Roofers in Penistone
Roofline are roofers for Penistone and the S36 villages, covering Penistone, Thurlstone, Millhouse Green, Oxspring, Hoylandswaine and Thurgoland. Stone slate, Welsh slate and heritage roofing for stone-built homes on the Pennine edge, as well as modern repairs and re-roofs.
The roofs of Penistone
Penistone is a different roofing world from the rest of the borough. It is a market town on the edge of the Pennines, built in local sandstone, with a conservation area at its centre and a ring of stone villages around it. Many of the older roofs are graduated Yorkshire stone slate, laid in diminishing courses, and most of the rest are Welsh slate. The newer estates on the edges of the town have modern tiles.
The weather here is harder than in the valley: more wind, more rain driven horizontally, more frost. Roofs that would last quietly in Wombwell need looking at more often in Thurlstone. Stone slates slip when their pegs fail, ridges and chimneys take a battering from the west, and lead has to be fixed with the wind in mind. It is skilled, satisfying work and we are set up for it.
Wondering what a re-roof costs on a Penistone house? Our roof cost guide explains what drives the price by property type. If the wind has been at your roof, the storm damage and insurance claims guide covers the first 24 hours. And if a quote proposes bedding your ridge in mortar, read why BS 5534 says otherwise.
We cover the whole of S36 within the borough, from Oxspring and Thurgoland up to Millhouse Green, Ingbirchworth and the Langsett moor edge.

Can you source stone slates to match a Penistone roof?
Yes. Reclaimed Yorkshire stone slates come from salvage yards across the Pennines and new-cut stone slates are still quarried in the region. For repairs we match the colour, thickness and course sizes of what is on the roof. For a whole roof we will show you reclaimed and new options and explain the difference in cost and appearance.
My house is in the Penistone conservation area. What can I do to the roof without consent?
Like-for-like repair and maintenance does not normally need consent. Changing the material, for example from stone slate to concrete tile, might, and on a listed building any change to the roof needs listed building consent from Barnsley Council. We work in the conservation area regularly and will tell you what applies before we quote. When in doubt we speak to the council's conservation officer first.
