"I would highly recommend EJL. I was given Elliott's name from my neighbour who'd had work done. Rebedded and replaced my ridge tiles. Brilliant communication throughout."

Before you book
Pocklington roofing questions
How long does it take you to get to Pocklington from Acomb?
About 25 to 30 minutes from Queenswood Grove, east along the A1079. The road is usually clear outside the morning Hull commute, and the two-hour callback applies, Monday to Saturday daytime.
My house is in the Pocklington conservation area. Does that affect roofing?
The conservation area takes in Market Place, Regent Street, Chapmangate, Pavement and the streets around All Saints church, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council looks after it. Like-for-like repairs are usually fine, but changing roof materials normally needs conservation officer approval, and some Market Place and Regent Street frontages are individually listed. We tell you what applies before any work starts.
What kind of roofs do Pocklington houses have?
A Wolds-edge mix. The Georgian and Victorian core around Market Place is mostly Welsh slate with some clay pantile, the older cottages on Chapmangate and Pavement carry pantile, the Edwardian villas towards Burnby Lane and George Street are slate with lead bay tops, and the newer estates off The Mile and Railway Street are concrete tile. All everyday work for our team.
Does the Wolds chalk geology affect roofing?
Sometimes. Pocklington sits at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds chalk escarpment, and some older properties have chalk-bedded walls or chalk block in their lower courses. Chalk is soft, so hard cement mortar can do more harm than good there. Where it applies we spec a softer lime mortar for repointing and bedding, and we check for it during the free survey on older properties.
Is Pocklington under a different council to York?
Yes. Pocklington comes under East Riding of Yorkshire Council, a different planning authority from the City of York. The roofing standards are the same, only the paperwork differs, and we deal with that as part of the job.
Do you cover the villages around Pocklington?
Yes. Allerthorpe, Bielby, Everingham, Hayton, Melbourne, Seaton Ross, Sutton upon Derwent and the smaller villages on the Wolds edge are all within 30 to 45 minutes of our Acomb base. Surveys and quotes are free there too.
Do you charge to come out to Pocklington?
No. The survey and the written quote are both free, with no call-out fee and no obligation. The fixed quote arrives within 24 hours of the survey and stays valid while you decide.
