured into a tile.

  • Unlike traditional thatch, your garden building roof thatch will last for 5- 8 years. There can be some cases where thatch will not need to be replaced after 5 – 8 years, however, it is always worth checking after 5 years have passed. If you are unsure if your thatch needs replacing and need advice, feel free to give us a call.

  • Chiltern Garden Buildings offer a nationwide service for building supply and installation, re-thatching, cedar shingle roofing and gazebo maintenance.

  • Re-thatching prices depend on the size of your gazebo and the condition of the existing roof. As a guide, a professional re-thatch starts from around £1,500 for a smaller structure. Get in touch for a detailed quote scoped to your specific gazebo.
