Roofing & property care in Slingsby
Slingsby lies at the foot of the northern slopes of the Howardian Hills, with the Vale of Pickering opening out to the north and east. The village has a traditional maypole on The Green in front of its Victorian school, the ruins of Slingsby Castle just off the High Street, and All Saints' Church, mainly fifteenth-century in style. Its housing ranges from old stone cottages to newer homes on the edges of the village. John Wesley preached here in 1757.
Replacing a roof is a major job, so it should be based on a clear assessment. Advanced Property Care inspects roofs in Slingsby, tells you honestly whether a re-roof is needed or whether repairs would do, and gives you a clear written quote covering materials, method and lead work. We are straight about it.

Roofs in Slingsby: what we look out for
Older houses in Slingsby are often stone or brick with pantile or slate roofs, many with chimneys and stone gables. Over the years these roofs may have been patched with mismatched tiles, cement-based mortar and repaired lead. Original battens may be worn and nails corroded, and there may be no underlay at all.
Newer homes have concrete tiles and felt underlays that, after several decades, can perish and tear. On open land at the edge of the Vale of Pickering, wind is a regular factor, and roofs with weak fixings or loose ridges show it first. When slipped tiles are a regular occurrence and the loft shows signs of damp, re-roofing is often the most cost-effective long-term solution. Moss on north-facing slopes and blocked gutters add to the wear. On older cottages, chimneys and gable copings may also need attention alongside the roof covering itself.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing for Slingsby homes
A re-roof with us means stripping the old covering, checking and repairing rafters, then fitting a breathable membrane and treated battens. We lay the roof in natural slate, clay pantiles or concrete tiles, with dry-fix or bedded ridges and new lead flashings.
On older Slingsby properties, we can often reuse sound original pantiles or slates, topping up with reclaimed stock. On newer homes, modern tiles can be chosen to suit. We photograph each stage so you have a record of the work under the finished roof. Gutters, fascias and soffits can be renewed while scaffolding is up, saving you a second set of access costs. Before work begins, we agree the materials, the colour of tiles and the ridge detail with you, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Slingsby 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 roof needs replacing rather than repairing?
Signs include frequent slipped tiles, sagging roof lines, torn or missing underlay, widespread cracked tiles and recurring leaks in different places. If repairs are becoming regular, a re-roof is often better value. We will inspect and explain our findings with photos.
Can you keep the look of a traditional cottage when re-roofing?
Yes. We can reuse sound tiles or slates and add reclaimed material to match, keeping the appearance of the roof consistent with the village. If your property is listed or in a sensitive area, it is worth checking with the council before changing materials.
Will you replace the lead around my chimney during a re-roof?
Normally, yes. New lead flashings and soakers are part of a proper re-roof. We will also check the chimney itself while the scaffold is up and discuss any repointing or flaunching work needed. That saves on scaffolding later. The quote shows it clearly.
What happens if it rains during the re-roof?
We plan work around the weather where possible and make sure the roof is protected and watertight at the end of each day. Temporary coverings are used if needed, so your home stays dry throughout. Your loft will be checked at the end of each day.
