Roofing & property care in Kexby
Kexby lies about six miles east of York on the A1079, beside the River Derwent where it forms the boundary with the East Riding. The village is known for Kexby Old Bridge, built in 1650 and now a scheduled monument, and for its traditional pub. It is a small community, with a population of a little over two hundred, surrounded by farmland and the river meadows.
Advanced Property Care provides new roofs and full re-roofing for homes in and around Kexby. A new roof is a major investment, so we start by inspecting the existing roof and loft, explaining honestly whether repair is still viable, and giving you a written quote that sets out every stage. You will see photos throughout, from stripping the old covering to the finished roof.

Roofs in Kexby: what we look out for
Housing in Kexby is a mix of older brick farmhouses and cottages, often with clay pantile or slate roofs and chimneys, and 20th-century homes with concrete tiles. On older roofs, the common signs that a re-roof is due include widespread slipped slates from corroded nails, pantiles that have cracked or lost their nibs, sagging rooflines where timbers have moved, and no underlay at all beneath the covering.
Later properties often have bitumen felt underlay that has become brittle and torn at the eaves, along with tired battens and failing ridge mortar. The open farmland and river corridor around Kexby give little shelter from strong winds, which test any weakness in a roof. Damp river air also encourages moss on north-facing slopes, which holds moisture and speeds the decay of older tiles. Outbuildings and extensions added over the years often have their own roofs at different pitches, which creates extra junctions to detail properly when re-roofing.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing for Kexby homes
A full re-roof involves stripping the existing roof to the rafters, checking and repairing timbers, then fitting a breathable membrane, treated battens and the new covering. We use dry-fix ridges and hips so there is no mortar to fail, and renew lead flashings at chimneys and abutments as part of the work.
For Kexby's older homes, natural slate or clay pantiles keep the traditional look, and good original tiles can sometimes be salvaged and reused. For newer homes, modern concrete or clay tiles are cost-effective and durable. We will talk through the options, including ventilation and any planning considerations for listed buildings, so you can make an informed choice. The quote lists the materials, the scope and what happens if hidden timber damage is found once the old roof is off.

Questions from Kexby homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
My farmhouse roof sags in the middle. Does that mean it needs replacing?
A sagging roof can be caused by old timbers deflecting over time, heavy replacement tiles, or rot in a purlin or rafter. It does not always mean the whole roof must be replaced, but it should be checked. We look at the timbers from the loft and explain what is happening before suggesting a solution.
Can I keep clay pantiles on a new roof?
Yes. Many older Kexby properties suit clay pantiles, and good-quality originals can sometimes be reused alongside reclaimed or new matching pantiles. Pantiles need the right pitch, battens and fixings, and the underlay should be suitable for them. We will advise on what is achievable for your roof.
How do you protect my home while the roof is stripped?
We strip and re-cover in manageable sections where possible so the roof is not left open, and use temporary protection if weather turns. Our quote explains how the job will be phased. We also check the weather forecast closely when planning the strip.
Will I need planning permission for a new roof in Kexby?
Replacing a roof with similar materials usually does not need planning permission, although building regulations may apply to re-roofing work. Listed buildings and changes to the appearance of a roof are different. If your property is listed, check with City of York Council before work starts.
