Trusted Roofers in Alderley Edge for Re-Roofs & Repairs
Roofers in Alderley Edge for re-roofing, roof repairs and heritage leadwork throughout SK9, from the substantial Victorian villas and conservation streets of the village to the contemporary and country homes around Nether Alderley and Mottram St Andrew. Our own in-house team, fully insured, with an honest written quote after a proper look at the roof.
We are on Alderley Edge roofs the year round, and two decades working SK9 has taught us exactly what this village expects of a roofer. This is premium housing: substantial Victorian villas under heavy tree cover, large modern detached homes and contemporary builds with flat-roofed rear extensions, and the standard expected here is exacting. On the older villas that means heritage slate re-roofs, hand-dressed lead and steady repairs to valleys and slipped slate, while the newer homes want fibreglass and EPDM flat roofs laid to last. It is all carried out by the same team we run right across East Cheshire.
The standard here is high, so we quote the way we work: a proper survey first, then a fixed price in writing, with nothing guessed over the phone and nothing added once the scaffold is up. We are a family firm, fully insured, and every finished roof is guaranteed in writing. As the village comes under Cheshire East Council, a re-roof of more than half the area must meet Building Regulations; on an NFRC Competent Person Scheme we sign that off in-house and hand you the certificate, so there is no council Building Notice to arrange. On the bigger villa roofs a roof survey is often worth having before you buy.
Every credential is one we’ve earned through audit, training, or peer review.
Our Roofing Services in Alderley Edge
The three services we are best known for in Alderley Edge, 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 Alderley Edge
On the substantial Victorian villas of Alderley Edge we re-roof in matching natural and reclaimed slate, with the hand-dressed lead and ridge detail the older houses were built with. It is fitted by our own roofers and certified to Building Regulations in-house, to a standard that suits the property.
The contemporary homes and rear extensions around the village want flat roofs that last, so we lay fibreglass GRP and EPDM rubber over sound decks with corrected falls, walkable and guaranteed. We re-cover the ageing membranes on dormers, garages and single-storey extensions too.
Century-old slate fixed with iron nails slips as the nails corrode, and the lead bays and valleys on Alderley Edge villas flex and split. We refix and match the slate, re-bed the ridges and re-dress the lead, so one loose slate never becomes a whole slope.
Roofing in Alderley Edge: What We Know About Your Streets
Alderley Edge runs from grand period villas in the village to rural homes among the woods, and the roof changes with the setting.
The Village Villas and Conservation Core
The substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas around the village carry complex roofs with several valleys, hand-dressed lead and a lot of natural slate. Much of the older core sits in a conservation area, so we match slate like-for-like, keep the leadwork and ridge detail original, and carry out repairs that are invisible from the pavement.
The Edge and the Wooded Lanes
The homes along The Edge and the wooded lanes sit under heavy mature trees on the sandstone escarpment, so valleys and gutters block with leaves and shaded slate holds moss. We clear and re-line valleys, renew guttering and fascias, and remove moss by hand with a biocide treatment rather than a damaging jet wash.
Contemporary Homes and Flat-Roofed Extensions
Across the newer detached homes and the many properties extended at the rear, the roofing turns to flat roofs and concrete tile. We lay and re-cover flat roofs on extensions, dormers and garages in EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP, laid in one sealed piece with proper falls, and re-roof tile coverings that have reached the end of their life.
Call us to a leak anywhere in Alderley Edge or across SK9 and we will not leave it open: a full repair on the spot where the weather allows, a watertight temporary cover where it does not, and a return visit to finish. The roof is sound when we go.

★★★★★
“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.”
From the grand period villas of the village to the contemporary homes and rural lanes, these are the problems we are called to most in Alderley Edge, and how we put each one right.
01
Slipped Slate and Storm Damage on Period Villas
What you'll notice
Slates on the drive after a blow, a slipped ridge, or daylight showing in a loft.
Why it's so common here:
The big Victorian villas here carry old natural slate fixed with iron nails that corrode over a century, so slates work loose and slip, and exposed ridges and verges lift in a storm.
How we fix it:
We refix or replace slates to match, re-bed and re-point the ridges, and check the surrounding flashings, so one loose slate does not become a whole slope.
Water staining a wall beside a bay window, or a damp line where a valley runs between two slopes.
Why it's so common here:
The period villas around Alderley Edge were built with lead bay roofs and valley linings that have now flexed and split after decades of heat and cold.
How we fix it:
We strip the tired lead and re-lay Code 5 lead over wood-core rolls with proper expansion joints, so it moves with the seasons instead of cracking.
Pooling water, blisters or splits on a rear extension, dormer or garage roof, and staining on the ceiling below.
Why it's so common here:
Many homes here have contemporary flat-roofed extensions whose original felt or early membrane has aged, lost its falls and started to split.
How we fix it:
We strip back to a sound deck, correct the falls, and re-cover in fibreglass GRP or EPDM rubber, both laid in one sealed piece and walkable, with a long guarantee on the work.
Covering SK9, from the village villas and conservation streets out to Nether Alderley and Mottram St Andrew, means we arrive knowing roughly what a roof will need.
Roofing in Nether Alderley
Nether Alderley lies just south of the village, a rural parish with period farmhouses, cottages and the National Trust's Nether Alderley Mill. Roofs here are often older stone and slate, calling for sympathetic repairs, chimney work and traditional leadwork.
Roofing in Mottram St Andrew
Mottram St Andrew is a quiet, affluent parish east of Alderley Edge, with large detached houses, converted farm buildings and country properties. We carry out re-roofs, leadwork and flat-roof work on extensions across this spread-out, leafy area.
Roofing in The Edge
The homes along The Edge sit among heavy woodland on the sandstone escarpment, with substantial period and modern houses. The tree cover means blocked valleys and gutters and moss on shaded slate, so these roofs need regular clearing, valley work and cleaning.
Our base is Hallam Mill in Stockport, only a short drive from Alderley Edge, so we can usually come and look quickly, and there is nothing added to the price for the journey.
Do you handle large or complex villa roofs?
Yes. A lot of our Alderley Edge work is on big, multi-valley villa roofs with extensive leadwork. We survey the whole roof, scaffold it properly and work to a standard that suits the property, with the same in-house team start to finish.
Costs
Will you give me a price over the phone?
No. Every Alderley Edge roof is surveyed in person before we price it, because no two are alike, and the figure then goes to you in writing with nothing added later. Our service pages carry cost guides for a rough idea first, and a full re-roof of a terrace or semi typically runs £7,000 to £18,000.
Repairs
Do you work on conservation-area and period roofs?
Yes. Much of Alderley Edge falls within a conservation area, so we work like-for-like in matching natural slate, keep the lead and ridge detail original, and flag anything that needs consent before we begin.
Materials
Can you match the slate on an older Alderley Edge villa?
Yes. We source matching and reclaimed natural slate so a repair or re-roof on a period villa blends into the original roof rather than standing out as a patch. If you are buying one of these villas, it is worth pricing the roof before exchange; our guide to homebuyer roof survey options explains the routes and costs.
Planning
Do I need to tell Cheshire East Council about a re-roof?
Replacing more than half a roof brings it under Building Regulations, usually with an insulation upgrade. We are on an NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so we certify and document that ourselves, with nothing for you to lodge with Cheshire East Council.
