Trusted Roofers in Disley for Roof Repairs & Re-Roofs
Roofers in Disley for roof repairs, re-roofing and chimney work built for the Peak edge, keeping homes sound across SK12 from the exposed stone cottages of Higher Disley to the larger detached houses out towards Lyme Park. A small, fully insured family team, with every price put in writing after we have seen the roof.
Disley sits right on the lip of the Peak District, and after more than twenty years on its roofs we know exactly what that exposure does to them. The village is stone cottages, period property and larger detached homes climbing towards the moors below Lyme Park, much of it on shaded, north-facing slopes where damp and moss are a constant fight and driving rain probes every weak point. That keeps us busy with roof repairs, moss removal, hand-dressed lead and full stone and slate re-roofs, all of it looked after by the same roofing team that covers East Cheshire.
On a Disley roof the real enemy is water that never gets a chance to dry, so we survey in person, in the conditions the roof actually faces, and put a fixed price in writing rather than guessing over the phone. We are a family firm, fully insured, and every job we finish is guaranteed in writing. Disley comes under Cheshire East Council, and on a re-roof of more than half the area we certify the Building Regulations ourselves through an NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so there is no council Building Notice to lodge. Buying a stone house up here? A roof survey will tell you what the damp has been doing before you commit.
Every credential is one we’ve earned through audit, training, or peer review.
Our Roofing Services in Disley
The three services we are best known for in Disley, 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 Disley
When a roof in Disley 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 Disley 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 Disley. 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.
Roofing in Disley: What We Know About Your Streets
Disley runs from the village centre up onto the exposed Peak fringe, and the roof has to work harder the higher you go.
The Village Centre and Period Stone Cottages
The older core of Disley around the centre and the parish church carries period stone and slate roofs, often shaded and slow to dry. Slates slip, pointing washes out and moss takes hold, so we carry out matching repairs, renew the lead flashings, and clear and treat moss to keep these roofs sound.
Higher Disley and the Exposed Slopes
Up the A6 towards Higher Disley and the moor edge, the cottages and homes take the full Peak weather, so ridges, verges and flashings give out first and chimney pointing erodes. We re-bed and re-point ridges and verges, renew flashings in high-code lead and repoint the chimney stacks on these exposed roofs.
Lyme Park Edge and the Newer Homes
Out towards Lyme Park and across the larger detached homes and newer property, the work includes flat-roofed extensions and ageing tile. We re-cover felt flat roofs in EPDM or GRP, re-bed or dry-fix ridges on tile reaching mid-life, and quote a full re-roof where a covering has had its day.
If a leak starts anywhere in Disley or out towards the Peak, we come and stop it, and we do not pack up until we have. Where the weather lets us we repair it on the spot; where it does not, we cover it watertight and return to finish. The roof is always sound when we leave.

★★★★★
“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.”
Out on the damp, wind-blown edge of the Peak, these are the issues we deal with most on Disley roofs, and how we set each one right.

Penetrating Damp and Leaks on Old Stone
What you'll notice
Damp patches on chimney breasts or upstairs walls, a musty smell in the loft, or staining that spreads in wet spells.
Why it's so common here:
Disley's older stone cottages sit in a damp, exposed spot where rain is driven into the wall heads, eroded pointing and tired flashings, and the roof rarely gets long enough to dry out.
How we fix it:
We trace where the water is actually getting in, renew the lead flashings and pointing, and make good the stonework and verges so the wall heads stay dry.
Thick moss across the shaded slopes, gutters blocked with washed-down moss, and slates staying wet long after rain.
Why it's so common here:
The shaded, north-facing stone and slate roofs common around Disley never quite dry out in the damp Peak-edge air, so moss takes hold, holds water against the roof and blocks the gutters.
How we fix it:
We remove moss by hand, never with a jet wash that strips the surface off the slates, then treat the roof with a biocide to slow it coming back, and clear the gutters while we are up there.
A damp line where two slopes meet, or staining where a roof meets a wall or chimney.
Why it's so common here:
The lead in the valleys and flashings of Disley's stone roofs has flexed and split after decades of heat, cold and exposure, and old mortar fillets crack and let water past.
How we fix it:
We strip the tired lead and re-dress fresh high-code lead into the valleys and abutments with proper laps and joints, so it sheds water and moves with the seasons.
Covering SK12, from the village centre up to Higher Disley and out towards Lyme Park, means we arrive knowing roughly what an exposed roof will need.
Roofing in Higher Disley
Higher Disley climbs the A6 towards the top of the village, exposed stone cottages and homes taking severe Peak-edge weather. Ridges, verges, flashings and damp on shaded stone are the regular work up here.
Roofing in Newtown
Newtown is a residential part of Disley with a mix of older stone property and later housing. Roofs here need stone and slate repairs, chimney work and the occasional re-roof, plus flat-roof renewals on extensions.
Roofing in Lyme
Lyme, on the hills above Disley, is best known for Lyme Park and its National Trust estate, with scattered farmhouses and country properties. These exposed stone roofs need robust repairs, leadwork and chimney work to handle the weather up here.
We work out of Hallam Mill in Stockport, an easy run up to Disley, so we can usually get out to look soon after you call, and the distance does not add anything to the price.
Repairs
My roof only leaks when the wind comes from one direction. Why?
Wind-driven rain finds gaps a normal downpour never reaches, a lifted ridge or verge, a split flashing, or eroded pointing on the exposed side of a stack. It is common on the exposed roofs around Disley and the Peak edge. We trace the actual entry point rather than guessing, so the repair holds.
Cleaning
Should I have the moss removed from my roof?
On the shaded, damp stone roofs common in Disley, yes, because moss holds water against the slates and blocks the gutters. We remove it by hand and treat the roof with a biocide, and we never jet wash, which strips the weatherproof surface off the slates.
Materials
Can you match the stone or slate on an older Disley roof?
Yes. We source matching and reclaimed stone slate and natural slate so a repair or re-roof blends with the original rather than leaving an obvious patch, which matters on Disley's traditional stone roofs.
Planning
Do I need to tell Cheshire East Council about a re-roof?
Once a re-roof covers more than half the roof it falls under Building Regulations, normally with better insulation too. We are on an NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so we certify it and issue the paperwork ourselves, with nothing to submit to Cheshire East Council.
Costs
Will you give me a price over the phone?
No. On an exposed Disley roof we always survey in person first, because no two are alike, then give you a fixed written price. There are cost guides on our service pages if you want a feel for the numbers beforehand.
