Dan Plank Master Thatcher


I have over 26 years of experience in the traditional art of thatching, having worked in both the New Forest, and more recently in East Devon.

As a proud member of the National Society of Master Thatchers, and Devon & Cornwall Master Thatcher Association, I take great pride in my work and have worked with a variety of materials from water reed to combed wheat reed and long straw.

No matter what your project entails, I’d love to hear more and jump in to help. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

“… Building works can often feel a stressful process to get through but not with Dan and his team. They were a pleasure to have working on our house – excellent communication both with us and other tradespeople working on the house too. The level of care and skill in their work was a joy to watch and we’re absolutely delighted with how good it looks now.”
