Roofing & property care in Skelton
Skelton lies just off the A19 north-west of York. Its centre has been a conservation area since 1973, and St Giles' Church, dating from 1247, is a Grade I listed building that has survived largely unaltered. The village was mainly agricultural until the middle of the 20th century, when its population grew rapidly and new housing developments filled in around the old core.
Advanced Property Care provides roofing and property maintenance for landlords, letting agents, property managers and homeowners in Skelton. Rather than waiting for a tenant to report a leak, our inspections with photo reports show you the condition of the roof, gutters and roofline and what needs doing now, soon or later. We then quote clearly for any planned or reactive work, so decisions can be made quickly and with the facts to hand. Owner-occupiers who simply want a professional check of an older roof are just as welcome.

Roofs in Skelton: what we look out for
Skelton's properties fall broadly into two groups. Around the conservation area there are older brick houses and cottages, some with clay pantiles or slate, chimney stacks and traditional lead work. These need repairs that respect the original materials, and any change in appearance may need checking with the council.
The larger share of homes are 20th and 21st-century houses on estates around the village, including development on the site of the former Skelton Grange. Most have concrete tiles, UPVC or timber roofline and plastic gutters. Their common issues are worn ridge mortar, blocked gutters from garden trees, moss on north-facing slopes and ageing fascias. Being close to the A19 and to York's northern edge, Skelton suits renting to commuters, and for landlords a small fault left unnoticed between tenancies can become an expensive repair. Flat-roofed garages and extensions, common across the estates, also need periodic checks because their coverings age faster than the main roof.

Roofing & Property Maintenance for Skelton homes
Our maintenance service starts with a roof and roofline inspection. We record the condition of tiles or slates, ridges, flashings, valleys, chimneys, gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits, and provide a photo report that sets out what needs doing and how urgently. That gives landlords and agents something clear to plan and budget around.
From there we can carry out planned work such as gutter cleaning, moss removal and minor repairs, and handle reactive call-outs when something goes wrong. We can liaise with tenants for access if you prefer, and every job is documented with photos, which is useful at check-in and check-out and for showing that the property has been looked after. For portfolios with several homes around Skelton and north York, inspections can be grouped to keep things simple for you and your agent.

Questions from Skelton homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
How often should a landlord have a Skelton rental roof inspected?
An annual check is a sensible baseline for most rental homes, ideally in autumn before winter weather. Older properties, homes with heavy tree cover or roofs with a history of leaks may need checking more often. A regular photo record also helps you show the property has been maintained.
Can you send reports directly to my letting agent?
Yes. We can send inspection reports, photos and quotes to whoever manages the property, whether that is you, your agent or a property manager. Just tell us who should receive them and who should approve work, and we will keep everyone informed from the first visit through to completion.
Does a home in Skelton conservation area need special roofing materials?
Repairs in a conservation area should generally match the existing materials and appearance. Like-for-like work is usually straightforward, but changing roof coverings or adding roof windows may need permission. We will flag anything that may need consent, and owners should check with City of York Council where unsure.
What does a planned maintenance visit usually include?
It depends on the property, but common items are clearing gutters and downpipes, removing moss, re-fixing slipped tiles, resealing gutter joints and checking flashings. We agree the scope in advance and photograph everything so you can see what was done.
