Roofing & property care in Stillington
Stillington lies about ten miles north of York on the B1363, between Sutton-on-the-Forest and Crayke, with Easingwold three and a half miles away. The River Foss passes just beyond its eastern end, and Laurence Sterne, author of Tristram Shandy, was vicar here from 1745 to 1768. St Nicholas' Church dates back to the late fifteenth century. It is a lively village with a pub, a primary school and a range of community groups. Houses range from older cottages and terraces along the main street to newer homes built on the edges of the village.
Advanced Property Care cleans, repairs and replaces gutters and downpipes in Stillington. We check the whole system to find out why it is overflowing or leaking, then give you a written quote with photographs. Call 07338 612197 for a free quote.

Roofs in Stillington: what we look out for
Stillington's main street is lined with older houses and cottages, and some of the older properties may still have cast iron gutters. Cast iron rusts at the joints and brackets, and plastic replacements fitted later often lose their seals. On long runs, even a small drop in fall leaves water standing in the gutter.
The village is surrounded by farmland and mature trees, and the Foss valley adds damp air. Leaves, seeds, moss from roofs and windblown debris build up in gutters each year, and blocked outlets cause overflowing that soaks walls and leads to damp. On newer homes in the village, sagging runs and perished joints are the most common faults we see. Water from an overflowing gutter on these older brick and render walls can lead to damp inside, as well as staining and frost damage to the brickwork. Homes beside the road also pick up grime from passing traffic.

Guttering for Stillington homes
Cleaning removes all debris from gutters and outlets, followed by flushing and checking that each downpipe runs freely to the drain. We look for leaking joints, cracked sections and runs that have lost their fall, and reset brackets where needed. Gutter brackets are checked for corrosion and tightened.
Repairs range from resealing joints to replacing damaged lengths, outlets or downpipes. Where the system is beyond repair, we fit new guttering sized correctly for the roof. On traditional Stillington cottages, we can discuss cast iron or cast-iron-style options that suit the building. Photos are taken before and after, so you can see exactly what was cleared and repaired. If downpipes discharge onto paths or open gullies, we make sure the water is directed away from the walls.

Questions from Stillington homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Our gutters overflow in heavy rain even after cleaning. Why?
The gutter may be too small for the roof area, the outlet may be badly positioned, or the run may have lost its fall. Sometimes a downpipe further down is partly blocked. We check all of these and explain the cause. Larger gutters or an extra outlet can solve persistent overflow.
Is it worth keeping our old cast iron gutters?
Cast iron can last a very long time if maintained. If yours are mostly sound, cleaning, resealing joints and painting may be all they need. If they are badly corroded or cracked, replacement might be better. On older cottages in Stillington, cast iron or a cast-iron-style replacement keeps the character of the house.
What time of year is best for gutter cleaning?
Late autumn, after the leaves have fallen, is usually best, as gutters are then clear for the winter. Homes surrounded by trees may also benefit from a spring clean to remove seeds and blossom. We can set up regular visits so you do not have to remember.
Can you replace just one section of gutter?
Yes, if the rest of the system is sound and the profile is still available. Matching older plastic profiles can occasionally be difficult, in which case an adapter or a slightly longer replacement may be needed. We will explain the options and prices in the quote.
