Is it worth replacing a 1970s concrete tile roof in Copmanthorpe?

Not automatically. If the tiles are sound and the problem is a slipped tile or a ridge, a repair is enough. When tiles are porous and slipping widely and the original felt has perished, a re-roof is usually better value than repeated repairs. We'll inspect from the loft as well as outside and explain.

Can you replace a flat garage roof in Copmanthorpe?

Yes – we strip old felt, check and replace the deck where needed, and fit EPDM rubber with proper edge trims and outlets. See our flat roofing page for more.

Do you cover Askham Bryan and Askham Richard?

Yes. Both villages have their own conservation areas, and we take the same like-for-like approach on older houses there.

Copmanthorpe's houses and roofs

Copmanthorpe is a village south-west of York, just off the A64. Its historic core is compact: Main Street, Church Lane and Low Green, with St Giles' Church – listed and dating from the twelfth century – at the centre. Older houses here are typically brick, with clay pantile or slate roofs, and larger properties sit in well-treed gardens. Most of the village around the core is later twentieth-century and modern housing: semis, bungalows and detached homes with concrete tiles, dormers, conservatories and flat-roofed garages and extensions.

Copmanthorpe Conservation Area

City of York Council designated the Copmanthorpe Conservation Area in 1978. The council's designation statement describes a compact area around Main Street, St Giles' Church and Low Green, valued for its narrow winding streets and enclaves of space, pockets of rural character and larger properties set in well-treed gardens. If your house is inside the boundary, check with the council before changing roofing materials or chimneys.
