Rescuing a thatched outbuilding
Today we’re renovating a semi derelict thatched outbuilding near www.underthethatch.co.uk/croagh that has been letting in water for decades. The thatch has rotted to grass. We’re conserving the roof structure and all under a new tin cap. We’ve had to rebuild 25% of the roof using laths and scraw salvaged from collapsed C19 roofs.
