Every service below is available across Wheldrake and the surrounding YO19 postcode area, under one quote and one guarantee.
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.
Ridge Installation (Dry & Mortar)
The ridge is the horizontal cap that closes the top of a pitched roof and controls high-level ventilation.
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 Wheldrake roofs.
Property age, climate exposure and the local material palette produce specific patterns of failure. These are the ones we see most often in Wheldrake and the surrounding YO19 area.
Pantile slippage on older village property
The clay pantile roofs on the older core have seen many decades of frost cycles and nail fatigue. We replace like-for-like in reclaimed pantile.
Storm-lifted tiles on exposed estate housing
The estate housing takes weather off open Derwent Valley land. Displaced concrete interlockers and ridge caps are frequent post-storm call-outs; we re-fix properly.
Failing mortar ridge beds on older roofs
A large share of Wheldrake's traditional roofs still carry original sand-and-cement bedded ridges. Cracked mortar means slow leaks; we re-bed or upgrade to dry-fix to BS 5534.
Chimney stack decay on older village property
Tall stacks weather at the pointing and flaunching. Early repointing avoids the expensive full rebuild if leaks are ignored.
Aging felt flat roofs on rear extensions
Rear kitchen extensions all reach end-of-life at similar times. EPDM or torch-on felt with proper falls solves recurring leaks permanently.
Five steps. No surprises. Same process in Wheldrake 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.
