It would be worth finding a thatcher - if only so you have someone who will repair/replace the roof when the time comes.
A good one will be able to tell you what maintenance work you need to have done and which tasks you as householder can do.
A lot of traditional roof enthusiasts hang out at http://www.slateroofcentral.com/ You may find a thatcher through a referral request there.
