Every service below is available across Millington and the surrounding YO42 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.
Tile, Batten & Membrane Replacement
Roof tiles sit on horizontal timber battens, which sit on a breathable underlay membrane, which sits on the rafters.
Ridge Installation (Dry & Mortar)
The ridge is the horizontal cap that closes the top of a pitched roof and controls high-level ventilation.
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.
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.

What actually goes wrong on Millington roofs.
Property age, climate exposure and the local material palette produce specific patterns of failure. These are the ones we see most often in Millington and the surrounding YO42 area.
Pantile slippage on exposed Wolds property
Cottages and farmhouses sitting exposed to weather off the Wolds take steady pantile loss over the years. We replace like-for-like in reclaimed clay pantile.
Stone-tiled roof decline on Wolds farmhouses
Stone-tiled roofs need specialist stripping, sorting and re-laying, different from a standard domestic re-roof. We carry this out with proper batten and membrane upgrades underneath.
Failing mortar ridges on traditional roofs
Many older roofs still carry original bedded ridges. Cracked mortar means slow leaks; we re-bed or upgrade to dry-fix to BS 5534.
Chimney stack weathering
Tall stacks on older property weather at the pointing and flaunching. Early repointing avoids expensive full rebuild.
Complex lead detailing on agricultural buildings
Older outbuildings carry complex lead valleys and abutments that fail from thermal movement. We renew in Code 4/5 lead to Lead Sheet Association standards.
Five steps. No surprises. Same process in Millington 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.
