Roofing & property care in Copmanthorpe
Copmanthorpe is a large village just inside the A64 south-west of York. It grew rapidly after the Second World War, from around a thousand people in 1961 to more than four thousand by the turn of the century, and the old core of Main Street, Church Street and Low Green has been a conservation area since 1978. The A64 bypass, built in the mid-1970s, took through traffic away from the village.
That growth means a great many homes in Copmanthorpe have roofs of a similar age, and many are now at the point where repairs are no longer the most economical answer. Advanced Property Care carries out full re-roofs in tile and slate. We inspect first and tell you honestly whether a repair would do, then provide a clear written quote and photos.

Roofs in Copmanthorpe: what we look out for
Houses built in Copmanthorpe during the 1960s and 1970s were typically roofed with interlocking concrete tiles over bitumen felt. Several decades on, that felt often becomes brittle near the eaves and sags between rafters, so any water that gets past the tiles drips onto the insulation instead of running into the gutter. Tile nibs and nails weaken with age, ridges were bedded in mortar that has since cracked, and battens can be soft where moisture has been present.
Older houses around St Giles' Church and the conservation area streets are a different matter, often with clay pantile or slate and more complex details at chimneys and abutments. Here re-roofing needs care to keep the village's character, reusing sound materials or matching them where possible. Across the village, the open ground towards the A64 and the fields beyond means roofs feel the force of westerly winds.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing for Copmanthorpe homes
A re-roof starts with stripping the old tiles, battens and felt down to the rafters, so the timbers can be checked and any damaged sections repaired. We then lay a breathable membrane, fix new treated battens to the correct gauge, and install the new covering, whether concrete tiles, clay tiles or natural slate. Any rafters that have sagged or split are strengthened before work continues.
Ridges and hips are finished with a dry-fix system or traditional bedding as appropriate, verges are secured, and new lead is dressed at chimneys, abutments and valleys. Gutters, fascias and soffits can be renewed at the same time so the whole roofline is in good order. You get photographs at each stage, so you can see what has gone into the roof beneath the tiles.

Questions from Copmanthorpe homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
How do I know whether my Copmanthorpe roof needs replacing or just repairing?
Signs that point towards a re-roof include widespread slipped or cracked tiles, felt that has torn or perished, soft battens and repeated leaks in different places. A few isolated faults are usually better repaired. We inspect from outside and, where possible, the loft, then explain what we found with photos before recommending either option.
Can I change from concrete tiles to slate when re-roofing?
Often, yes, but the roof structure has to be suitable for the weight and pitch of the new covering, and in the conservation area the change in appearance may need consent. Slate is generally lighter than concrete tile, which helps. We will check the timbers and advise on what is practical for your house.
Do we need to move out during a re-roof?
Not normally. The work is carried out from scaffolding and the roof is kept weathertight each day with membrane. There will be some noise and dust in the loft, so we suggest covering or moving stored items. We will talk you through the sequence of work before starting.
Does a new roof need Building Regulations approval?
Replacing more than a quarter of a roof's covering generally counts as notifiable work, and there are requirements around insulation and structure. The exact position depends on the project, so we will explain what applies to your re-roof and how it is dealt with when we provide the quote.
