Roofing & property care in Bubwith
Bubwith sits on the east bank of the River Derwent on the A163 between Selby and Market Weighton. Its three-arched limestone bridge, built in 1798 with extra flood arches, replaced a ferry described at the time as dangerous and inconvenient. All Saints Church, largely medieval and built of white Tadcaster stone, is Grade I listed. The parish also includes Breighton, Gunby and Willitoft.
Within reach of both York and Selby, Bubwith has plenty of homes with extensions, garages and dormers finished in flat roofs. Advanced Property Care repairs and replaces flat roofs in Bubwith for homeowners and landlords. We inspect first, find out why water is getting in or sitting on the roof, and give you a written quote with photos so you can see the problem for yourself. We also cover the surrounding parish, including Gunby and Willitoft.

Roofs in Bubwith: what we look out for
Housing in Bubwith includes older brick cottages near the church and the main road, with post-war and later estates around them. Many homes have single-storey kitchen extensions, garages or porches with flat roofs, often finished in mineral felt. Felt roofs tend to blister, crack and lift at the seams with age, and roofs built with shallow falls allow water to pond for days after rain.
The Derwent valley is low and open, with wet ground and flood meadows nearby, so the air is often damp and moss and algae grow readily on flat roof surfaces. Leaves from village trees collect around outlets and in gutters, holding water on the roof. Wind across the flat landscape lifts loose edge trims, and the joint where a flat roof meets the house wall is a frequent source of leaks. Garage roofs at the back of gardens are often the worst affected because they sit under trees and rarely get looked at.

Flat Roofing for Bubwith homes
For flat roofs in Bubwith we offer repairs where the existing roof is sound and full replacement where it has failed. Replacement involves stripping the old covering, replacing any soft or rotten decking, improving the falls so water drains to the outlet, then laying a modern seamless system with secure edge details and properly formed upstands at walls.
We check gutters and outlets so water leaves the roof freely and pay close attention to wall abutments and flashings. For dormer and bay roofs, we look at the cheeks, windows and junctions as well as the roof itself. Photos show the roof before, during and after work, including the parts covered up when the job is done. We can also replace rotten fascia boards and gutters around the flat roof edge while we are there, so the whole detail is renewed together.

Questions from Bubwith homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
My garage roof in Bubwith has moss growing on it. Is that a problem?
Moss on a flat roof holds water and can block outlets, speeding up wear on the covering. It often signals that water is ponding or that the roof is shaded and staying damp. We can clear it and check whether the roof underneath needs repair or full replacement.
Can you improve the drainage on an existing flat roof?
When replacing a flat roof, we can add tapered insulation or firring strips to create proper falls towards the outlet. On a sound roof, we can sometimes improve outlets, gutters and edge details instead. We will explain what is realistically achievable for your particular roof.
How do I know if the deck under my flat roof is rotten?
Signs include a spongy or uneven feel underfoot, sagging areas that hold water, and stains or mould on the ceiling below. We check the deck during inspection and again when stripping, replacing any damaged boards before the new roof goes down and photographing what we find.
Can you replace a flat roof on a dormer?
Yes. Dormer roofs need careful detailing around the edges, cheeks and windows because they sit high and catch the weather. We strip and replace the covering, check the surrounding junctions for leaks and make sure water is directed safely off the dormer onto the main roof.
