Why do I need thatch insurance

Thatched properties cannot be placed under standard property insurance. These buildings are classified as non-standard construction and come with a greater level of risk associated with thatch roofing.
The associated higher risks that thatch properties carry is because of the extent of damage when a thatched property catches fire as well as the speed in which a fire can spread.

Thatch roof buildings are normally built with lots of character and therefore each one is usually unique. An insurance policy covering all the features to create a standard insurance for thatched properties would be very expensive.
