Who we serve here
Sherwood Home Improvements & Roofing Ltd is based at Edwinstowe House on the High Street, right in the middle of the village. We've worked on roofs, gardens and extensions across Edwinstowe and the wider Sherwood Forest area for nearly three decades — from the older stone cottages off Church Street, through the post-war estates around Mansfield Road, to the newer builds on the Thoresby Vale and Clipstone Drive sides. Being local means we know which streets get the worst of the easterly winds off the forest, which roofs in the village still have asbestos cement underlay, and which builders put up the 1970s extensions that always leak first at the lead flashings.
Property types in Edwinstowe
Edwinstowe has an unusually mixed housing stock — Victorian and Edwardian terraces, large interwar semis, ex-NCB colliery houses around the old Thoresby pit, generous 1980s detached on Mansfield Road, and the new Thoresby Vale development. We've worked on all of it.
Most common Edwinstowe work
The most common Edwinstowe call-outs are concrete-tile roof replacements on the 1960s-1980s estates, lead flashing failures around chimneys on the older village terraces, and full landscaping work on the larger gardens out towards Ollerton Road.
Climate & exposure in Edwinstowe
Edwinstowe sits on the edge of Sherwood Forest, so properties here catch the prevailing south-westerly weather plus occasional hard easterlies off open ground — exposed ridges and gable verges fail here sooner than they do in sheltered Mansfield.
Local landmarks we know well: Sherwood Forest · Major Oak · St Mary's Church · Thoresby Vale · Edwinstowe High Street.

Local issues we see most
The specific problems we fix in Edwinstowe.
Every area has its own housing stock, climate and infrastructure quirks. Here's what fails most often in Edwinstowe — and how we put it right.
1960s-80s concrete tile roofs reaching end of life
Whole streets in Edwinstowe were re-roofed at the same time in interlocking concrete. Those roofs are now 40-50 years old, the tile clips are failing, and nail-sickness is setting in across the village.
Lead flashing failure on village-centre terraces
The older stone and brick terraces near St Mary's church often have original lead that has work-hardened and cracked along chimney upstands — a slow drip that ruins bedroom ceilings before anyone notices.
Storm damage from open-ground easterlies
Properties on the forest side of the village catch wind loads other Nottinghamshire homes don't. Ridge tiles lift, dry-verge clips snap, and verges need re-bedding more often than the textbooks suggest.
Garden drainage on heavy Sherwood clay
Edwinstowe gardens often sit on heavy clay with poor natural drainage — patios installed without proper sub-base settle and pool within two winters. We dig deeper here than most contractors will.
