Roofing & property care in Wilberfoss
Wilberfoss is an East Riding village on the north side of the A1079, about eight miles east of York city centre. Its Church of St John the Baptist is Grade I listed, and a Benedictine priory once stood just to its north, though nothing of it survives. The village also gave its name to the Wilberfoss family, ancestors of William Wilberforce.
Advanced Property Care provides roofing and property maintenance for landlords, letting agents, property managers and homeowners in Wilberfoss. Good access to York along the A1079 makes the village popular with commuters, and that brings rented homes alongside owner-occupied ones. Our inspections with photo reports show you the condition of a property's roof and roofline, and we quote clearly for planned maintenance and reactive repairs so you can keep on top of things without guesswork.

Roofs in Wilberfoss: what we look out for
Wilberfoss has a mix of older brick houses and cottages near the church and the main street, and a large number of later 20th-century and more recent homes. Older properties may have clay pantiles or slate with chimney stacks and lead flashings, while the newer ones generally have concrete tiles, UPVC roofline and plastic gutters, often with flat-roofed garages or extensions.
The village is set in open, flat countryside, and the main road corridor gives little shelter from wind, so ridges, verges and loose tiles are regular findings after storms. Moss builds up on shaded north-facing slopes, washing into gutters and blocking downpipes. Flat roofs on garages and extensions age faster than the main roof and are often the first source of a leak report from tenants. For landlords, picking these issues up during a routine inspection is far cheaper than reacting after water reaches a ceiling.

Roofing & Property Maintenance for Wilberfoss homes
Our maintenance service starts with an inspection of the roof and roofline, covering tiles or slates, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimneys, flat roofs, gutters, downpipes, fascias and soffits. You receive a photo report setting out what needs doing, how urgently, and what we recommend, which is useful for budgeting and for showing that the property has been maintained.
We then carry out agreed planned work, from gutter clearing and moss removal to minor repairs and roofline maintenance, and handle reactive problems when they arise. We can arrange access with tenants and send reports and quotes to agents or managers. Each visit is photographed, building a record of the property's condition over time. For homeowners who simply want an older roof checked before winter, the same inspection and report are available, with no obligation to go ahead with any work.

Questions from Wilberfoss homeowners
Anything else you would like to know? Call us on 07338 612197 and we will happily talk it through.
Can you inspect several rental properties around Wilberfoss on the same visit?
Yes. If you or your agent manage a number of properties in and around Wilberfoss and the villages along the A1079, inspections can be grouped. Each property gets its own photo report and recommendations, so you can prioritise work across the portfolio.
A tenant has reported a drip in the bedroom. What happens next?
We inspect the roof and loft to trace the source, which might be a slipped tile, a failed flashing, a blocked gutter or condensation. You receive photos and a clear explanation, plus a quote for the repair. If a temporary measure is needed to stop further damage, we will explain it.
Do you work on older listed properties in the village?
We carry out roof repairs and maintenance on older homes, matching existing materials where possible. If a property is listed, changes to its materials or appearance may need consent, so owners should check with East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Like-for-like repairs are generally more straightforward.
Why does the flat roof on my rental's garage keep leaking?
Repeated leaks usually mean the covering has reached the end of its life, the falls are too shallow so water ponds, or the edges and upstands have failed. Patching may help for a while, but replacement is often better value in the long run. We will show you the evidence and explain both options.
