Roofing & property care in Swinton
Swinton is a small village on the B1257 just west of Malton, running into Amotherby on one side and close to Malton's edge on the other. It is a mix of stone cottages, farmhouses and later homes, with fields running away towards the Vale of Pickering. This is the Ryedale Swinton, not the town in South Yorkshire or the village of the same name near Masham.
Advanced Property Care carries out roof repairs for homeowners and landlords across Ryedale and the York area. When your roof in Swinton develops a leak or loses tiles, we inspect the roof properly, find where water is getting in, and explain the problem with photos. Our quotes are written and clear, so you understand what we will fix and why before you agree to anything.

Roofs in Swinton: what we look out for
Swinton's older houses are mostly built of local stone under clay pantile roofs, with later homes using concrete tiles or slate. Pantile roofs often show their age through slipped tiles, cracked or missing ridge pointing, and verges where the mortar has dropped out. Valleys on houses that have been extended are another common weak spot, especially when lined with older lead or mortar that has cracked.
Sitting on open ground on the edge of the Vale, the village takes the brunt of westerly gales, and storm damage is one of the most common reasons for roof repairs here. Chimneys are also worth watching: lead flashings and soakers lift, and the mortar fillets used on some older chimneys crack and let water in. Leaks often show up on ceilings some distance from the actual fault, which is why guesswork repairs so often fail.

Roof Repairs for Swinton homes
Our roof repairs in Swinton include replacing slipped, cracked or missing tiles and slates, re-bedding ridges and hips or fitting a dry-fix system, renewing lead flashings and soakers around chimneys and abutments, re-lining or repairing valleys, and fixing leaks around roof windows.
We start with an inspection, and where we can we check from inside the loft to trace water back to its source. Temporary repairs can be made after storm damage to keep water out while a permanent repair is arranged. You receive photos of the problem and the completed repair, and anything else we spot while on the roof is reported and quoted separately. Where reclaimed pantiles are needed to blend with an older roof, we will discuss sourcing them, and we tidy away all old materials when the job is done.

Questions from Swinton homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
My roof only leaks during heavy wind and rain. What causes that?
Leaks that appear only in wind-driven rain often point to slipped tiles, gaps at verges or ridges, or failed flashings where rain is blown sideways under the covering. Old or missing underlay makes this worse. We look for these weak points during the inspection and photograph what we find.
Can valleys be repaired without re-roofing?
Usually, yes. A valley can be stripped out and re-lined with lead or a modern valley system, with the tiles on either side relaid. This is often a cost-effective way to stop a persistent leak without touching the rest of the roof.
Do you repair leaks around Velux-style roof windows?
Yes. Leaks around roof windows often come from damaged or incorrectly fitted flashing kits, blocked gutters at the head of the window, or tiles that have slipped around it. We check each of these and repair or replace the flashing where needed.
How do I know if a tile has slipped?
From the ground you may see a gap in the roof pattern, a tile sitting lower than its neighbours, or pieces of tile in the gutter or garden. Inside, you might notice daylight in the loft or a damp patch. If you are unsure, we can inspect and send you photos.
