Roofers in Bollington for stone slate roofing, roof repairs and chimney work across SK10, from the gritstone mill terraces and Kerridge stone slate roofs of the village to the cottages climbing towards Kerridge and the homes along the canal. A fully insured, family-run team, with a written price after we have been up to look at the roof.
Bollington is one of the villages we know best on the Cheshire edge of the Peak, and after more than twenty years on its roofs we understand what the weather does up here. This is a stone-built former mill town climbing the hillside below Kerridge, much of it roofed in gritstone, Welsh slate and Kerridge stone slate, the thin sawn stone quarried on the hill above the village that you will find on few other roofs. With wind-driven rain coming straight off the Pennine edge, ridges, verges and flashings are the first to give, which keeps us busy with roof repairs, heritage stone and slate re-roofs and hand-dressed lead. It is all handled by the same team working right across East Cheshire.
What matters on a Bollington roof is getting the stone and the detailing right, so we survey every job 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 has to meet 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 up here, a roof survey is worth having before you take on an exposed stone roof.
Every credential is one we’ve earned through audit, training, or peer review.
The three services we are best known for in Bollington, 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.
A Bollington re-roof means getting the stone right, so we rebuild in matching Kerridge stone slate, gritstone or Welsh slate on fresh membrane and battens, with ridges and verges detailed to take the wind off the moor. Fitted by our own roofers and signed off to Building Regulations in-house.
Along the canal and the lower, newer parts of the village we re-cover the flat roofs on extensions, garages and mill conversions in EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP, laid in one sealed piece with proper falls and a long written guarantee.
On an exposed Bollington hillside the ridges, verges and flashings give out first, and the heavy Kerridge stone slate works loose or cracks in the frost. We refix and match the stone, re-bed or dry-fix the ridges and renew the lead, keeping the original look of the roof.
We cover every roofing need across Bollington, carried out by our own teams, never subcontracted.
View All ServicesBollington runs from stone mill-town terraces up onto an exposed hillside, and the roof changes with the height.
The gritstone terraces lining the streets through the village carry roofs in Welsh slate and Kerridge stone slate, much of it well over a century old. Slates slip, ridges bedded in old lime mortar loosen, and the heavy stone slate needs careful refixing. We carry out matching repairs and renew the lead valleys and flashings that keep these roofs watertight.
The cottages climbing towards Kerridge and the White Nancy folly take the full brunt of the weather, so ridges, verges and flashings give out first and chimney pointing washes out. We re-bed and re-point ridges and verges, renew flashings in high-code lead, and repoint or rebuild the chimney stacks on these exposed roofs.
Along the Macclesfield Canal and the lower, newer parts of the village, the stock includes converted mill buildings and later homes with concrete tile and flat-roofed extensions. We re-bed ageing tile, re-cover felt flat roofs in EPDM or GRP, and take on full re-roofs where a covering has had its day.

“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.”

Covering SK10, from the stone mill-town terraces up to Kerridge and out along the canal, means we arrive knowing roughly what an exposed roof will need.
Kerridge is the hillside hamlet above Bollington, beneath the White Nancy folly, where the Kerridge stone slate was quarried. Its exposed stone cottages take the full weather, so ridges, verges, flashings and slate slips are the regular work up here.
Ingersley Vale runs along the valley on the east side of Bollington, with former mill buildings and stone cottages. The period stone and slate roofs here need sympathetic repairs, leadwork and chimney work to stand up to the exposed setting.
Bollington Cross sits at the lower, western end of the village, a mix of older stone property and newer homes. We carry out slate and tile repairs, re-roofs and flat-roof work on extensions across this part of SK10.
General
Our yard is at Hallam Mill in Stockport, a straightforward run out to Bollington, so we can usually take a look quickly and we do not add anything to the price for the distance.
Repairs
On an exposed hillside like Bollington the ridges, verges and flashings take the wind-driven rain head-on, so the old lime bedding and tired flashings give out before the main slopes do. We re-bed and re-point them, or move you to a dry-fix ridge that copes better with the weather.
Yes, leaking stacks are common on Bollington's exposed older roofs. We repoint or rebuild the brickwork or stonework and renew the lead flashing, rather than smearing the problem over with sealant.
Materials
Yes. We source matching and reclaimed stone slate, Welsh slate and gritstone so a repair or re-roof blends with the original rather than leaving an obvious patch, which matters on Bollington's traditional stone roofs.
Costs
No, never on an exposed stone roof we have not seen. We come and survey it first, because every Bollington 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
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.
