TDP Thatching provides specialist thatching and roofing services to homeowners across Pewsey, Wiltshire (SN9), and the wider Vale of Pewsey.
Few parts of Wiltshire offer a landscape shaped by traditional thatched roofs as does the Vale of Pewsey. Set between the River Avon and the Kennet & Avon Canal, in the shadow of Martinsell Hill and the Pewsey White Horse, the villages of the Vale are known for their high density of picturesque thatched cottages and farmhouses, many dating from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Our family-run team is proud to be available to take care of the local thatched properties in and around Pewsey, from modest cottages to substantial period homes and historic pubs, many with listed status, in areas like Wilcot, Wootton Rivers, Burbage and Alton Barnes. We help with upkeep on characterful thatched properties in Woodborough, Manningford Bruce, Milton Lilbourne, Oare, Rushall, Upavon, Great Bedwyn and Shalbourne, as well as the smaller settlements around the village of Pewsey itself, like Pewsey Wharf, Kepnal, Sharcott and Southcott.
We undertake regular ridge maintenance, periodic re-thatching, and pay careful attention to fire protection and insurance requirements. TDP Thatching’s local knowledge of these Vale of Pewsey properties means we understand the materials, pitch angles and detailing typical of the area, whether a roof was laid in water reed, long straw or combed wheat reed.
TDP Thatching Ltd is a family-run roofing company based in Melksham, Wiltshire, founded by a family team with over 40 years in the industry. Led by owner Tom Park, our team is fully equipped to handle general roofing work to a high standard, but our particular specialism is heritage thatched roofs.
Our core business is thatching, and we are capable and competent of carrying out the full range of work a Pewsey thatched roof needs over its lifetime:
Re-thatching and full thatched roof replacement
Thatch repairs, ridge replacement and refurbishment
New thatched roof installation in water reed, long straw or combed wheat reed
Flush, block and decorative ridge work
Roof inspections, fire barrier membranes and thatch fixings
Sympathetic work on listed buildings and heritage properties
Because many Pewsey Vale properties combine a thatched main roof with tiled or flat-roofed extensions and outbuildings, our team also covers conventional roofing disciplines, so there’s no need to bring in a second contractor to keep the rest of the property watertight while we work on the thatch.
We approach our work as a privilege rather than a pain, pleased to be able to make roof work in the Pewsey area straightforward and stress-free for our clients.
We’re always friendly, respectful of your property, punctual and reliable. As roofers and thatchers who are very familiar with the buildings in the Pewsey area we are always pleased to share our knowledge and experience, and you can count on us for honest advice and transparent communication with our customers.
We’re based in Melksham within easy reach of the Vale of Pewsey, which is just off the A345, with the B3087 and A303 and M4 not far away.
We regularly work on traditional thatched roofs throughout this wonderful part of the North Wessex Downs, an area with one of the richest concentrations of thatched roofing in the South West.
