Fowler & Sons Master Thatchers

Thatched houses have graced the English scenery for centuries. Contrary to widespread belief, the tradition still thrives to date, and is a symbol of our rich cultural heritage. Fowler & Sons Master Thatchers Ltd was founded in 1976, and since then, has remained committed to preserving the longstanding tradition. Steve, at the helm of the company, is a bona fide Master Thatcher, who has passed down his vast wealth of thatching knowledge to his sons Neil and Ben. Together, Fowler and his sons dedicate themselves to providing wide-ranging roof thatching services to clients.

Thatch is a natural product composed of reeds, grass or heathers which are cut, dried, and thatched to form a waterproof roof. Generally, any roof can be thatched, but roofs with more than a 45-degree slope are preferred because they shed water fast. A roof with a lower pitch will not shed water as fast, so will not have the same lifespan. We offer a comprehensive design and build service to enhance a property with a thatched porch or summerhouse. This makes us the preferred master thatchers in Gloucestershire.

At Fowler's, we are all about family. Steve Fowler, a proud owner, has been thatching for over 40 years and his two sons, Neil and Ben, joined in 2002 and 2007, working alongside him ever since. A thatched roof is a great investment and its performance depends on many factors, including expertise and materials, and as master thatchers in Wiltshire, we are committed to creating a thatched roof you will be proud of. Our vast portfolio is a testament to our skill and dedication and our team has spent many years honing their craft across all aspects of thatching work.
