Roofing & property care in Burnby
Burnby is a small village about two and a half miles south-east of Pocklington, a mile east of the A1079 and part of Hayton parish since 1935. It has the Grade II* listed St Giles' Church, and for around a century it was served by Nunburnholme station on the old York to Beverley railway. Its name is thought to come from Old Norse for a settlement by a spring.
In a village of this size, flat roofs tend to be found on extensions, garages, workshops, garden rooms and converted farm buildings rather than on the main houses. Advanced Property Care repairs and replaces flat roofs in Burnby for homeowners and landlords. We inspect the roof first and find the real cause of any leak, then give you a written quote with photographs, so the choice between repair and replacement is clear before work begins.

Roofs in Burnby: what we look out for
Rural properties around Burnby often have a long history of additions: a single-storey kitchen added in the 1970s, a flat-roofed garage tucked against a gable, a porch, or a former farm building brought into use as a garden room or office. Many of those roofs were finished in felt, asphalt or even corrugated sheeting, and they were rarely given much fall. After thirty or forty years of sun, frost and standing water the covering breaks down.
The village lies where the Wolds slope down towards the Vale of York, and the open countryside gives roofs little protection from wind and driving rain. On a flat roof, wind gets under poorly fixed edges and lifts the covering, while rain finds every crack at upstands and drip trims. Leaves and moss collect at the outlet, water ponds, and before long you have damp patches on ceilings, swollen chipboard decks and mould in the room below.

Flat Roofing for Burnby homes
For smaller faults, such as a split at an upstand, a blister in the felt or a damaged drip edge, we carry out targeted repairs that make the roof watertight without unnecessary cost. Where a roof has failed more widely, we strip it back, replace any rotten decking, and lay a modern seamless system with properly formed upstands, trims and outlets.
On older extensions and outbuildings we often take the opportunity to improve the fall, adding firrings so water drains away rather than sitting on the surface, and making sure the gutter or outlet can cope with what comes off. The result is a roof that suits the building, whether it is a garage, a kitchen extension or a converted barn, and that holds up through East Riding winters.

Questions from Burnby 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 a converted outbuilding in Burnby?
Yes. Converted farm buildings and outbuildings are well suited to modern seamless flat roofing. We check the condition of the deck and joists first, as older structures sometimes need reinforcement or new boards, then lay the new system with suitable edges and outlets so it ties in neatly with the rest of the building.
How do I know if the deck under my flat roof is rotten?
Common signs are a spongy feel underfoot, dips that hold water, damp stains on the ceiling below, or a musty smell inside. We inspect from above and, where possible, from below, and photograph what we find so you can see whether boards need replacing as part of the job.
Is a flat roof suitable for a new garden room or extension?
It can be, provided it is designed with a proper fall, good edge details and enough outlets for the roof area. A flat roof should never be truly flat. If you are planning a new structure, we can advise on the roofing side so it is built to last from the start.
