Barnsley builders and roofers, run by the Manterfield family since the early 80s.

Our work is split into two trades, building and roofing, and both are overseen by our managing director Craig Manterfield, who is hands on in every job. Extensions, loft conversions, re-roofs and repairs across Barnsley, Wakefield and Sheffield.

Two trades under one roof

Building and roofing are the two sides of the business, and you get both from one firm. Known throughout Yorkshire as a well qualified, professionally run business, we work on any size of project, from small home repairs to large commercial jobs.

Building

Our bricklayers are Apprentice trained and qualified, and have been with us a long time. They work in new and traditional methods, on everything from simple boundary walls to new builds, and a large part of our work is extensions that change existing homes to suit modern living.

  • Single and multi-storey extensions
  • Loft and garage conversions
  • Basement and cellar conversions
  • House renovations and alterations
  • Joinery and windows
  • Ground works, Block Paving and Flagging
  • New build projects and boundary walls

In Rothwell we took out the existing rear wall to make a large family kitchen, then fitted an 8.5m length of bi-fold doors and a vaulted roof with Velux windows to keep the whole room full of light.

Roofing

We specialise in all aspects of roofing, from a simple gutter clean through to a full re-roof. We repair, or supply and fit new, wooden or plastic fascias, soffits and guttering in white, black, wood effect and other colours.

  • Roof repairs
  • Gutter repairs
  • Re-pointing and re-bedding ridge and hip tiles
  • Full re-roofs
  • Velux windows
  • Dormer windows, new or re-clad
  • Leadwork chimneys, valleys and bays
  • Flat roofs
  • Roof ventilation
  • Repair damaged roof rafters and purlins

A full re-roof means stripping the old slates or tiles, battens and felt, then a breathable felt under tanalised timber battens to fix the new slates or tiles, restoring your roof to its former glory.

Loft Conversions

A loft conversion brings both of our trades together in one project, and if you need extra space it is a far more cost effective option than moving home. We can turn your attic into an extra bedroom, bathroom, office or storage, with a dormer for head height and light, a hip to gable conversion, or Velux windows (centre pivot, top hung or electric).

Already have a loft that needs updating, or a dormer that needs recladding? We specialise in attic renovations too, with rigid board insulation such as Kingspan or Celotex.

Everything else we build

Our team of expert tradesmen can take on just about any general building job, for your home or your business, big or small.

Extensions

Single and multi-storey

Whether your new extension needs to give you an extra bedroom, bathroom, storage, office or kitchen space, we are here to help. The cost of extending is often far less than the financial and emotional cost of moving house. From an initial site visit we can help and advise you every step of the way: we can appoint an architect if you don't already have plans, or simply work from ones you supply.

Renovations

Internal alterations

A dependable, quality one-stop-shop for your renovation. We have the qualified and experienced tradesmen your project needs, each in their own field, and we take care of every part of the refurbishment so you have peace of mind as well as a great result. Improvements and refurbishments for commercial and residential properties.

Cellar and basement conversions

Cellar/Basement conversions

Not every cellar can be converted, because of ceiling height or the depth of the existing footings, but we will give you honest professional advice. If your cellar is suitable we can tank it and open up the unused space as an office, gym, cinema room or playroom. We liaise with building control to make sure of full compliance with building and fire regulations, and project manage the whole conversion: ground works and excavation, building work, windows, brick work, plumbing, joinery, electrics and plastering.

Commercial

Offices, warehouses, workplaces

Need extra office space, an extension to a warehouse, or a modernised workplace? Extra parking or landscaping? We keep disruption to your business to a minimum, so you can keep working while we work. Fast, reliable and professional.

Landscaping and ground works

Stainborough external work

Decking, patios, walling, flagging, rockeries, even lighting and water features. We supply and fit all types of patio, including Granite setts, Indian stone, Limestone, Block paving and York stone, and take on all ground works: laying drains, replacing gullies, and forming patios, drives and paths.

Storm Damage comes first

We prioritise storm damage work. We will visit, give you a typed, detailed quotation within the hour, and often carry out the repairs the same day. In the storms of early December 2013 we quoted for and repaired over 60 homes within a week, working around the clock so our customers were safe before Christmas.

Over the years we have worked on every kind of roof: outbuildings, hotels, shops, businesses, all types of homes and even churches.

An extension built in nineteen working days

Our extension took approx 3 weeks. We are so pleased with it. The lads worked hard and are so helpful. We highly recommend Manterfields and wouldn't hesitate in using again. Thank you Craig and Andrea for everything.

A family firm since the early 80s

Manterfield Builders was started in the early 80s by Craig's father, Colin Manterfield. Craig joined the company in 1989, straight from school. A lot has changed over the decades, but the core values have stayed the same: we are still serving local people with high quality, cost effective workmanship.

Today Craig Manterfield is our managing director and runs the construction and roofing work himself. Our site manager Wayne O'Donnell became a director in 2020 after many years with the company. We are a friendly, family run business with over 30 years in the trade, and we take pride in a polite, courteous workforce who treat your home with respect.

Finding a reliable, hard working, reasonably priced builder in Barnsley can be a challenge. That's why, once people find us, they tend to stay with us.

Our guiding principles

  • Proactive

    We overcome challenges and find sustainable solutions.

  • Professional

    We behave in a professional manner at all times.

  • Pride

    We take pride in all we do and who we are.

  • Passion

    We have a passion for safely delivering quality workmanship.

Our pledge to you

We are working hard to change the bad reputation general builders have. A firm that arrives when we say we will, and keeps you updated on your project all the way through.

  • Whatever you want doing, we'll provide you a free, no obligation quote
  • Everything gets done by a team of skilled and highly trained professionals
  • You're assured of a professional, speedy and reliable service from beginning to end
  • We'll be available for discussion and advice throughout the building process
  • We'll leave a clean and efficient building site when we're done

Talk to someone we've built for

After we have given you a quotation, we can find a past similar project to the one you are considering and put you in touch with that customer directly, so you can ask them anything. Or come and see one of our sites while the work is in progress, talk to the customer and see how we work.

You can also email us your plans. In many cases we can quote from the plans alone, or we can arrange a site visit if you prefer.

Where there are alternative methods or products we could use, we will give you the option. It's your build and you need to be 110% happy with it. Modern and minimal with glass and bi-fold doors, or traditional with older bricks, oak and natural slate: we aim to make every build as bespoke as possible.

We are very happy with the work carried out on our roof by the Manterfield team , initially we wanted the removal of 3 chimneys but extended that to the chimney removal and a complete new felt and tile roof and glad we did . For anyone looking for roof work doing I would definitely recommend Manterfields on the basis of how good they were on ours .Ian Sanderson Darton
Ian Sanderson, Google review, June 2026
We have just had an extension built with a roof lantern and bi-fold doors. This is now our fantastic new kitchen/diner. From start to finish, only 8 weeks, Manterfields were professional, efficient and friendly. Craig and Andrea helped to bring our dreams and ideas into reality and we are thrilled with the finished result. People have commented on how quickly the build went up and how clean the workplace was during and after the days work. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a good reliable company as we have already done to family and friends. Kath and Phil Howe
