Goes and covers roof and gates (10)
I believe the answer is:
turnstiles
'gates' is the definition.
(I know this)
'goes and covers roof' is the wordplay.
'goes' becomes 'turns' ('turn' can be a synonym of 'go').
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'covers roof' becomes 'tiles' (covers a roof in tiles).
'turns'+'tiles'='TURNSTILES'
'and' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
