What Our Marple Customers Think

I had a completely new roof installed by Dan and his team at my mother’s house in Marple. From pricing to completion was a flawless experience. Dan’s team were excellent, very polite and courteous to my mother and cleaned up at the end of each day. The team also made sure that my mother knew they were leaving for lunch or at the end of the day so she could make the house secure. They are a very good company to deal with and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. Five star company well done guys and thanks again for a job well done.

I used Daniel Scott to re-roof a second floor large dormer in Mellor. Dan came round himself to provide a detailed quote and was very professional. He also attached a tarpaulin to cover the roof (which was leaking), until they could come and do the work. They came earlier than promised and did an excellent job. Photos were provided to me and a guarantee. A gutter and downpipe, plus insulation were also included. I am very pleased with the work completed and would recommend the company to anyone. Great job, guys! Thank you.

Homeowner

Dan and his team have just completed a full re-roof on my 1930s property just in time for winter. It is really difficult to find reliable tradespeople, and I had previously been messed about by a roofer, so coming across Dan restored the faith! He was quick to come and quote, and kept me in the loop throughout while we waited a few months for him to finish other jobs. Dan and his team got the job done efficiently, and within the confirmed free quote price. We are really pleased with the final finish - we now have the best looking roof on the street. I would recommend Dan and his team.

Our Recent Roofing Projects in Marple Bridge

slate re-roof and velux window

Slate Bay Re-roof & Velux Installation | Marple Bridge
We recently revitalized the bay roofs! The project involved stripping the worn covering and installing matching natural slate to ensure the bays blended seamlessly with the main building. To bring more light into the rooms below, we incorporated Velux roof windows into the bay. The work was finished with expert lead flashing to ensure a watertight seal against the existing walls.

Areas We Cover Near Marple

We operate throughout the SK6 postcode, serving the town centre and the surrounding villages:

High Lane

We frequently work along the A6 corridor and the quiet residential roads near Windlehurst. From maintaining the 1930s semi-detached homes to repairing older properties near the Macclesfield Canal, we understand the specific roofing needs of High Lane residents. We provide fast response times for anyone near the park or the medical centre needing urgent roof care.

Marple Bridge & Compstall

Marple Bridge and Compstall are known for their beautiful stone cottages and conservation areas. We have extensive experience working on heritage properties near Town Street and Etherow Country Park. Whether you need sensitive slate repairs that match the original character of the village or flat roof solutions for a rear extension, we ensure our work complements the local history.

Mellor & Strines

Properties in Mellor and Strines often sit at higher elevations, making them more exposed to high winds and driving rain coming off the hills. We specialise in storm-proofing and rugged roofing solutions for these rural areas. From hilltop farmhouses to detached family homes near the golf club, we ensure your roof is robust enough to withstand the changing elements.

Common Questions from Marple Homeowners

Do you work on heritage properties in Marple Bridge?

Yes. We have extensive experience working within the Marple Bridge Conservation Area. We understand the strict requirements for using reclaimed stone slates and specific leadwork techniques to maintain the historic character of properties on Town Street and the surrounding lanes.

Do I need planning permission for a new roof in SK6?

In most cases, re-roofing (and smaller work) is does not require planning permission. However, if you live in a conservation area (like parts of Marple or Compstall) or if you are materially changing the appearance of the roof (e.g., switching from slate to modern tiles), you may need approval. We can guide you through this process. Call us for more advice

Building regulations apply if 25% of the roof is affected - see here

How quickly can you get to an emergency in SK6?

Because we are based locally, we can usually attend to emergency calls in Marple, High Lane, and Romiley within 2-4 hours. For storm damage in more exposed areas like Mellor, we prioritise securing the property to stop water ingress immediately before returning for full repairs.

Can you match the stone slates on my older property?

Absolutely. We have a network of reclamation yards specifically for sourcing Yorkshire stone and Welsh slate that matches the weathering of Marple's Victorian and Edwardian housing stock. We ensure any repairs blend in, rather than standing out as a "patch job."

My 1970s semi in Rose Hill has a leak—is it the felt?

It is a common issue in the area. Many homes built in Rose Hill and Hawk Green during the 60s and 70s still have original bitumen felt under the tiles, which degrades over time. We can often replace the perishable felt with a modern "breathable membrane" without needing to replace the entire tiled roof, saving you money.
