On average in Cornwall Wheat reed will last between 15 and 20 years. Water reed will last between 25 and 30 years. This is all dependant on the quality of thatching the material,the pitch of the roof and where it is located. E.g. A flat pitched roof in a valley wont last as long as a steeply pitched roof with plenty of air circulation.
