The old town
On older roofs, the valleys, flashings and chimneys usually wear out long before the slates or tiles do. Repairing them properly, in lead, keeps an old roof going for years.
At the foot of the Wolds
Pocklington is about 13 miles east of York. We cover the town, Market Weighton and the villages around them, from Barmby Moor to Bishop Wilton.
Pocklington is a market town at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds, with All Saints’ Church, the “Cathedral of the Wolds”, at its heart and a conservation area around its old streets. Around it, the town has grown with new housing on its edges.

Newer houses have their own weak spots: dry verges and ridges that work loose, flat roofs over garages and extensions, and gutters that sag. They’re all small jobs if they’re caught early.

Not usually, if the new roof looks like the old one. The centres of Pocklington and Market Weighton are conservation areas, so if you live in one, or want to change how your roof looks, check with East Riding of Yorkshire Council first. A listed building needs listed building consent for most changes.
