Local roofers on Dunnington doorsteps, same-day response.
Traditional pantile cottages on the main village street, 1960s-80s estate housing, and modern developments on the edge of the village, Goliath Roofing covers Dunnington and every YO19 hamlet. Free inspections, fixed prices, and the fastest response window in our coverage area.
Roofing you can actually rely on in Dunnington.
Dunnington sits just east of York and is one of the closest villages to our regular routes. That proximity matters, response times here are shorter than anywhere else in our coverage. The village itself carries traditional pantile cottages along the older streets alongside 1960s-80s estate housing and newer developments; the outlying YO19 hamlets carry a mix of pantile farmhouses and modern property.
On our doorstep, Dunnington sits inside the fastest response window in our coverage area.

Every service below is available across Dunnington and the surrounding YO19 postcode area, under one quote and one guarantee.
Roofing (All Services)
General roofing covers the full range of pitched and flat roof work we carry out across York and North Yorkshire, from small repairs to complete re-roofs, chimney work, lead flashing, ridge systems, inspections and emergency response.
Roof Leak Repair
Roof leak repair covers everything from a single slipped tile letting rain into the loft, to a failed lead flashing sending water down a chimney breast, to a split flat roof soaking a rear extension.
Tile, Batten & Membrane Replacement
Roof tiles sit on horizontal timber battens, which sit on a breathable underlay membrane, which sits on the rafters.
Flat Roof Replacement & Repair
Flat roofing covers everything from a small back-addition extension to a full commercial deck: single-ply membranes, high-performance felt systems and liquid-applied coatings.
Chimney Repair & Repointing
Chimney repair covers everything from repointing loose brick joints, renewing the flaunching (the mortar cap that beds the pots), replacing failed pots, rebuilding the top courses of a spalled or leaning stack, and renewing the lead flashing where it meets the roof.
Lead Flashing Install & Repair
Lead flashing is the traditional and still-best material for weathering the junctions of a pitched roof, around chimneys, at abutments with walls, in valley gutters, and to skylights.

What actually goes wrong on Dunnington roofs.
Property age, climate exposure and the local material palette produce specific patterns of failure. These are the ones we see most often in Dunnington and the surrounding YO19 area.
Pantile slippage on older village cottages
Traditional pantile cottages along Common Road and Church Street have seen decades of frost cycles and nail fatigue. We replace like-for-like in reclaimed clay pantile to preserve village character.
Aging felt flat roofs on 1970s-90s extensions
Rear kitchen extensions across the 1960s-80s estates in Dunnington all date from a similar era and are reaching end-of-life together. EPDM or torch-on felt replacement with proper falls resolves recurring leaks.
Chimney stack decay on older village property
Chimney stacks on the older village terraces and cottages weather at the pointing and flaunching. Targeted repair avoids the expensive full rebuild that follows if leaks are ignored.
Lead flashing failure on estate housing
Bay windows and porch roofs on the 1960s-80s estates often have original lead flashing that has split or lifted. We renew in Code 4/5 lead rather than defaulting to mastic patches.
Storm damage on exposed village edge
Dunnington's position east of York means it takes weather off the flat land beyond. Storm-lifted tiles and displaced ridge caps are frequent emergency calls, our proximity means fastest possible response.
Five steps. No surprises. Same process in Dunnington as anywhere else.
Free Inspection
We attend the property, physically get on the roof where safe, and take photographs of every relevant defect. No sales pitch, a clear read of what's actually happening up there.
Written Diagnosis
You receive a plain-English breakdown of what's failed, why it's failed, and the options for putting it right. No jargon, no scare tactics.
Fixed-Price Quote
One price in writing. No day rates, no timesheets, no creeping scope. What we quote is what you pay, even if the job takes longer than expected.
Scheduled Works
A firm start date and a clear plan of works. Larger jobs run on stage payments; smaller jobs are paid on completion. Bank transfer or cash.
Handover & Guarantee
Site cleared, materials removed, photographs of the completed work supplied, and your written workmanship guarantee issued on the day of completion.
