Roofing & property care in Duggleby
Duggleby is a small village in the Great Wold Valley on the Yorkshire Wolds, east of Malton. It is famous among archaeologists for Duggleby Howe, one of the largest Neolithic round barrows in Britain, which stands just outside the village. The village itself is a quiet farming settlement of brick and chalk-built houses, farmsteads and later homes in a wide, open landscape.
When a roof is near the end of its life, repeated repairs stop making sense. Advanced Property Care carries out full strip and re-roof work for homeowners and landlords across Ryedale, the Wolds and the York area. For a home in Duggleby we inspect the existing roof, explain honestly whether repairs or a new roof is the better choice, and give you a detailed written quote.

Roofs in Duggleby: what we look out for
The Wolds are higher and more exposed than the Vale of York, and Duggleby gets the wind, driving rain and sometimes snow that come with that. Older roofs in the village were often laid without any underlay at all, or with bitumen felt that has since gone brittle and torn at the eaves. Once the felt has failed, wind can lift tiles from below and fine snow and rain can blow into the loft.
Many roofs here are clay pantiles on older farm cottages, with concrete interlocking tiles on post-war and later houses. In both cases, decades of exposure take their toll on battens and fixings. Nails corrode, battens rot at the eaves, and tiles that rely on their own weight or old mortar start to slip in strong gusts. When this happens across a whole roof slope, a re-roof is usually the right answer.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing for Duggleby homes
A new roof in Duggleby starts with stripping the old covering back to the rafters, so we can check the timbers and replace anything that has rotted or been damaged. We then fit a breathable membrane and new treated battens, and lay the new covering in your choice of natural slate, clay pantiles or concrete tiles, with the fixings that modern standards expect for an exposed site.
Ridges and hips can be dry-fixed for a low-maintenance finish, and we renew lead work around chimneys, abutments and valleys at the same time. We photograph each stage, including the timbers once the old roof is off, so you have a full record of what was done and what is now under your tiles.

Questions from Duggleby homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
How do I know if my Duggleby roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
Signs include tiles slipping in several places, felt that is torn or crumbling when seen from the loft, rotten battens, frequent leaks in different spots, and a roof that is visibly uneven. If repairs are becoming a regular cost, a re-roof is often better value. We will give an honest view after inspecting it.
Can I keep my old pantiles when the roof is replaced?
Sometimes. If the tiles are in reasonable condition, they can be carefully stripped, sorted and relaid on new membrane and battens, topped up with reclaimed tiles where needed. Damaged tiles are set aside. This keeps the look of an older property while giving it a sound structure underneath.
What is a breathable membrane and why does it matter?
It is the layer under the tiles that stops wind-driven rain and snow getting into the roof while letting moisture vapour out. Older bitumen felt does not breathe, which can lead to condensation in the loft. A breathable membrane, combined with suitable ventilation, helps keep the roof timbers dry.
Do I need planning permission to re-roof my house?
Replacing a roof with similar materials usually does not need planning permission, but building regulations apply to re-roofing, and listed buildings or properties in conservation areas may have extra requirements. We can explain what generally applies, and it is worth confirming with the local planning authority before work starts.
