Roofing & property care in Sancton
Sancton lies about two miles south-east of Market Weighton on the A1034, at the foot of the Wolds, with the hamlet of Houghton forming the rest of the parish. The name comes from Old English for 'sand town'. The village has a long religious history: All Saints' Church is Grade II* listed, John Wesley preached here in 1788, and the Wesleyan preachers Robert, Samuel and Thomas Jackson were born in the village.
Advanced Property Care carries out roof repairs in Sancton for homeowners and landlords. Leaks, slipped or broken tiles, failing lead work, worn valleys and loose ridges are all repaired after a proper inspection to find the real cause. You get a clear written quote and photos showing the problem, so there is no guesswork about what is being fixed and why.

Roofs in Sancton: what we look out for
Sancton is a linear village, with older brick cottages and farmhouses along the main road and later houses and bungalows added over the twentieth century. Older roofs tend to be pantile or slate; later ones are mostly concrete tiles. Many have now reached the age where the original fixings and bedding mortar are tired, so slipped tiles, loose ridges and cracked verges are common.
Being on the edge of the Wolds, the village catches wind that drops off the high ground as well as weather sweeping across the low land to the west. Gusts lift tiles whose nails have rusted or whose nibs have broken, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles break down mortar at ridges and chimney stacks. Properties along the main road may also see vibration and grime from passing traffic, and chimney stacks that have stood for a century or more often need repointing and new flashings.

Roof Repairs for Sancton homes
Typical roof repairs in Sancton include replacing slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, re-bedding or dry-fixing ridge and hip tiles, renewing lead flashings at chimneys and abutments, repairing valleys, and putting right storm damage after high winds. Where a chimney is part of the problem, we can also repoint the stack and renew its flaunching.
We match replacement tiles as closely as possible and use proper lead work rather than mastic or cement patches, which tend to fail within a few seasons. If a roof is showing widespread wear, we will tell you honestly whether further repairs are good value or whether replacement should be considered, and show you photos to explain why. Every repair is photographed when complete, so you have a record of the work.

Questions from Sancton homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
I have a single slipped tile. Is it worth calling someone out?
Yes. A single slipped tile can let rain onto the underlay or straight into the loft, and wind can lift neighbouring tiles once there is a gap. It is usually a quick repair, and while we are on the roof we can check for other loose tiles or worn fixings nearby.
Why do roofs on older Sancton houses lose tiles in high winds?
Often because the nails holding the tiles have rusted through or the nibs that hook over the battens have broken. Older roofs may also lack modern clips. Tiles then rely on their weight alone and lift in strong gusts. Refixing or clipping vulnerable areas can help prevent repeat losses.
What is a roof valley and why does it leak?
A valley is the internal angle where two roof slopes meet, collecting water from both. Lined with lead, tiles or a preformed material, it can crack, corrode or become blocked with leaves and moss. Water then backs up under the tiles. Repairs range from clearing and resealing to full relining.
