Rotherham's homes, by the numbers
Rotherham in the 2021 census: 113,924 households, 90% houses, 10% flats.
Almost half the homes in this metropolitan district, 49.2%, are semi-detached, and 89.7% of dwellings are houses rather than flats. S60, S61, S62, S65 and S95 take in Boston Castle, Greasbrough, Brinsworth, Rawmarsh East, Rawmarsh West and Dalton & Thrybergh. Inside a house the hall, stairs and landing absorb several times the traffic of any bedroom, and grit walked in from the front door does most of the damage. A barrier mat recessed at the entrance, plus a tougher specification for the hall than for the rooms above it, puts the money where the wear actually is; one grade throughout means replacing everything when only the hall has gone.
One home in two in Rotherham is semi-detached, reaching from Brinsworth and Greasbrough out to Bramley, Ravenfield, Dinnington and Rawmarsh. In houses of that plan the kitchen is fitted, the units are screwed to the wall, and the floor has to decide whether to go under them or stop at them.
In a fitted kitchen the floor has to decide whether to run beneath the units or stop at the plinth. Underneath means lifting the kitchen to change it later; stopping at the plinth saves material now but commits the room to those units in that position.
