Roofers in Mapplewell and Staincross

The roofs of Mapplewell and Staincross

Mapplewell and Staincross sit together on the high ground north of Barnsley, two villages that have long since joined up along the main road and the estates between them. The housing is mostly semis and bungalows from the inter-war years through to the 1970s, with newer estates added on the edges, and a small older core of stone and brick terraces around the church and the old village centres.

Bungalows are a feature here and they have a lot of roof for the size of the house, so a re-roof or a gutter and fascia job is bigger than the footprint suggests. The exposed position means the gable ends and ridges take the wind, and dry ridge and verge conversions are among the commonest jobs we do in the area. Full re-roofs on the 1950s and 60s houses are the other, as their original concrete tiles reach the end of their life.
