Roofing & property care in Spaldington
Spaldington lies about three miles north of Howden, just west of the A614, in the flat Vale of York between Howden and Holme-on-Spalding-Moor. It sits only around five metres above sea level, surrounded by farmland, with Boothferry Golf Club, a 1950s water tower at the Spaldington Lane junction and an airfield to the west. The southern part of the parish once held RNAS Howden, the airship station opened in 1916.
Advanced Property Care carries out roof repairs in Spaldington for homeowners and landlords. We inspect before quoting, trace leaks to their real cause and give you a clear written quote with photos. Where a small repair will do the job, we will say so, and if the roof is nearing the end of its life we will explain that honestly too.

Roofs in Spaldington: what we look out for
Spaldington is a small village of farmhouses, cottages and later homes. Older properties typically have brick walls with clay pantile or slate roofs, while newer houses mostly use concrete tiles. On older roofs, common problems include slipped tiles from failed fixings, crumbling verge and ridge mortar, and split lead at chimneys. Farm buildings and conversions add long valleys and junctions where water can find a way in.
The landscape around Spaldington is flat and very open, so wind sweeps across it with little to slow it down; the airfield to the west was approved for wind turbines on appeal in 2011. For roofs, that exposure means storms regularly loosen ridge tiles, lift verge pointing and drive rain into flashings. Hedgerows and shelter belts add leaves to gutters and valleys, leading to overflow that can look like a roof leak. Low-lying ground also keeps the air damp.

Roof Repairs for Spaldington homes
Roof repairs in Spaldington include replacing slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, re-bedding or dry-fixing ridges and hips, renewing lead flashings at chimneys and walls, and repairing valleys that have worn or split. We also fix leaks around roof windows, repair storm damage and secure loose verges at gable ends that catch the wind.
On exposed roofs where ridges keep loosening, we can recommend dry-fix ridge and verge systems that are mechanically secured rather than relying on mortar. Every repair comes with a written explanation of what we found and why we recommend the work, plus before and after photos so you can see what was done. If tiles or slates on an older roof are no longer made, we look for good reclaimed matches so repairs blend in.

Questions from Spaldington homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Our ridge tiles keep coming loose in high winds. What can be done?
On exposed sites, mortar-bedded ridges can crack and loosen repeatedly as the wind works at them. A dry-fix ridge system mechanically fixes each tile to a ridge batten, so it does not rely on mortar alone. We can assess whether this suits your roof and quote for it.
Can you repair roofs on farm buildings and barn conversions?
Yes. We repair roofs on converted barns and outbuildings as well as houses. These often have long valleys, roof windows and complex junctions where old walls meet new work, so we inspect them carefully and explain exactly where the water is getting in.
What should I do immediately after storm damage?
If it is safe, move belongings away from any leak and contain the water. Do not climb onto the roof yourself. Call us to arrange an inspection and temporary protection if needed. We provide photos of the damage and the repair, which may help if you make an insurance claim.
How do I know if my lead flashing needs replacing?
Look for lead that has lifted, split or come away from the wall, and damp patches near chimneys or where roofs meet walls inside. We inspect flashings closely, re-dress lead that can be saved and replace sections that have cracked or thinned beyond repair.
