Roofing & property care in Husthwaite
Husthwaite lies about two and a half miles north of Easingwold, with Coxwold and Carlton Husthwaite close by and Elphin Beck running north of the village. St Nicholas' Church dates from the twelfth century and is Grade II* listed, and the stained glass artist William Peckitt was born here in 1731. The village has a primary school and a strong sense of community. Baxby Manor, on the edge of the parish, has a timber-framed core encased in sandstone, and several cottages in the village share a similar history.

Roofs in Husthwaite: what we look out for
Many of Husthwaite's older buildings are built of sandstone with pantile roofs, and some have a much older timber-framed core. Black Bull Cottage, for example, has close-studded timber framing on its upper storey. Pantile roofs like these often have no underlay, or a later felt that has perished, so a single slipped or cracked tile can let water straight into the roof space.
Open farmland surrounds the village on most sides, and wind sweeping across it loosens ridge tiles and lifts verge tiles. Traditional mortar bedding and pointing erode, and pantiles move as their nibs wear or battens soften. Newer homes in and around the village have concrete tiles, where damage after storms and cracked ridge mortar are the most common issues. At least one older house in the village has a Westmorland slate roof, and slates of this kind need matching with care.

Roof Repairs for Husthwaite homes
Typical repairs include replacing slipped or broken pantiles, slates and concrete tiles, re-bedding or dry-fixing ridges and hips, renewing lead flashings and soakers at chimneys and abutments, repairing valleys, and pointing verges. When a leak is reported, we trace it back to its true source rather than simply patching where water appears. Many leaks around chimneys come from mortar fillets that have cracked away from the stack, and we often recommend replacing these with lead.
On older buildings in Husthwaite, we use matching reclaimed pantiles and appropriate mortars, so repairs sit naturally alongside the rest of the roof. Storm damage can be made watertight quickly, followed by a full repair. Every job is photographed so you can see the problem and the finished work.

Questions from Husthwaite homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Our pantile roof has no felt underneath. Is that a problem?
Many older pantile roofs were built without underlay and have kept the weather out for a long time, but they rely entirely on the tiles and pointing. That makes them more vulnerable to wind-driven rain and snow. Repairs can keep them sound, and if the roof needs relaying, adding a breathable membrane is usually worthwhile.
Can you repair the roof of a timber-framed cottage?
Yes, but with care. Older timber-framed buildings move differently from modern houses, and the roof structure may be irregular. We use suitable materials and avoid anything that traps moisture against old timber. If the building is listed, we will advise checking with the council before carrying out changes beyond like-for-like repairs.
How do I know if my ridge tiles need attention?
Signs include cracked or missing mortar along the ridge, tiles that look uneven or rock in the wind, and bits of mortar in the gutters. Loose ridge tiles can be blown off in a gale. We can re-bed them traditionally or fit a mechanical dry-fix system, depending on the property.
Do you repair storm damage quickly?
We aim to make roofs watertight as soon as possible after storm damage, with a temporary cover if needed, followed by a permanent repair. We provide photos and a written description of the damage and repairs, which can help if you are making an insurance claim.
