Christopher Keelty Thatching

"Chris Keelty worked for us during the summer of 2014 removing the old thatch and re-thatching the main house, about five weeks in all. During this time we found him to be a conscientious worker and a pleasure to have around, arriving punctually each morning and leaving after a full day’s work. At the end of each day he left the area around the house clean and tidy. Chris is a true craftsman whose quality of workmanship is plain for all to see, it is admired by all who pass and visit the house, added to his skill is the fact that he is a thoroughly decent chap and totally trustworthy. I do not intend here to write pages, but let it be said in these few words; I have nothing but the highest praise for his character and his craftsmanship. I therefore recommend him to you."

"In November 2016 Chris Keelty started work on my cottage and annex. He completely re-ridged both roofs and recoated one side of the annex, doing an excellent job on both, completing the work in January 2017. His price was very reasonable. Chris worked hard throughout keeping me informed of progress. I found him reliable and punctual and always very cheerful and therefore it was a pleasure to have him around. I would strongly recommend him as a thatcher."

"From our first site meeting to final completion, dealing with Chris has been an absolute pleasure. Cheerful and charming, throughout the process he was well-organised, efficient and he was careful to minimise the mess and disruption. He delivered to time and budget and the final result fulfilled all our expectations. Our new thatched roof has drawn very favourable comment from our neighbours and more widely within the village. I recommend him without reservation."
