For any re-thatch or new thatch there are regulations put in place for the chimney to be 1.8 meters away from the thatch as to eliminate any fire hazard.
In some cases replacing the ridge at the right time could lengthen the life of the whole roof. Which could in turn delay the need for re-thatching earlier than necessary.
Sometimes it is possible to repair different damaged sections. A repair will always be done in the same reed as is currently there.
