Roofing & property care in Settrington
Settrington is an estate village at the foot of the Wolds, south-east of Malton, with a beck running through it and the grounds of Settrington House close by. Its older houses are mostly built in local stone with clay pantile roofs, and many of them have chimneys, dormers and later additions that add to the number of places a roof can let in water.
Advanced Property Care repairs roofs for homeowners and landlords across Ryedale and around York. When a roof in Settrington starts leaking, we inspect it properly to find the real cause rather than patching the nearest thing to the damp patch. You get a written quote that explains what we found, supported by photos, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Roofs in Settrington: what we look out for
Pantile roofs are well suited to this part of Yorkshire, but they rely on good laps between tiles, sound battens and well-bedded ridges and verges. On older cottages the battens and fixings can be decades old, so tiles start to slip, particularly after high winds blowing in off the Wolds. Mortar at the ridges and verges cracks with frost and age, letting in water at exactly the points that take the most weather.
Chimneys are another common source of leaks in villages like Settrington. Lead flashings lift or split, soakers work loose and the mortar holding the flashing into the stone joints falls out. Water can then track down inside the chimney breast or along a rafter and appear well away from where it entered. Trees around the village and along the beck also mean moss and debris in valleys and gutters.

Roof Repairs for Settrington homes
Our roof repairs in Settrington cover replacing slipped, cracked or missing pantiles and slates, re-bedding or dry-fixing loose ridges and hips, renewing lead flashings, repairing valleys, and sealing around roof windows and chimneys. Where reclaimed pantiles are needed to match an older roof, we will discuss sourcing them.
Storm damage is a common reason for a call. After a bad blow we can make the roof safe and weathertight, then put together a proper repair. On every job we photograph the problem and the finished repair, and if we spot other issues while on the roof, we tell you and quote separately rather than adding work without asking. That way you stay in control of the cost and can plan any larger work for a time that suits you.

Questions from Settrington homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can you match old clay pantiles on my Settrington cottage?
Often, yes. Reclaimed pantiles are usually the best match for an older roof, as new tiles can look noticeably different in colour and profile. We will tell you what is likely to match and how close it will look. If your house is listed or in a conservation area, keeping the original appearance is especially important.
My ceiling is wet but the tiles above look fine. Where is the water coming from?
Water often travels before it shows. It can enter at a chimney flashing, a cracked ridge or a blocked valley and run along a rafter or batten before dripping through. We inspect the roof and, where we can, the loft, to trace the water back to where it is getting in.
Should loose ridge tiles be re-bedded in mortar or dry-fixed?
Both methods can work. Traditional mortar bedding suits many older roofs and is often expected on heritage properties. Dry-fix systems use mechanical fixings and need less maintenance in the long run. We will recommend what suits your roof and explain the reasons in the quote.
Can you make my roof safe straight after a storm?
Where it is safe to work, we can carry out temporary repairs to keep water out, such as refixing loose tiles or covering a damaged area, and then plan a permanent repair. We photograph the damage, which can be helpful if you intend to make an insurance claim.
