In 2023, we received a commission from The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust to re-thatch the world famous Anne Hathaway’s Cottage in Stratford Upon Avon, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK with undoubtedly the most photographed thatched roof cottage in the world!
We are proud to have received the following testimonial from them:
To Jamie,
I am writing this reference letter to highly recommend Premier Master Thatcher for their exceptional performance and dedication in their role at re-riding Anne Hathaways Cottage. Jamie has consistently demonstrated an outstanding work ethic, professionalism, and a strong commitment to achieving excellent results.
Throughout the time Jamie has been on site, they have consistently exceeded expectations in all aspects of their job. They possess a solid understanding of their responsibilities and consistently deliver high-quality work within deadlines. Their attention to detail and ability to prioritise tasks have been instrumental in their success.
Jamie and his team consistently goes above and beyond their assigned duties.Their innovative ideas and problem-solving skills have resulted in significant improvements in the processes of the gardens and flowers that are a vital part of the grounds.
One of the most impressive qualities is their ability to work effectively both independently. They demonstrate excellent communication skills, actively listen to others, and are always willing to lend a helping hand. Their positive attitude and collaborative nature have greatly contributed to a positive work environment.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS
— Graham – Maids MortonWe first met Jamie (Premier Thatching) in 2012 when he came to rethatch part of our thatch, at the time we were in the process of a complete renovation of our 17th century cottage. He was able to liaise with our builder and complete the thatch and ridge to a high standard. We have kept in contact with Jamie ever since and he has been back to patch areas of our old thatch which was not renewed in 2012 rather than replace a whole area, which he has been happy to do. Last year we decided to re ridge a rear section and build up some of the thatch, we asked Jamie to complete this work, we have always been delighted with the standard of his work, and have recommended him to many other thatch owners in our village and the surrounding area. Our main roof ridge will need to replaced in the next few years and would have no hesitation in instructing Jamie to carry out this work. Graham Maids Moreton

Over the course of the last eight years, via three separate contracts, they have completely rethatched our Grade 11 listed pub in Maids Moreton, Buckinghamshire. On each and every occasion the re-thatching process has exceeded our expectations and the overall outcome, and service, has been first class. In fact we are delighted customers. We would wholeheartedly recommend that you seriously consider using Premier Master Thatchers for any thatching work that you intend to undertake on your property too.
