Roofing & property care in Hotham
Hotham is a small village about four miles south of Market Weighton, close to North Cave and the eastern end of the M62. It has the Grade II* listed St Oswald's Church, a village hall and the Hotham Arms. The village gave its name to the Hotham family, whose members included Sir John Hotham, Governor of Hull at the start of the Civil War, and Hotham Hall stands in parkland nearby.
Advanced Property Care repairs and replaces flat roofs in Hotham for homeowners and landlords. Flat roofs on extensions, garages, porches, dormers and outbuildings tend to fail at their edges and junctions first, so we inspect carefully to find the real source of a leak before recommending repair or replacement. You get a clear written quote and photographs, so you can see the problem and the solution for yourself.

Roofs in Hotham: what we look out for
Hotham is a village of brick houses and cottages, farm buildings and later homes, many of which have been extended. Single-storey rear extensions, garages and porches built from the 1960s onwards were commonly finished with felt or asphalt, often laid with very little fall. Those roofs are now well past their expected life, and the typical signs are cracked or crazed surfaces, blisters, lifted edges and ceilings below with damp stains.
The village sits where the southern Wolds give way to lower ground towards the Humber, and the parkland and gardens around Hotham are well wooded. Leaves and twigs collect on flat roofs and in outlets, blocking them so rain pools on the surface. Westerly winds blowing across open land work at loose edges and lift felt at verges, and rain running down house walls finds its way behind poorly sealed upstands. Once water reaches the deck, chipboard or plywood softens and the problem grows.

Flat Roofing for Hotham homes
Where damage is limited to a small area, such as a failed upstand, a cracked joint or a damaged drip trim, a targeted repair can make the roof watertight. If the covering has failed widely or the deck is soft, we recommend replacement: stripping the old roof, renewing damaged decking and laying a modern seamless system.
New flat roofs are finished with properly formed upstands, edge trims and outlets, and a new flashing where the roof meets the house wall. We pay attention to the fall, adding firrings or tapered boards where water has been ponding, and make sure gutters or outlets can take the water away. The result is a flat roof that suits the building, from a single garage to a kitchen extension or dormer, and that copes with the wet, windy weather off the Wolds.

Questions from Hotham homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
My extension roof has been patched several times and still leaks. What now?
Repeated patching usually means the covering has reached the end of its life, or the leak is at a junction rather than in the main surface. We inspect the whole roof, including upstands and the wall abutment, and show you photos. If the deck is soft or the covering has failed widely, replacement is usually the most cost-effective option.
Can a garage flat roof be replaced without replacing the whole structure?
In most cases, yes. We strip the old covering, check the joists and deck, replace any rotten boards and lay a new seamless roof. If the joists themselves have decayed or the garage walls have moved, we will explain what we found and what would be needed before going further.
Why does my flat roof leak only when it is windy and raining?
Wind-driven rain often exposes weak points at edges, trims and upstands, or around the junction with the main house wall. Rain is pushed up and under laps or behind flashings that cope fine in still conditions. Inspecting these details usually finds the cause, and a repair to the edge or abutment often solves it.
