Add to your visit

Extra care for your water reed roof, added to your yearly inspection. You choose what you want when you pay for the year, and Mike does it on the same visit.

One visit, a little more done

Your yearly visit is the inspection and your report. These extras are things Mike can do on that same visit, so you are not paying for a second trip. Each one is a one-off: you add it to your yearly visit, pay for it with your year, and it is done. Nothing is on a subscription and nothing renews by itself.

Bluestone application

Bluestone treatment on a thatched roof

A bluestone wash over the thatch. It helps the reed last and keeps moss and algae down, which keeps the roof looking well and easier to keep clean. Members rate, when it is done with your yearly inspection.

€400
€350 plus VAT at 13.5%, at the members rate when it is done with your yearly inspection.

Chimney painting

Reed thatched window detail

The chimney stack above the thatch painted in a breathable finish suited to an older property, so it weathers properly instead of trapping damp.

€285
€250 plus VAT at 13.5%, per chimney.

Barge painting

Ridging a thatched roof

The bargeboards and the timber at the gable end painted where they meet the thatch, so the join stays sound and the gable looks finished. Members rate, when it is done with your yearly inspection. Barge painting is charged per gable end, so a cottage with a barge at each end needs one for each.

€230
€200 plus VAT at 13.5%, per gable end, at the members rate when it is done with your yearly inspection.

Drone video

€285
€250 plus VAT at 13.5%. Unedited video, filmed on the day of your inspection.
