My name is Lukasz, founder of Quality Thatching Ltd. Since 2005, thatching has been more than my profession — it’s a calling.
I trained under David Kenward and Mark Padfield — both master thatchers with deep roots in traditional craft. Their mentorship shaped my standards: precision, respect for heritage, and dedication to each roof.
I now lead a company known for dependable thatching services throughout Peterborough, Leicester, and across East Anglia. Every client works directly with me — your project is never passed down a chain of contractors.
We’ve transformed homes throughout East Anglia and the East Midlands — from historic cottages in Peterborough to large country houses near Leicester.
