Roofing & property care in Foggathorpe
Foggathorpe is a small village on the A163, around nine miles east of Selby and eight miles west of Market Weighton. Its parish also includes Laytham, Harlthorpe and Gribthorpe. It has a pub, a post office and a nearby holiday park, and it even gives its name to a soil type: the Foggathorpe series, a poorly drained clay laid down by ancient glacial lakes. The village had its own railway station until 1954.
Advanced Property Care provides roofing and property maintenance in Foggathorpe for landlords, letting agents, property managers and homeowners. We inspect properties and send photo reports, carry out planned maintenance before small problems grow, and handle reactive repairs when something goes wrong. Every piece of work starts with a clear written quote, so nothing is done without your agreement.

Roofs in Foggathorpe: what we look out for
Homes in and around Foggathorpe include brick cottages, farmhouses, converted outbuildings and later houses and bungalows. Older roofs are often clay pantile or slate, with mortar ridges and verges that need re-pointing over time. Many rural properties also have outbuildings, extensions and garages with flat or low-pitched roofs, each adding gutters, flashings and joints to keep an eye on.
That heavy, poorly drained clay means the ground stays wet and the local air is often damp, which encourages moss on roofs and green algae on rooflines. The countryside around the A163 is flat and open, exposing roofs to strong winds. For landlords, common problems are blocked gutters causing damp walls, loose ridges after storms, and slow leaks that tenants notice only once ceilings stain. Properties set back from the road, behind hedges and trees, often need gutters cleared more than once a year.

Roofing & Property Maintenance for Foggathorpe homes
Our maintenance service in Foggathorpe begins with an inspection of roofs, chimneys, gutters, downpipes and roofline, written up in a photo report that sets out priorities clearly. From there we can schedule gutter cleaning, moss treatment, pointing and flashing repairs, and roofline upkeep at intervals that suit the property and how it is used.
When a tenant reports a leak or storm damage, we attend, find the cause and repair it, sending you photos and a summary. For agents and managers with several properties, consistent reports make it easier to plan budgets and keep records of work done. Homeowners use the same service for peace of mind on older roofs. Where a property changes hands or tenants, a one-off condition report with photos is also available.

Questions from Foggathorpe homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can you maintain holiday lets and second homes near Foggathorpe?
Yes. Properties that stand empty for periods benefit from regular checks, because leaks and blocked gutters can go unnoticed for weeks. We can inspect, carry out agreed maintenance and send photo reports, so you know the condition of the roof without having to visit between bookings.
What is included in planned maintenance?
It depends on the property, but typically includes gutter and downpipe clearing, checking and refixing loose tiles or slates, moss treatment, and inspecting flashings, ridges and the roofline. We agree the scope and timing with you in writing, so you know what each visit covers.
Do you provide reports landlords can keep on file?
Yes. Each inspection comes with photos and a written summary of condition and recommendations. Many landlords and agents keep these with their property records, as they show when the roof was checked, what was found and what action was taken afterwards.
Can you look at outbuildings as well as the main house?
Yes. Barns, garages, stables and outbuildings often have their own roof and gutter issues, and water from them can still cause damp against the house. We can include them in inspections and maintenance plans so the whole property is covered by one schedule.
