Roofing & property care in Hovingham
Hovingham is an estate village on the edge of the Howardian Hills, shaped by Hovingham Hall and the Worsley family, who have lived here since 1563. Marrs Beck runs north through the village, past the green, towards the River Rye, and the cottages around it give Hovingham a distinctive, carefully kept character. Its parish church of All Saints has a tower of Saxon origin.
In a village like this, roofline work needs thought. A bright white UPVC fascia that would be fine on a modern house can look out of place on a traditional cottage. Advanced Property Care inspects fascias, soffits and bargeboards on Hovingham properties and talks through options that suit the building, from UPVC in woodgrain or darker colours to repairing timber where that is more appropriate. You get a clear written quote and photographs of the work.

Roofs in Hovingham: what we look out for
Traditional buildings here are mostly local stone, with pantile or slate roofs and painted timber at eaves and gables. Bargeboards on gables are exposed to driving rain, and if paint is neglected the joints open and the timber behind gutters and at the bottom of boards starts to rot. Limestone has long been quarried at Wath, just east of the village, and stone walls can hold damp around timber built into them.
Newer houses in Hovingham are more likely to have UPVC roofline already, but earlier installations may have been capped over old boards or fitted without proper ventilation. Common issues include soft fascias behind gutters, cracked soffit boards, gaps that let birds into the roof, and condensation in lofts where eaves ventilation is missing. Mature trees around the village also keep some roof edges shaded and slow to dry.

Fascias, Soffits & Roofline for Hovingham homes
Our fascia and soffit work starts with removing the old boards, checking rafter ends and replacing any rotten timber. We then fit new UPVC fascias, soffits and bargeboards, with ventilation and eaves protection where needed, and usually new gutters at the same time so the whole roofline is sound.
For sensitive or listed buildings in Hovingham, UPVC may not be appropriate, and you should check with the council before changing materials. In those cases we can discuss repairing or replacing timber boards like-for-like. We also clean existing UPVC roofline and seal gaps where birds have been getting in. Whichever material suits your house, we photograph the rafter ends and finished work so you have a full record of what was found behind the old boards.

Questions from Hovingham homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can I fit UPVC fascias to a stone cottage in Hovingham?
It depends on the building. If it is listed or in a sensitive setting, the council may expect traditional materials, so check before work starts. For other properties, darker or woodgrain UPVC often sits better with stone than bright white. We will talk through options when we visit.
How do I know if my fascias are rotten?
Signs include flaking paint, soft spots when pressed, gutters that have dropped or pulled away, dark staining and gaps at joints. From the ground you may see the gutter line sagging. We inspect closely and take photographs so you can see the condition for yourself.
What is the point of soffit ventilation?
Ventilated soffits allow air to move through the roof space, which helps stop condensation forming on timbers and insulation. Many older roofs have little or no eaves ventilation. Adding it when replacing the roofline is a simple way to help keep the loft dry.
Can you replace just the bargeboards on one gable?
Yes. Gable bargeboards often fail before the rest of the roofline because they take the worst of the weather. We can replace a single set of bargeboards, matching the existing style, and check the verge tiles and mortar at the same time.
