Contractors prepare to put roof in place at Penistone’s Gateway project

25 October 2013

The roof will be going in place at Penistone’s impressive Gateway project next week.

The contractors PDR Construction are also preparing to install the impressive cruck barn feature on the development in the South Yorkshire market town - complementing the architecture of the neighbouring award winning market building.

The steel frame of the new Gateway development is now in place and more than 50 per cent of the block and stone work has also been completed.  The first floor slab has been cast and most of the ground floor slabs are finished.

On Monday (October 28th) the roof is being put in place and work will also start next week on lowering the  attractive timber frame into position on the building.

The brand new commercial development on St Mary’s Street is supported by ERDF grant funding and is being delivered by Barnsley based Dransfield Properties Ltd.

The Gateway is the final phase of the £15 million Penistone Town Centre Regeneration Scheme which also includes the neighboring TESCO store, town centre car park and the markets area which were completed by Dransfield Properties in 2010.

Several local businesses including Simon Blyth Estate Agents are already committed to taking space in the Gateway once it's completed. The new development will bring;

• Six new commercial units ranging in size from 1,200 sq ft to 2,400 sq ft
• Up to 21 first floor office units for start up businesses
• 25 new staff car parking spaces
• A shared lobby and facilities

Development Surveyor at Dransfield Properties, Dave Hale, said: “We’re making good progress on site at the moment and it will be great to see the roof and timber frame in place next week.”
