Roofing & property care in Scagglethorpe
Scagglethorpe is a compact village a few miles east of Malton, set back from the A64 towards Scarborough in the open farmland of the Vale of Pickering. It is a mix of older farmhouses and cottages along the main street and later homes, many of which have gained extensions, garages and sheds over the years.
Those additions are where flat roofs usually turn up, and they are often the first part of a property to leak. Advanced Property Care repairs and replaces flat roofs for homeowners and landlords across Ryedale and the York area. If you have a flat roof in Scagglethorpe that is letting in water or looking tired, we inspect it, find out why it is failing and give you a clear written quote with photos.

Roofs in Scagglethorpe: what we look out for
Scagglethorpe is open to the weather. The flat land of the Vale of Pickering gives wind a long run, and a flat roof with lifting edges or loose trims is especially vulnerable in a gale. Older felt roofs on garages and rear extensions were often laid with very little fall, so rainwater sits in hollows and slowly works through cracks and blisters. Freeze and thaw cycles on exposed farmland make this worse each winter.
Older stone and brick properties in the village often have flat roofs over back kitchens, porches and outbuildings that were added in different decades and joined to the main house with flashings that have since failed. Leaks around these junctions are very common and are easily blamed on the flat roof itself. Agricultural-style outbuildings converted to garages or workshops can also hide tired decking boards under the surface.

Flat Roofing for Scagglethorpe homes
We start a flat roof job in Scagglethorpe by checking the deck as well as the surface, because a new covering laid over soft or rotten boards will not last. Small problems such as a split, a failed upstand or a leaking outlet can often be repaired. Where the roof is at the end of its life, we strip it back and replace the decking where needed.
New flat roofs are finished in a modern seamless system, with the falls improved where possible so water runs straight to the gutter or outlet. We pay particular attention to the edges, upstands and the junction with the house wall, which is where many flat roofs fail. You will get photos of the old roof, the deck and the finished job.

Questions from Scagglethorpe homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can my garage flat roof be repaired, or does it need replacing?
It depends on the condition of the deck and how widespread the damage is. A single split or a failed edge can often be repaired. If the felt is blistered all over, the boards are soft or water has been getting in for a long time, replacement is usually better value. We show you photos so you can see why we are recommending one or the other.
Why does water always pool on my extension roof?
Pooling usually means the roof was laid with too little fall, or the deck has sagged over time. Standing water speeds up wear and finds any weakness in the covering. When we replace a flat roof we can often build in a better fall with firrings or tapered boards so the water drains away properly.
The leak is inside next to the house wall. Is it the flat roof?
Not always. Leaks at the point where an extension meets the house often come from failed lead flashing, cracked render or pointing above the flat roof, or a missing cavity tray. We check the wall and flashing as well as the roof covering so we can find the real source of the water.
Can you replace the flat roof on a converted outbuilding?
Yes. We work on garages, workshops, outbuildings, porches and dormers as well as house extensions. Converted buildings often have older timber decks, so we check the structure carefully and include any necessary boarding or joist repairs in our written quote, so there are no surprises once the old covering is off.
