Are thatched roofs expensive to insure?
Yes, properties with a thatch roof will be more expensive to insure than standard non-thatched houses, this is down to two key factors.
- 1. Cost of Repairs : The materials are more expensive than traditional slates. This is compounded by the specialist skills required to work on a thatched roof , which do not come cheap.
- 2. The Increased risk to the insurance provider : if the owner of a thatched property follows common-sense guidance with regular chimney and electrical inspections, the risk of the property catching fire is no greater than a standard home. However, should a fire take hold it can cause immense damage in a very short pewriod of time, which is not as true with an non-thatched property.
