Trusted Roofers in Adlington for Period & Estate Roofs
Roofers in Adlington for period cottage roofs, re-roofs, roof repairs and roofline renewal across SK10, from the estate cottages and farmhouses around Adlington Hall and along London Road to the newer homes lining the A523. A fully insured, family-run team, with a written price after we have been up to look at the roof.
Adlington is a small estate village strung along the A523 London Road, out on the Cheshire edge between Poynton and Macclesfield, and its roofs run from period cottages and farmhouses to the newer homes built along the main road. The Grade I listed Adlington Hall and the Legh family estate have shaped the village for around seven centuries, so a good share of the older stock is traditional slate and stone with tall chimney stacks and hand-dressed lead, the sort of roof that wants a roofer who works on heritage property every week. We have re-roofed cottages here, including a late 1700s cottage off London Road where an end-of-life covering was replaced with a lightweight slate the original timbers could actually carry, and we keep the ridges, valleys and flashings on these older roofs watertight with careful repairs, heritage re-roofs and hand-dressed lead.
Not every Adlington roof is a heritage one. Plenty of the houses along London Road and out towards Butley are ordinary family homes where the roofline goes first, and we have stripped out rotten timber fascias and corroded cast iron guttering here and refitted the lot in low-maintenance uPVC. Whatever the property, we survey the roof in person and price it in writing, with no figure plucked from the air over the phone and nothing added once the scaffold goes up. We are a small family firm, fully insured, and we back every finished job with a written guarantee. The village sits under Cheshire East Council, so a re-roof covering more than half the area falls under Building Regulations; we are on an NFRC Competent Person Scheme and sign that off ourselves, which saves you a separate council Building Notice. If you are buying an older property up here, a roof survey is well worth having first, and it is all handled by the same team working right across East Cheshire.
Every credential is one we’ve earned through audit, training, or peer review.
Our Roofing Services in Adlington
The three services we are best known for in Adlington, new roofs and re-roofing,
flat roofing, and roof repairs, plus everything else a roof needs. Every job, large or small,
is carried out by our own trained teams, never subcontracted.
New Roofs in Adlington
A re-roof in Adlington usually means getting a period covering right, so we strip back to the rafters and rebuild in matching natural slate, reclaimed stone or, where the original timbers cannot carry the weight, a lightweight synthetic slate that keeps the heritage look. Fresh membrane and battens, ridges and verges detailed for the exposed setting, fitted by our own roofers and signed off to Building Regulations in-house.
On the newer homes and extensions along London Road we re-cover the flat roofs over garages, dormers and kitchen extensions in EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP, laid in one sealed piece with proper falls and a long written guarantee, and we strip out tired felt roofs that have started to let water in.
On Adlington's older cottage and estate roofs the ridges, flashings and slate slips give out first, and the tall chimney stacks weather from every side. We refix and match slate and stone, re-bed or dry-fix the ridges, renew the lead and repoint the stacks, keeping the original character of the roof intact.
Roofing in Adlington: What We Know About Your Streets
Adlington runs from the estate cottages around the Hall out along London Road to the newer homes and the rural lanes towards Butley, and the roof changes with the property.
Around Adlington Hall and the Estate
The period cottages, lodges and farmhouses on and around the Adlington Hall estate carry traditional slate and stone roofs, much of it a century or more old. Slates slip, ridges bedded in old lime mortar work loose, and the tall stacks want repointing. We carry out matching repairs, renew the lead valleys and flashings, and take on sympathetic re-roofs where a covering has finally had its day.
The London Road Corridor
Along the A523 through the village the stock is more mixed, older houses next to newer family homes, and here the roofline tends to fail before the covering does. We renew rotten timber fascias, soffits and bargeboards in uPVC, refit the guttering off the back of it, and re-bed ageing concrete tile where it has started to slip.
Rural Roofs Under the Trees
The estate parkland and the lanes out towards Butley leave a lot of roofs shaded by mature trees, so north-facing slopes green up with moss and the gutters foul with leaves every autumn. We clear and refix the guttering and carry out gentle hand roof cleaning and biocide treatment, never a jet wash that would strip the covering.
Call us out to a leak anywhere in Adlington or the wider SK10 area and we stay until the water is stopped, a full repair there and then where the weather allows, a sound temporary cover where it does not. You are never left with an open roof.

★★★★★
“This team are organised and helpful. We had a leak in our flat garage roof which appeared to be coming from around a failed coping stone, all repaired and re-sealed without fuss. Now drying out nicely. No cost as under the 10 year guarantee which the company supplies at the installation time. Great work!”
“Daniel Scott Roofing replaced a fibreglass roof on the extension of my property. The original roof had been poorly installed by another company. I wish I had contacted Daniel in the first place. He is friendly, courteous, professional and kept me informed of the progress of the job. His staff are also professional, cleaned up as they went along and were on time every day. I would have no hesitation in recommending Daniel Scott Roofing to anyone.”
“We recently had our roof replaced by Daniel Scott Roofing and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. From start to finish the entire process was smooth and efficient, thanks to the expertise and professionalism of Dan. After a previously bad experience with another roofing company, Dan was a breath of fresh air. The team were polite, friendly and incredibly skilled at their craft. We can wholeheartedly recommend Daniel Scott Roofing to anyone in need of roofing services.”
On the period cottage and estate roofs around Adlington, and the older houses along London Road, these are the faults that come round most often, along with how we sort each one.
01
Slipped and Cracked Slate on Period Roofs
What you'll notice
Slates or pieces of stone down on the path, gaps opening in a course, or a damp patch on the ceiling under the slope.
Why it's so common here:
Adlington's cottage and estate roofs are often well over a century old, so the old iron fixings corrode and the slate or stone works loose and cracks in the frost, letting water past.
How we fix it:
We refix and replace slate and stone to match, re-bed the ridges, and check the surrounding lead, keeping the original look of the roof intact.
Paint flaking off the boards behind the gutter, sagging gutter lines, or water running down the wall instead of the downpipe.
Why it's so common here:
On the older houses along London Road the timber fascias soften and rot and the old cast iron or early plastic guttering corrodes and pulls away, so rainwater tracks back into the wall.
How we fix it:
We strip the roofline back to sound timber, repair any rot underneath, then fit low-maintenance uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering, most often on the same scaffold.
Damp tracking down a chimney breast, loose or missing pointing, or lead flashing lifted after a gale.
Why it's so common here:
The tall stacks on Adlington's older roofs take the weather from every side out here, so the pointing washes out and the lead flashing around the stack lifts and splits.
How we fix it:
We repoint or rebuild the stack to match the original stone or brick, and re-flash it in fresh lead dressed properly into the joints, rather than smearing it over with sealant.
Covering SK10, from the estate cottages around the Hall out along London Road and the lanes towards Butley, means we arrive knowing roughly what a period or exposed roof will need.
Roofing in The Adlington Hall Estate
The lodges, estate cottages and farmhouses on the Adlington Hall land at the west end of the village carry traditional slate and stone roofs. These heritage roofs want matching repairs, hand-dressed lead and careful chimney work to keep their character while staying watertight.
Roofing in London Road (the A523)
London Road is the spine of the village, lined with a mix of older houses and newer family homes. Here the work is roofline renewal, fascias, soffits and guttering, alongside repairs and re-roofs as the coverings on the newer stock reach the age where tiles start to slip.
Roofing in Butley
Butley is the small hamlet along the lanes between Adlington and Prestbury, part of the same SK10 patch. Its period cottages and farmhouses take the weather out in the open, so ridges, flashings and slate slips are the regular work here.
Our yard is at Hallam Mill in Stockport, a straight run down the A523 to Adlington, so we can usually take a look quickly and we do not add anything to the price for the distance.
Materials
Can you match the slate or stone on an older Adlington cottage?
Yes. We source matching and reclaimed slate and stone so a repair or re-roof blends with the original rather than leaving an obvious patch, which matters on Adlington's period and estate roofs. Where the original timbers cannot carry natural slate or stone, we can use a lightweight synthetic slate that keeps the same look.
Heritage
Do you work on period and estate properties?
We do, regularly. Much of Adlington is heritage and estate stock, and we carry out sympathetic re-roofs, matching repairs, hand-dressed lead and chimney work on older cottages and farmhouses, keeping the character of the roof while bringing it up to a modern standard underneath.
Roofline
Can you replace old timber fascias and cast iron guttering?
Yes, this is common on Adlington's older houses. We strip the roofline back to sound timber, repair any rot, then fit low-maintenance uPVC fascias, soffits and guttering, usually on one scaffold so you only pay to put it up once.
Costs
Will you give me a price over the phone?
No, never on a roof we have not seen. We come and survey it first, because every Adlington roof is different, then give you a fixed written price. Our service pages carry cost guides if you want a rough idea beforehand, and a full re-roof of a terrace or semi typically runs £7,000 to £18,000.
Planning
Do I need to tell Cheshire East Council about a re-roof?
Replacing more than half the roof brings it under Building Regulations, usually with an insulation upgrade too. Being on an NFRC Competent Person Scheme, we certify and issue that ourselves, so there is nothing to lodge with Cheshire East Council.
