The purpose of a thatch insurance survey is to determine the overall condition of the thatched roof, identify any potential risks or hazards, and recommend any necessary repairs or maintenance to reduce the risk of fire or other damage. Thatched roofs are more susceptible to fire than other roofing materials, so it’s important to ensure that the roof is in good condition and that any potential hazards are addressed.
During the survey, I will assess the thatch layer, inspect the roof structure, and examine the chimney and any other features that may pose a risk. I will also review the property’s fire safety measures, such as smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, and make recommendations for improvements.
After the survey is complete, I will provide a detailed report outlining my findings and recommendations. This report can be used to demonstrate to insurance companies that the property is well-maintained and that appropriate measures have been taken to reduce the risk of fire or other damage.
A thatch insurance survey is an important step in ensuring the safety and security of a thatched property and obtaining insurance coverage for the property. It’s recommended that a thatch insurance survey be conducted every few years to ensure that the roof remains in good condition and any potential hazards are identified and addressed.
