Lead Work & Flashing in Pocklington
Traditional leadwork suits Pocklington's period slate and pantile roofs far better than modern substitutes, and we detail it to code — proper thicknesses, correct fixings, sensible bay sizes. Bay-window roofs, valleys and chimney flashings on period homes around the town centre all benefit, as do farmhouses out towards Stamford Bridge and Allerthorpe. Worked properly, lead outlasts almost every other material on a roof, which is why we still dress and fit it the traditional way.

Lead Work in Pocklington: local factors
A flashing is only as good as the chase it sits in: cut into a mortar joint, wedged, and pointed up, not smeared across the face of the brick. That detail shows on older brickwork, where a raked-out joint gives a clean horizontal line. Lead is also what a like-for-like repair to a listed building will normally be expected to use, in the correct code for the job.

A dry verge along the gable of a detached home in Pocklington (YO42) had lifted and come away in the wind. We stripped back the loose sections and refitted the verge mechanically — properly clipped and secured — so the edge is watertight again and will hold through the next storm.
