Roofing & property care in Pickering
Pickering is a busy market town on the southern edge of the North York Moors, known for its medieval castle, the steam trains of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and the beck that runs through the centre. Around the historic core of stone buildings and pantile roofs there are Victorian terraces, post-war housing and newer estates spreading out towards the A170 and the surrounding farmland.
When a roof keeps leaking in different places, or the tiles are slipping faster than they can be fixed, it is often time for a new roof. Advanced Property Care carries out full strip and re-roof work for homeowners and landlords across Ryedale and the York area. For a home in Pickering we inspect the roof and loft, give an honest recommendation, and provide a detailed written quote.

Roofs in Pickering: what we look out for
Pickering's older houses are mainly built of local limestone with clay pantile roofs, while Victorian terraces often have Welsh slate. Many of these roofs were laid without underlay, or with old bitumen felt that has since perished. Over time battens rot, nails corrode and tiles or slates slip. Slate roofs in particular suffer from nail fatigue, where the fixings rust through and slates slide out of place.
Post-war and later homes typically have concrete interlocking tiles, many now on their original felt and battens. The town's position at the foot of the moors brings heavy rain and strong winds, and water from the hills has caused flooding in the past, which led to a natural flood management scheme upstream. Exposure and age together mean many roofs here are now reaching the end of their useful life.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing for Pickering homes
A new roof in Pickering starts with stripping the old covering down to the rafters. We inspect the timbers and repair or replace anything rotten, then fit a breathable membrane and new treated battens. The new covering can be natural slate, clay pantiles to suit stone properties, or concrete tiles for modern homes, all fixed to current standards.
Ridges and hips can be dry-fixed for low maintenance or bedded traditionally where that suits the building. Lead work around chimneys, abutments and valleys is renewed. If the property is in the conservation area, we will discuss suitable materials. Roof windows can be replaced or reflashed while the roof is open. We photograph each stage so you have a record of the condition of the timbers and the new roof.

Questions from Pickering homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can my Victorian slate roof be re-roofed using the original slates?
Often, yes. If the slates themselves are sound and the problem is nail fatigue or failed battens, they can be carefully stripped, sorted and relaid on new membrane and battens, with matching reclaimed slates to replace damaged ones. This keeps the original appearance while giving the roof a new structure.
How long does a re-roof take on a terraced house?
A typical terraced roof can often be completed in a matter of days to a couple of weeks, depending on its size, access, the amount of timber repair needed and the weather. We give you a realistic timescale in the quote and keep the roof protected throughout.
Will a new roof change how my house looks?
That depends on the materials you choose. We can match the existing style closely, for example by using clay pantiles or natural slate, or suggest alternatives if you want a change. On older properties and in the conservation area, keeping the original appearance is usually the best approach.
What happens with the neighbours on a terrace re-roof?
Re-roofing a terraced or semi-detached house involves careful work at the party wall line, where your roof meets your neighbour's. We make sure the junction is properly sealed. It is also good practice to let your neighbours know before work begins.
