Thatch roof fire retardant application process explained.
Step 1 - Assessment & Preparation
We conduct a thorough inspection of the thatch roof ceiling to assess the extent of dirt, debris, mold, and potential pest infestations. The room is cleared or furniture covered with protective sheeting.
Step 2 - Dust & Cobweb Removal
The thatch surface must be free from dust, dirt and grime before the fire retardant can be applied. We use an industrial vacuum and blower to effectively eliminate dust, cobwebs, and loose particles from the thatch ceiling.
Step 3 - Fire Retardant Application
Application of a specially formulated fire retardant solution to the interior & exterior of the thatch roof with a spray applicator. This solution is designed to resist fungus, mildew as well as algae giving it better longevity and improved health properties.
Step 4 - Drying Time
The fire retardant solution is allowed to dry, ensuring that it penetrates the thatch fibers effectively. The thatch fire retardant solution dries to a clear, matt finish.

Flammability of thatch roofs explained.
Thatch roofs are often misunderstood when it comes to their flammability. Contrary to common belief, thatch burns slowly, often likened to the pages of a closed book by experienced thatchers. The primary causes of fires are typically linked to wood burners and faulty chimneys with degraded or poorly maintained flues. Sparks from paper or burned rubbish can ignite dry thatch around a chimney, leading to potential fire hazards.
Furthermore, fires may originate from sparks or flames that drift through degraded chimneys, igniting the surrounding partially charred thatch. Preventative measures include ensuring the chimney’s good condition, which may involve stripping thatch immediately surrounding it to the full depth of the stack, and applying a high-quality fire retardant to the exterior and interior of the thatch roof.
