Roofing & property care in Swinefleet
Swinefleet sits on the south bank of the River Ouse, a few miles downstream of Goole, with the river forming the northern edge of the parish. The village is home to almost 800 people, and its name is tied to the nearby peat works, opened in 1886 as Marshland Works and closed in 2000 after more than a century.
Advanced Property Care provides new roofs and re-roofing in Swinefleet, covering the village from York. We inspect thoroughly before recommending replacement, because many roofs can be repaired. Where a new roof is the right answer, you get a written quote setting out the materials and method, plus photos of the problems we found. We also explain the options for covering materials so you can compare them fairly. Landlords are welcome too.

Roofs in Swinefleet: what we look out for
Swinefleet is surrounded by flat, open farmland, with the Ouse flood bank close by and few trees to break the wind. Older houses along the main street include brick cottages and farmhouses, some with clay pantiles, while later homes and bungalows are usually concrete-tiled. Roofs here are exposed to strong winds along the river and across the fields, which test every fixing and every bit of mortar.
Over decades, that exposure shows. Pantiles slip as their nibs or fixings fail, concrete tiles weather and absorb water, and older bitumen felt underlay tears at the eaves, letting water reach fascias and wall plates. Mortar ridges and verges crack and loosen. Lofts may show damp battens or daylight at the eaves as clear warning signs. When these problems appear across the whole roof rather than in one spot, re-roofing often becomes better value than repeated repairs.

New Roofs & Re-Roofing for Swinefleet homes
A re-roof starts with stripping the old tiles or slates, battens and underlay back to the rafters. We check the timbers and deal with any damage, then fit a breathable membrane and new treated battens set out for the chosen covering.
New concrete tiles, clay tiles or natural slate are laid and fixed to current standards, which call for more mechanical fixing than many older roofs had, an important point on an exposed site. Ridges, hips and verges are finished with dry-fix systems, and lead flashing around chimneys and abutments is renewed. We send progress photos and leave the site tidy, with gutters cleared of any debris from the work. Any timber repairs found once the old roof is off are discussed with you before we carry on.

Questions from Swinefleet homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Are clay pantiles a good choice for a new roof in Swinefleet?
Clay pantiles suit many older properties in the area and are long-lasting when properly fixed. They need a suitable roof pitch and careful detailing at verges and ridges. Concrete tiles are often cheaper and suit newer homes. We will explain the pros and cons for your house and include your preferred option in the quote.
Will re-roofing improve the warmth of my house?
A new roof itself mainly keeps water out, but re-roofing is a good time to look at loft insulation and ventilation. A breathable membrane reduces condensation risk, which helps insulation work properly. Where insulation is thin or missing, adding more while the roof is being replaced can be worthwhile.
Can you reuse my existing tiles?
Sometimes, if they are in good condition and suitable for refixing to modern standards. Reused tiles can help match the look of older properties. However, weathered or porous tiles are not worth reusing, as they will fail sooner. We assess them during the inspection and give you an honest recommendation in the quote.
What happens if it rains during my re-roof?
We plan work around the forecast and only strip as much of the roof as can be made weathertight the same day. If rain arrives unexpectedly, the exposed area is protected with sheeting or membrane. Keeping the house dry during the work is a priority from start to finish.
