Roofing & property care in Brandsby
Brandsby sits on the road between Easingwold and Hovingham, close to the Howardian Hills, with a little over a hundred homes in its parish. It is a village of character: the Italianate sandstone Brandsby Hall, built for the Cholmeley family, and All Saints Church, an unusual classical design from 1770, give it a look quite unlike its neighbours. The village was also a centre of medieval pottery production, giving its name to Brandsby-type ware.
Alongside its period buildings, Brandsby has plenty of practical flat-roofed structures: garages, rear extensions, porches, dormers and outbuildings. Advanced Property Care inspects and repairs flat roofs here, checking the deck, falls and outlets as well as the surface finish. You get a clear written quote for repair or replacement and photographs of the work. Small roofs still deserve a proper job.

Roofs in Brandsby: what we look out for
In a rural parish like Brandsby, flat roofs often appear on later additions: single-storey kitchen extensions, garden rooms, garages and converted outbuildings. Many were covered in traditional felt, which becomes brittle with age, blisters in hot sun and cracks in cold weather. Ageing felt often fails first at edges and where the roof meets a wall. Garages are often the worst.
Rural homes also face particular challenges: overhanging trees drop leaves that block outlets, moss grows in damp corners, and outbuildings may have been built with minimal falls, leaving water to sit on the surface. Timber decking under a flat roof can rot quietly for years before it becomes obvious, with soft spots, sagging and stains on ceilings below. In older buildings, junctions between flat and pitched roofs, or against stone walls, need careful detailing to stay watertight. Small problems spread quickly.

Flat Roofing for Brandsby homes
When a flat roof needs replacing, we strip the existing covering, inspect and renew damaged decking, and check that water will drain to an outlet or gutter. If not, we adjust the falls using firring. We then install a modern seamless system with new edge trims, upstands and flashings into walls.
For roofs that are still in decent condition, targeted repairs can deal with local splits, failed upstands or blocked outlets. On extensions next to Brandsby's older stone or brick buildings, we pay particular attention to how the new roof meets existing walls so the junction stays dry. Where the flat roof drains into a gutter, we check that too, and you receive photographs of the decking, the new covering and the finished edge details.

Questions from Brandsby homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can you replace the flat roof on an outbuilding or garden room?
Yes. Outbuildings, garden rooms and stores often have simple flat roofs that suffer from neglect. We strip the old covering, check the timber, and fit a new system with proper falls and edge details, so the building stays dry for many years.
What causes a flat roof to fail at the edges?
Edges are where the covering is most exposed to wind and movement. Old felt often lifts or cracks along drip edges and upstands, letting water get behind. Poorly fixed trims and blocked gutters at the edge can make it worse. New trims and well-sealed details solve most edge problems.
Is it worth repairing a flat roof with a few blisters?
Small blisters on an otherwise sound roof can sometimes be cut and repaired. If blisters are widespread, or the felt is cracked and brittle, that usually means the covering is at the end of its life. We will inspect and give you an honest view on repair versus replacement.
Can a new flat roof be fitted against an old stone wall?
Yes, but the junction needs careful detailing. We cut flashings into suitable mortar joints or use other appropriate methods to keep water from running behind the upstand. Getting this detail right is often the difference between a roof that leaks and one that does not.
