Roof Repairs in Selby
Roof repair covers everything from replacing a single cracked tile to rebuilding a valley, re-bedding a ridge or tracing an intermittent leak. Done properly it means diagnosing the actual cause, not just patching the symptom, and using materials that match the existing roof.
New Roofs in Selby
A full new roof means stripping the existing covering back to the structural timbers, replacing the membrane and battens, upgrading insulation and ventilation where needed, and re-tiling or re-slating with new materials. It's the point where a roof stops being patched and starts protecting your home for another lifetime.
Flat Roofs in Selby
A flat roof installation covers the removal of the failing covering, replacement of any rotten deck, upgrade of insulation to current Building Regs, and installation of a modern single-ply, liquid or fibreglass membrane. Detailed correctly at upstands, outlets and flashings, a modern flat roof outlasts every three-layer felt roof of the 1980s combined.
Flat Roof Repairs in Selby
Flat roof repair means fixing the specific failure mode without disturbing the sound membrane around it. That could be a targeted patch, a re-lapped seam, a new outlet, a reinforced upstand, or a decision to replace, because sometimes patching is the more expensive answer.
Chimney Stacks in Selby
Chimney stack work covers everything above roof line: rebuilds where the brickwork has deteriorated, full repointing where the mortar has failed, new lead flashings at the abutment, replacement flaunching around the pots, and new cowls, caps or gas terminals.
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Selby
Fascias and soffits form the visible eaves detail below your roof line, the fascia is the vertical board carrying the guttering, the soffit is the horizontal board underneath, and the bargeboard is the fascia's equivalent along the gable. Together with the guttering system they manage all rainwater running off the roof.

Common Selby roof problems
What we see on Selby roofs.
Local property types, climate and building age combine to make these the issues we're called out to most often across Selby.
Slipped tiles after Vale-of-York winds
The Selby Vale takes strong westerly and south-westerly winds. Mortar-bedded ridges and un-clipped tiles lift, and repairs stack up if left.
Chimney breakdown on Abbey-side terraces
Selby's older stock has tall original stacks. Flaunching, pointing and lead flashings all wear at different rates, full stack refurbishment is the common fix.
Failing felt on estate extensions
Barlby, Brayton and Riccall estates have thousands of felt extension roofs from the 1970s–90s. Ponding, blistering and splitting are near-universal at that age.
Overflowing gutters into fascias and rafter ends
Old, sagged UPVC guttering on inter-war semis overflows in heavy rain. Water then rots fascia boards and rafter ends, full guttering upgrades solve it in a day.
