Thatched Roof Property Risks

Many insurers will simply not insure thatched roofed homes.  The fire risk is predominantly the factor that concerns them most.

If you have a thatched roof house, proximity to a fire station and in-home fire precautions can make a difference on whether you can find suitable cover.

As an example, The Guildhall at Higham recently suffered a blaze which firefighters were able to contain to a chimney.  Had the fire spread to the thatch then the damage would have been more serious.
