ThatchKeeper is built around the recurring jobs, evidence and decisions that come with owning a thatched property — not around generic household storage.
Everything is organised around one property so you can reconstruct what happened years later without searching old inboxes, paper folders or photo libraries.
Thatch type, listed status, approximate age, last re-thatch, last ridge, insurer and renewal date.
Inspections, repairs, patching, ridge work, re-thatching, contractor notes, photographs and cost.
Sweeps, inspections, flue work, stove servicing, certificates and the next date you choose to track.
Record the conditions written in your own policy. Add frequency, next date and the evidence you want to keep.
Owner-entered smoke alarm, loft detector, electrical and fire-equipment records without pretending to certify safety.
Turn professional advice, policy wording and your own maintenance plan into visible dated tasks.
Keep an index for certificates, surveys, policy schedules, invoices, permissions and contractor paperwork.
Keep specialist thatchers, chimney sweeps, electricians, stove engineers and surveyors with the property record.
See what the roof, chimney and specialist maintenance have actually cost over time.
ThatchKeeper does not decide how often your chimney must be swept, whether your electrical installation is satisfactory, whether listed-building consent is required or whether your insurer will accept a claim.
It gives you a reliable place to record what your insurer, contractor, fire service, conservation officer or other competent professional has told you — and to keep the supporting evidence.
The value of the record increases as the years pass. A future buyer, surveyor, insurer or new owner can understand the history far more quickly when the information is structured.
Add what you already know: roof type, dates, policy and current contractors.
Log work and evidence as it happens rather than reconstructing it later.
Prepare insurance renewals with the relevant history already organised.
Export a property record when you sell, change broker or bring in a new contractor.
