Dodson Brothers Win Best Thatched House Award
Dodson Brothers Thatchers has won the coveted Best Thatched House Award for 2015!
The winning project was located at the property of Mr and Mrs Inglis from Clavering.
The Mill End Dairy Farm has a new thatched roof completed in a 3-month
long effort and the finished result bagged Dodson Brothers their 6th
award from the National Society of Master Thatchers.
From October to December last year, Dodson Brothers worked tirelessly to
restore the thatched roof at the Inglis’ property with employees Iain
Wallace, Michael Walton, Todd Zellars, Paul Brasnett and Ross Pammenter.
In 2011 Dodson Brothers Thatchers won first place in the Best Thatched
House awards and this is now the sixth time that they have bagged the
number 1 spot. Stuart Dodson, grandson of the original founder of the
company, is extremely proud to have been recognised by the industry and
says; “Because this award is given by thatchers to thatchers, it really
shows that we are at the top of our game. Because of the size of our
company, we are able to take on bigger and more complex jobs and give
them the proper time and care that they deserve.”
No strangers to the limelight, Dodson Brothers Thatchers have also
featured on BBC One’s Countryfile as they restored a roof with the help
of presenter Matt Baker.
The company covers a wide area, including Cambridgeshire, Norfolk,
Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Rutland, Huntingdon, Buckinghamshire,
Bedfordshire and Essex, although they have also taken enquiries from as
far as field as Holland, America and even Australia!
