“We’ve recently undergone a complete rethatch on our beautiful 14th century cottage. This company are professional, courteous and extremely hardworking. To be honest it has been a fabulous distraction during the long days of lockdown. The end result is stunning, the comments from the villagers in Nonington say it all. Thank-you Craftwork Master Thatchers.” – Kim Carvell, Nonington, Kent
