Thatched roofs are often seen with a layer of moss. In damp locations or where there are trees surrounding the property, moss growth is common. Many thatch owners choose to have moss removed for aesthetic reasons.

There are several conflicting opinions within the industry about whether to leave moss in situ or to remove it. Moss growth can cause excessive moisture to be retained by the thatch material, resulting in uneven, premature wear. However, there is also evidence that moss has antifungal properties which could possibly extend the lifespan of a thatched roof. Analysing each roof on a case by case basis is usually the best approach.
