Porous and Slipped Slate on Period Roofs
What you'll notice
Broken slate on the path, dark damp patches on bedroom ceilings, or daylight showing through the loft.
Cheadle Roofers, Slate & Lead Specialists for SK8
Cheadle is one of the most sought-after postcodes in South Manchester, with well-maintained housing stock that demands quality roofing workmanship. We provide fast-response repairs and planned re-roofing services across SK8.
Your Local Roofer in Cheadle
Cheadle is really two roofing jobs in one SK8 postcode. Around the old village and St Mary's Church, where the conservation area protects the streetscape, the work is careful and traditional: matching natural slate, repointing chimney stacks in lime mortar, and renewing the leadwork period roofs depend on rather than smearing the problem over with sealant. We recently took a detached Victorian on the Gatley side back to the rafters and re-covered it in reclaimed Welsh slate, the kind of job where the detailing is the whole point.
Out across Gatley, Heald Green and the newer streets towards Cheadle Royal, the roofs are younger and the faults are different, slipped tiles, a flat roof over an extension that has had enough, guttering that has quietly stopped coping. Whatever sits above your ceilings, we look at it in person and tell you straight whether a repair will hold or a re-roof is the better money. No quotes guessed down the phone.

“I used Daniel Scott to re-roof a second floor large dormer. Dan came round himself to provide a detailed quote and was very professional. He also attached a tarpaulin to cover the leaking roof 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.”

Recent Roofing Work in Cheadle
Reclaimed Welsh Slate Re-Roof on a Detached Victorian
A detached Victorian on the Gatley side of Cheadle had been patched up so many times over the years that the original character was disappearing under cement repairs and mismatched slates. We stripped it back to the rafters, re-covered in reclaimed Penrhyn purple-grey Welsh slate over breathable membrane, and finished with dressed lead, wet ridge and dry verge throughout. Building regulations applied, loft insulation upgraded to current U-values as part of the works. Good for the next 80+ years.
Roofing Across Cheadle and Its Neighbourhoods
A slate roof near the village has little in common with a flat garage roof in Heald Green. Because we cover the whole of SK8, we know what we are walking up to before we arrive.
Roofing in Gatley
Sitting on the western side of Cheadle and sharing the SK8 postcode, Gatley is a settled residential suburb of well-kept inter-war semis and detached family homes. We regularly re-tile ageing 1930s roofs here and upgrade tired felt flat roofs on dormers and garages to modern GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber.
Roofing in Cheadle Heath
On the northern edge of Cheadle towards Stockport, Cheadle Heath is a densely built residential area dominated by mid-century semi-detached houses, most dating from the 1930s and 1940s. The original tiled roofs on these homes are now reaching the end of their service life, so we handle a steady stream of full re-roofs, ridge repointing and storm-damage repairs across the area.
Roofing in Cheadle Royal
Cheadle Royal lies to the south of the village within SK8 and is known for its newer, predominantly detached housing alongside the business park. The more modern roofs here still need looking after, so we carry out flat-roof renewals, leadwork repairs and routine maintenance to keep these properties watertight.
Roofing in Heald Green
Sitting just south-west of Cheadle within SK8, Heald Green is a large, settled residential suburb dominated by 1930s semi-detached homes and a high proportion of bungalows. We frequently re-roof and repair these ageing tiled and pitched roofs, along with replacing tired felt flat roofs on the area's many garages and single-storey bungalow extensions.
Roofing Questions from Cheadle Homeowners
Planning
Do I need permission for roof work in the Cheadle conservation area?
Like-for-like repairs, swapping broken slate for matching slate, repointing a chimney or renewing lead, normally count as permitted development. The Cheadle village conservation area can carry extra controls on materials and rooflights though, so we will tell you before any work starts whether anything needs checking with the council.
Materials
Can you match the slate on a Victorian roof in Gatley or the village?
Yes. We source reclaimed Welsh slate and good natural alternatives so a repair or re-roof blends with the original rather than leaving a patch in a different colour. On a recent Gatley re-roof we used reclaimed Penrhyn purple-grey slate for exactly that reason.
Repairs
My flat roof over the extension keeps leaking. Repair or replace?
If the deck underneath is still sound we can sometimes patch it, but old felt that has started splitting usually fails again within a winter or two. More often the honest answer in Cheadle is a one-off recovering in GRP or EPDM, which we will price against a repair so you can decide.
General
How quickly can you get to Cheadle?
We are based at Hallam Mill in Stockport, about ten minutes from most of SK8, so we can usually get out to look at a problem quickly and there is no travel charge built into the price.
