Roofing & property care in Harlthorpe
Harlthorpe is a hamlet on the A163 between Bubwith and Foggathorpe, about six miles north of Howden. It was once a township of Bubwith parish and has been part of Foggathorpe parish since 1935. In 1823, when it was spelled Harlethorpe, it had fewer than a hundred residents, among them six farmers, a blacksmith and a shoemaker, and it remains a small agricultural place surrounded by open fields.
Rural homes like those in Harlthorpe often carry roofs that have been patched for decades. Advanced Property Care re-roofs houses and cottages here for homeowners and landlords. We inspect first, give you an honest view on whether repairs could still work, and provide a written quote with photos before any work starts. If the roof has years left in it, we will tell you.

Roofs in Harlthorpe: what we look out for
Properties around Harlthorpe are mostly brick farmhouses, cottages and converted farm buildings, with some later homes. Older roofs are typically clay pantile or slate laid directly on battens with no underlay, sometimes with torching mortar on the underside. Over time the battens weaken, nails corrode and tiles slip, and patch repairs with mismatched tiles become common.
The hamlet sits in flat, open country on heavy clay, where the ground stays wet and the air damp. Roofs take wind from every direction and moss grows readily on shaded slopes. Long, exposed roofs on farmhouses and barns suffer wind uplift at ridges and verges. When a roof has reached the stage of constant patching, replacing it with modern membrane, battens and fixings is often the sensible step. Outbuildings with the same old roof construction often show the problems first, giving a useful warning about the main house.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing for Harlthorpe homes
A re-roof in Harlthorpe involves stripping existing coverings and battens, checking and repairing rafters, then fitting breathable membrane, new treated battens and new slate, clay or concrete tiles. Ridges and hips are finished with a dry-fix system, verges are secured against wind, and lead work at chimneys and walls is renewed so the details match the quality of the new roof.
For traditional farmhouses and cottages, clay pantiles keep the character of the building, while concrete tiles can suit later homes. Ventilation is planned in so the loft stays dry. Photos at each stage show the condition of the timbers and the new roof build-up, giving you a record for the future. If the existing tiles are worth saving, we can sort and reuse the best of them, topping up with matching reclaimed or new tiles.

Questions from Harlthorpe homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can a re-roof include repairs to rotten rafters?
Yes. Once the old roof is stripped, we inspect the rafters and repair or replace any rotten or damaged timbers before fitting the new roof. Any timber work is explained to you and photographed, so you can see why it was needed before it disappears under the new membrane.
Should I use clay pantiles or concrete tiles on my farmhouse?
Clay pantiles suit traditional brick farmhouses and cottages and keep the look of the countryside, while concrete tiles are durable and cost-effective for later homes. If the building is listed, materials may need approval from the council. We talk through the options when we quote.
What happens if it rains during a re-roof?
We plan work around the forecast, strip only as much as can be covered the same day, and make sure the roof is protected at the end of each day and whenever the weather turns. Once the breathable membrane is fitted it also provides a good level of protection.
Can you re-roof a barn conversion?
Yes. Barn conversions often have large roof areas, roof windows and valleys. We re-roof these using the same approach as houses, paying particular attention to details around windows, junctions with original walls and ventilation of any rooms built into the roof space.
