Trusted Roofers in Bredbury for Re-Roofs & Storm Repairs
Bredbury's post-war housing stock and newer residential developments across SK6 keep our teams busy with re-roofing, flat roof replacements, and guttering upgrades. We offer competitive, fixed-price quotes across the area.
We've been working on roofs in Bredbury since 2004, and the SK6 postcode is one we know as well as anywhere across Stockport. Bredbury's housing has come in waves, and each wave left behind a different set of roofing challenges. Down around Lower Bredbury and the older streets off George Lane, you'll find terraced and early semi-detached housing dating back to the early 1900s, properties where the original slate has done decades of hard service on an exposed hillside and is now splitting and delaminating, where chimney stacks have eroded to the point where the flaunching is cracked right through, and where valley gutters lined with ageing lead are the hidden cause of persistent bedroom damp that nobody can quite pin down.
Higher up towards Stockport Road West and the residential roads off Barrhill Road, the 1930s and post-war semis are a different proposition but bring their own ticking clocks. Bay roof felt that's perished and pooling water behind the fascia, concrete tiles that have lost their surface integrity and are absorbing rain rather than repelling it, and guttering and downpipes that have been neglected until staining is visible down the brickwork. We replace a lot of flat roofs on rear extensions across this part of Bredbury too, the single-storey kitchen and utility add-ons were almost universally covered in felt that was never meant to see thirty-plus winters and has long since given up. For families looking to create extra space rather than move, we also carry out the roofing work for loft conversions, which these generously proportioned semis are well suited to.
Our approach is the same in Bredbury as it is everywhere else we work: a free written quote with the full scope and cost laid out before we touch a tile, no pressure and no surprises. We carry full insurance, we guarantee every job, and we'd rather talk you out of unnecessary work than talk you into something you don't need, that's the advantage of being a family-run roofing company that relies on reputation rather than marketing spend. Our base at Hallam Mill keeps us close to SK6, so there's no distance premium factored into the price and we can usually arrange a roof inspection at short notice when the problem won't wait.
The three services we are best known for in Bredbury, 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 Bredbury
When a roof in Bredbury has reached the end of its life, we strip it back to the rafters and rebuild from the felt up in your choice of natural slate, concrete tile or heritage stone. Every re-roof is fitted by our own in-house team, upgraded to current insulation standards and signed off to Building Regulations under our NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so there is no separate council application to chase.
We install and replace flat roofs across Bredbury in EPDM rubber, fibreglass GRP and traditional lead, on extensions, dormers, garages and bay windows. Every flat roof is laid in one sealed piece with proper falls for drainage, modern insulation and a long written guarantee, and we re-cover tired, leaking felt roofs too.
From a single slipped tile to storm damage, leaking chimneys and split lead flashings, we carry out fast, fixed-price roof repairs throughout Bredbury. You get an honest assessment first, and we repair where a repair will genuinely hold rather than pushing you toward a full roof you do not need.

“Excellent, very professional service. I contacted Daniel regarding a leaking valley above my bay window which myself and others had tried to repair without success. He got back to me within an hour, came and looked at the job and explained what he thought was needed to resolve the problem, then sent a quote within a few days which I was happy with. The job was completed shortly after. Excellent communication from start to finish, first rate tradesmen and would definitely recommend.”

“Couldn't be more pleased with Daniel for the excellent chimney repointing and flashing. Lads on site were always happy to answer questions and even showed me picture at the end, Would recommend.”
“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.”
From the early-1900s terraces around Lower Bredbury and George Lane to the exposed post-war semis up towards Bredbury Green, these are the faults that bring us out most across SK6, and how we put each one right.
01
Storm-Lifted Ridges and Slipped Tiles on Exposed Slopes
What you'll notice
Tiles out of line or gone from the slope after a windy night, pieces on the drive or in the garden, and the odd damp patch showing upstairs.
Why it's so common here:
The higher ground around Bredbury Green and the slopes above the Goyt catch the wind with little shelter, so ridge tiles bedded on tired mortar work loose and single tiles lift and slip out of course faster than they can be swapped one at a time.
How we fix it:
We refix and replace to match, re-bed or dry-fix the ridge line so it holds through the next gale, and check the flashings while the scaffold is up, so one storm does not leave a run of faults behind it.
Nail Sickness and Delaminating Slate on Period Terraces
What you'll notice
Slates sitting askew or missing on an older terrace, fragments in the gutter, and daylight showing through the loft.
Why it's so common here:
The early-1900s terraces and early semis around Lower Bredbury and George Lane still carry their original slate, and after a century on an exposed hillside the iron nails corrode and snap, a fault known as nail sickness, while the slate itself splits and delaminates.
How we fix it:
Where only a few have gone we refix with new copper or stainless fixings, but once slipping is the pattern across the slope we quote a full strip and re-slate in matching natural or reclaimed slate that will see out another lifetime.
Damp tracking down an upstairs chimney breast, blown plaster around the stack, or water pooling in the loft directly beneath it.
Why it's so common here:
The tall brick stacks on Bredbury's older terraces and the Hatherlow cottages have often never been touched, so the flaunching cracks right through, the pointing washes out, and the lead flashing at the base splits and lets water past.
How we fix it:
We renew the flaunching, repoint or rebuild the stack where the brickwork has gone, and re-flash in fresh high-code lead dressed properly into the joints, using matching materials where conservation rules apply, rather than smearing it over with sealant.
A brown ring on the bedroom bay ceiling or the kitchen extension below, ponding water that never quite drains, or felt that has blistered and split.
Why it's so common here:
The 1930s and post-war semis off Stockport Road West were built with low-pitched felt roofs over the bay windows, and the single-storey rear extensions added since were almost all covered in felt that was never meant to see thirty winters.
How we fix it:
We strip back to a sound deck, replace any soft boarding and correct the falls, then re-cover in EPDM rubber or fibreglass GRP in one sealed piece, walkable and backed by a long written guarantee.
Sitting on the higher ground to the east of the town, Bredbury Green is a settled residential pocket of mid-century houses and bungalows along with some older cottages. Its exposed position means we regularly carry out storm-damage repairs, ridge tile repointing, and full re-roofs built to cope with the wind and weather coming off the Goyt valley.
Roofing in Barrack Hill
One of the original hamlets that grew into Bredbury, Barrack Hill is now a quiet residential area with a real mix of family houses and bungalows around Barrack Hill and Barrack Hill Close. We spend a lot of time here renewing ageing tiled roofs and upgrading worn felt flat roofs on garages and dormers to modern GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber.
Roofing in Hatherlow
Hatherlow is one of Bredbury's oldest corners, a cluster of former workers' cottages around the junctions of Bredbury Green and Gorsey Brow, and part of it falls within a designated conservation area. Working on these older, traditionally built roofs calls for a careful approach, using matching materials for slate repairs, chimney repointing, and leadwork wherever conservation requirements apply.
All of it across the SK6 postcode, from Lower Bredbury and the terraces off George Lane up to Bredbury Green, Barrack Hill and the conservation cottages at Hatherlow. Wherever you are in the area, there is a good chance we have already worked on a roof nearby.
How quickly can you get to a roof in Bredbury?
Our yard is at Hallam Mill in Stockport, only a short drive from SK6, so we can usually get out to look at a problem quickly and there is no call-out premium built into the price for the distance.
Repairs
Should I repair or re-slate an older terrace roof in Bredbury?
If only a handful of slates have slipped we refix them to match. But once the original slate around Lower Bredbury or George Lane is delaminating and the nails are giving way across the whole slope, it has reached the end of its life, and a full re-slate in matching material works out better value than paying to patch it every winter.
Costs
Will you give me a price over the phone?
No. We look over every Bredbury roof in person first, because no two of these hillside roofs are the same, then give you a free written quote with the full scope and cost set out and nothing added later. Each of our service pages also has a cost guide so you can get a feel for the numbers beforehand.
