Roofers in Bramhall for new roofs, re-roofing and roof repairs across SK7, from the Edwardian slate roofs and conservation streets around the village to the 1930s bay-fronted semis and the newer estate homes. Family-run, fully insured, and every quote in writing after we have seen the roof, never a figure over the phone. From emergency leak repairs to full slate re-roofs, we have kept SK7 homes watertight for over 20 years.
We carry out roofing work in Bramhall most weeks, it's familiar territory, and after 20+ years working across the SK7 postcode we know these roofs in a way you only get from time on the ground. The mix of properties here is more varied than people expect. The older homes near Bramhall village and along Woodford Road often call for traditional slate repairs and chimney work that needs doing sympathetically, particularly where properties fall within the conservation area. Further out, the growing family homes across the estate roads more commonly need modern flat roofing for extensions, structural work for loft conversions, and guttering that's been neglected long enough to start causing damage inside. Different properties, different problems, but the same honest approach regardless. And if you are buying or selling a period home here, an independent roof survey can flag any roof problems before you commit, while our guide covers what to do if a survey has flagged the roof already.
As a family-run roofing company, we keep things straightforward. Every job starts with a free, transparent written quote, no vague estimates, no extras appearing once work has started. We're fully insured, all our work is guaranteed, and we'll always tell you clearly whether a repair is the right call or whether the roof has reached the point where a longer-term solution saves you more money over time. That kind of honest conversation is easier to have when you're local, and our base at Hallam Mill in Stockport keeps us close to SK7 without the travel charges some contractors quietly factor in.
Bramhall is one of our busiest patches across the wider Stockport area, and being here that often matters, it means we're accountable here in a way that a company travelling in from further afield simply isn't.
Every credential is one we’ve earned through audit, training, or peer review.
The three services we are best known for in Bramhall, 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.
When an Edwardian Bramhall roof reaches the point where nail corrosion has spread across the slope, we strip it back and re-slate in matching natural or reclaimed Welsh slate with fresh lead to the valleys, all fitted by our own team and signed off to Building Regulations under our NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so there is no council application to chase.
On the rear extensions, dormers and garages across Bramhall's family estates, we lay and re-cover flat roofs in EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP, in one sealed piece with proper falls and a long written guarantee. Tired felt over a 1930s bay window or a 1960s garage gets replaced, not patched over.
Slipped slates from old iron nails, cracked chimney lead and gutters clogged under the tree-lined avenues are what bring us out most in Bramhall. We refix the slate to match, renew the leadwork properly and clear the drainage, so one small fault does not turn into a ceiling stain.
We cover every roofing need across Bramhall, carried out by our own teams, never subcontracted.
View All ServicesBramhall runs from Edwardian slate roofs and conservation streets near the village to 1930s bay semis and post-war estates, and the roof changes with the street.
The Edwardian and pre-war homes around Bramhall village, Bramhall Lane South and the roads near Bramhall Park carry steep slate roofs with tall, ornate chimney stacks, much of it original and never touched. Three conservation areas cover parts of Bramhall, so we keep slate matched like-for-like, the chimney repointing in lime mortar and the leadwork hand-dressed rather than sealed over.
Across Dairyground, Bramhall Moor Lane and the roads off it sit the 1930s bay-fronted semis, where the flat or low-pitched roof over the bay window is the classic weak spot. We strip tired felt and re-cover these bays in EPDM rubber or fibreglass GRP with fresh lead flashing, and carry out the everyday slipped-tile repairs the main slopes need as they reach mid-life.
The mature oaks, beeches and sycamores along avenues like Carrwood Road and Bramhall Park Road are what give these streets their character, but they fill gutters and valleys with leaves every autumn. We clear and reseal or renew the guttering and downpipes, fit deep-flow profiles where the leaf fall is heavy, and put right any fascia the overflow has rotted.
Out on the Parkside, New House Farm and Little Australia estates the roofing turns to concrete tile and flat-roofed extensions and garages. We re-bed or dry-fix ridges on tile roofs reaching their years, re-cover flat roofs in rubber or fibreglass, and where a covering has finally had its day we quote a full re-roof built to see out the next generation.

“We are really happy with our new roof and the work Dan and his crew carried out. The working conditions were tough on the lads as space was tight and some hefty roadworks were taking place outside too. Nevertheless, Dan's team were always understanding, flexible and hard working. We've already had some neighbours asking who we used as they like what they have seen and I have had no hesitation in recommending Daniel Scott Roofing for anyone needing a roofer in Bramhall.”
Genuine 5-star Google reviews from Bramhall and the neighbouring towns we cover, each labelled with the town it came from.
“Dan's knowledge, candour and honesty are top notch. He helped identify issues with our roof that others completely missed, giving us a really clear understanding of the state and realistic life span of the roof. As a result he actually talked me out of doing more work, due to the limited life it would have against the rest of it, suggesting I save my money to have it all done properly in the future when we need to. He was always extremely helpful in making sure the work was done to a high standard.”
“We had several broken tiles on a ground floor roof causing a leak in our utility. Our gable end undercloaking board was also failing and becoming a hazard in high winds. We had great service from Daniel Scott Roofing, Dan was quick to assess the damage and gave a clear, competitive quote on the repairs needed. They completed the repairs promptly and professionally with good communication throughout, would definitely recommend!”
We spend a lot of time on roofs across Bramhall, and we see the same local patterns coming up again and again. Whether you're in an Edwardian detached on the edge of the Syddal Park Conservation Area, a 1930s bay-fronted semi near Dairyground, or a 1960s build on the Little Australia estate, here are the roofing problems most likely to be causing you trouble, and exactly how we put them right.
What you'll notice
Damp patches spreading across your upstairs chimney breast, peeling wallpaper around the stack, or water pooling in the loft directly beneath the chimney.
What you'll notice
Slates sitting at an angle, broken pieces on your driveway or patio, or daylight visible through your loft space.
What you'll notice
Rainwater cascading down your external walls during downpours, green algae staining on brickwork, or damp patches forming high up on internal walls.
What you'll notice
Water dripping into your loft during heavy rain, particularly where two roof slopes meet in a valley, or where a more recent extension joins the original house.

A detached bungalow off the back of Bramhall, leaking in two places along the rear slope. The original 1970s concrete tiles had started delaminating and the felt had pulled away from the eaves. Full strip back to the rafters, new breathable membrane, treated battens, fresh lead chimney flashings and a complete set of Sandtoft 20/20 Clay Tiles laid to a 120mm headlap, with 270-300mm mineral wool laid across the loft floor.

Bramhall isn't just one type of housing, and neither are its roofing problems. A Victorian slate roof near the village centre has nothing in common with a flat garage roof on a 1960s semi in Kitts Moss. Because we cover the whole of SK7, we know exactly what to expect when we pull up to your property.
Just south of the village, Woodford has a much more rural feel. The larger detached properties and older farmhouses here are often exposed to open fields and high winds. We regularly handle storm-damage repairs, ridge tile repointing, and full re-roofs designed to withstand heavy weather exposure.
Sitting quietly between Bramhall and Cheadle Hulme, the Kitts Moss area is packed with solid 1930s to 1950s family homes and bungalows. We spend a lot of time here upgrading ageing felt flat roofs on dormers and garages to modern GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, as well as overhauling original tiled roofs that have reached the end of their lifespan.
Working around the park and the Syddal Park Conservation Area requires a specialist touch. When we work on the stunning Edwardian properties along protected streets like Ogden Road and Thorn Road, we ensure every slate repair and chimney restoration meets the conservation area's requirements, using traditional materials and techniques.
Costs
No. We survey every Bramhall roof in person first, because no two of these Edwardian and semi roofs are the same, then give you a fixed written price with nothing added later. There are cost guides on our service pages for a rough idea beforehand, and a full re-roof of a terrace or semi typically runs £7,000 to £18,000.
Planning
Straightforward like-for-like repairs, replacing broken slates with matching slates, repointing a chimney, or renewing leadwork, generally fall under permitted development. However, Bramhall has three distinct conservation areas (Bramhall Park, Bramhall Lane South, and Syddal Park). These areas often have Article 4 Directions in place, which remove permitted development rights for changes to roofing materials, chimneys, and rooflights. On a full re-roof we certify the Building Regulations ourselves under our NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so there is nothing to submit to Stockport Council, and we advise you on any conservation consent before work begins.
Repairs
Wind-driven rain exploits gaps that a standard downpour wouldn't reach, cracked lead flashings, lifted ridge tiles, or mortar joints that have eroded on the exposed side of a chimney stack. Bramhall sits on relatively high ground and the properties along Bramhall Park Road and Carrwood Road in particular catch the prevailing south-westerly wind with very little shelter. We trace the exact entry point with our leak detection and repair service rather than guessing, so the repair actually solves the problem first time.
Very often, yes. The flat or low-pitched roof over a bay window is one of the most failure-prone areas on the 1930s bay-fronted semis common throughout Bramhall, around Dairyground, Bridge Lane, and the roads off Bramhall Moor Lane especially. The original felt or mineral covering degrades over time, and the lead flashing where the bay roof meets the main wall cracks with thermal movement. We typically strip the old felt and replace the bay roof covering entirely with modern GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber solutions, along with new lead flashings for a permanent repair.
Materials
For Edwardian and Victorian properties, we always recommend natural Welsh slate where possible, it matches the original material and weathers beautifully over time. For properties in the conservation areas, using sympathetic materials isn't just good practice, it may be strictly required. For the 1930s and later properties, good-quality concrete interlocking tiles are often perfectly appropriate and more cost-effective. We'll recommend the right material for your specific property and location.
Properly installed milled lead should last 60 years or more. The reason we see so much failed leadwork across Bramhall is that many properties are now reaching the end of their original lead's lifespan, particularly on the Edwardian homes built in the early 1900s, and on extensions added during the 1970s and 80s housing boom. When we replace leadwork, our specialist team uses high-code milled lead with proper expansion joints, so the new installation is built to handle decades of thermal movement without splitting.
General
We recommend a professional roof inspection every two to three years, or after any severe storm. For older Edwardian and pre-war properties, particularly those in the Syddal Park Conservation Area or along Bramhall Lane South, an annual check is worth considering. The combination of age, mature tree cover, and exposed chimney stacks means small problems can develop quickly if left unnoticed. The same logic applies before you buy in Bramhall: our guide to homebuyer roof surveys covers your options and honest costs.
Insurance
In principle, yes. If your roof was in a good state of repair before a sudden storm caused damage, like blowing off tiles or snapping a chimney pot, most home insurance policies will cover it. We recommend calling your insurer before starting work. We can provide professional roof damage reports and photographs to support your claim and help get the repairs moving quickly.
