Roofers in Hazel Grove for new roofs, re-roofing and roof repairs right across SK7, from the red-brick Victorian terraces along the A6 and London Road to the 1930s and 1960s semis out towards Torkington and Norbury. Family-run, fully insured, and every quote in writing after we have seen the roof, never a figure over the phone.
Hazel Grove is a postcode we know inside out, as local roofers covering SK7 week after week, we've worked on just about every type of property this part of Stockport has to offer. The A6 corridor that cuts through the centre of the village tells its own story in roofing terms. The red-brick Victorian terraces lining London Road and the streets running off it, Marsland Street, Commercial Road, Davenport Road, throw up a predictable set of issues: original Welsh slate that's been weathering for well over a century, lead flashings that have cracked and split around chimney stacks, and ridge tiles bedded in lime mortar that's long since turned to powder. These are solid houses, but the roofwork needs understanding if you're going to do it properly rather than just patch over the next problem.
Head towards Torkington Road and out past the park, and the housing shifts noticeably. The larger 1930s and 1950s semis and detached properties on this side of Hazel Grove tend to bring a different set of headaches, ageing concrete tile roofs where the nibs have worn down and tiles are starting to slip, rear extensions with flat roofs that were only ever meant to last twenty years and are now well past that, and guttering and fascia boards that have quietly rotted behind a few coats of paint. We also see a lot of demand for loft conversions across these properties, where the roof space and plot sizes make it a worthwhile investment if the structural work is done right.
We won't dress things up or pressure you into work that isn't needed, that's not how we operate. You'll get a free written quote that spells out exactly what needs doing and what it'll cost, with nothing added on once we're up on the roof. We're fully insured, we guarantee every job, and if a straightforward repair will hold for years to come, we'll say so, just as we'll be upfront if the roof has reached a point where spending more now saves you chasing leaks every winter. Based at Hallam Mill in Stockport, we're only a few minutes from SK7, so there's no travel premium built into the price and we can usually get out to assess a problem quickly. If you're looking for a Hazel Grove roofer who'll tell it to you straight, get in touch for a no-obligation quote.

Our Roofing Services in Hazel Grove
The three services we are best known for in Hazel Grove, 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 Hazel Grove
When a century-old Welsh slate roof on a London Road terrace is past patching, we strip it back and rebuild in matching natural or reclaimed slate, with fresh lead to the chimney and abutments these Hazel Grove roofs carry. Every re-roof is fitted by our own team and signed off to Building Regulations under our NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so there is no council application for you to chase.
On the rear extensions and garages around Torkington and Norbury, 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 that was only ever meant to last twenty years gets replaced, not patched over.
Slipped concrete tiles, cracked chimney lead and powdery ridge mortar are what bring us out most in Hazel Grove. We refix and re-bed where the fault is local, renew the leadwork properly, and put the drainage right, so one small slip does not turn into a ceiling stain over winter.
Roofing in Hazel Grove: What We Know About Your Streets
Hazel Grove runs from century-old slate terraces along the A6 to post-war tiled semis out towards the countryside, and the roof changes with the street.
The A6 Corridor and the London Road Terraces
The red-brick Victorian terraces along London Road and the streets running off it, such as Marsland Street, Commercial Road and Davenport Road, carry original Welsh slate that has weathered well over a century, along with lead flashings around the chimney stacks that have cracked and split. We match slate like-for-like, renew the leadwork properly and carry out the repairs these solid old houses need rather than papering over the next problem.
Torkington, Norbury and the Post-War Semis
Out towards Torkington Road and the 1960s Norbury Moor estate, the housing turns to concrete tile semis where the nibs have worn down and tiles are starting to slip, and to rear extensions with flat roofs long past their span. We re-bed and dry-fix ridges, renew slipped tiles, and re-cover extension and garage roofs in EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP, and where a covering has finally had its day we quote a full re-roof.
Stepping Hill and the Period Family Homes
Around Stepping Hill and Great Moor the early-twentieth-century semis and terraces have weathered a hundred winters, so tired tiled and slate roofs, repointed chimneys and refreshed leadwork are steady work here. Many owners take the chance to add a loft conversion at the same time, which is worth doing properly when the structural work is done right.
If water is getting into a home anywhere in Hazel Grove or across SK7, we come out and stop it, and we do not leave it open. A full repair where the weather allows, a sound temporary cover where it does not, then back to finish the job properly.
No day rates plucked from the air and no figure that creeps up later. Every Hazel Grove quote is itemised in writing after a proper survey. For real numbers by job, see the cost guide on each service page.

“Daniel Scott Roofing completed a total re-roof of my old bungalow in 2024, including new gutters, downpipes, fascias, plus additional work inside the roof space, and I am very pleased indeed with the results. I have no hesitation in recommending Daniel Scott Roofing to anyone with roofing needs. Communications throughout were very good, Daniel responded promptly to queries. His team(s) worked conscientiously, they were always polite and tidied up as they went along. The final result looks great. As the company is a member of CORC I was able to obtain an insurance-backed guarantee for the work, in addition to Daniel Scott's own 10-year guarantee.”

“Dan and his team have just completed two roofs for me in Hazel Grove. I changed my mind about the materials to be used after he started, but this was no problem to him or his team. The job also had more problems that needed sorting out, a Velux roof window and some rendering instead of plastic cladding. The results were fantastic and look superb. This is the second time I have had Dan do roofs for me, I would not use anyone else.”

“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 century-old slate terraces along the A6 to the post-war semis out towards Torkington and Norbury, these are the faults that bring us out most across Hazel Grove, with how we fix each.
01
Cracked Chimney Lead on the London Road Terraces
What you'll notice
A damp patch on a bedroom ceiling near the chimney breast, or staining down the wall where the stack meets the roof.
Why it's so common here:
The Victorian terraces off London Road carry lead flashings around their chimney stacks that have cracked and split with age, so rain finds its way in around the stack rather than running off it.
How we fix it:
We strip out the failed flashing, re-dress fresh lead into the brickwork and repoint the stack where the mortar has gone, so the joint between chimney and roof is watertight again.
A ridge tile sitting askew on the roofline, bits of sandy mortar in the gutter, or a tile that has come down in a gale.
Why it's so common here:
On the older Hazel Grove roofs the ridge tiles were bedded in lime mortar that has long since turned to powder, so the ridge loosens and tiles work free in high wind.
How we fix it:
We lift the ridge, clear the old mortar and re-bed it, or dry-fix the ridge with a mechanical system so it stays put without relying on mortar at all.
Gaps appearing in the tile rows, tiles sitting lower than their neighbours, or one lying in the garden after a storm.
Why it's so common here:
The 1930s to 1960s semis around Torkington and Norbury have concrete tile roofs where the fixing nibs have worn down over the decades, so tiles gradually slip out of line.
How we fix it:
We refix or renew the slipped tiles, check the battens and felt beneath, and where the whole covering is at the end of its life we price a full re-roof rather than a patch.
Ponding water sitting on the flat roof after rain, blistered or split felt, or a damp patch spreading on the extension ceiling.
Why it's so common here:
Many Hazel Grove homes have rear extensions and garages with felt flat roofs that were only ever meant to last twenty years and are now well past that.
How we fix it:
We strip the old felt back, correct the falls so water drains away, and re-cover in EPDM rubber or fibreglass GRP as one sealed sheet with a long written guarantee.
Covering SK7, from the Victorian terraces along the A6 and London Road out to Torkington, Norbury and Stepping Hill, means we arrive knowing roughly what a roof will need.
Roofing in Torkington
On the eastern side of Hazel Grove around Torkington Park, this is largely a settled residential area where the built-up streets give way to green belt and open countryside. Properties closer to the rural fringe are more exposed to wind and driving rain, so we carry out a steady amount of storm-damage work, ridge tile repointing, and weather-resistant re-roofs alongside everyday slate and tile repairs.
Roofing in Norbury
Covering the southern part of Hazel Grove, Norbury is a settled suburban area that includes the 1960s Norbury Moor housing estate. These mid-century homes typically have ageing concrete tile roofs and felt-covered flat roofs on garages and extensions, so we spend a lot of time here renewing worn tiled roofs and upgrading tired flat roofs to modern GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber.
Roofing in Stepping Hill
Straddling the boundary between Hazel Grove and Great Moor, Stepping Hill is best known for its hospital but is largely a settled residential area of early-20th-century semis and terraces. We are regularly out here renewing tired tiled and slate roofs that have weathered a century, alongside repointing chimneys and refreshing leadwork on these period family homes.
Roofing in Fiveways
Centred on the busy junction where Macclesfield Road meets Dean Lane, the Fiveways area is a mix of suburban semis, terraces and the flats and maisonettes around Fiveways Parade. We regularly carry out gutter and flashing repairs, dormer flat-roof renewals and full re-roofs on the older family housing that lines these streets.
Our yard is at Hallam Mill in Stockport, only a few minutes from SK7, so we can usually get out to look quickly, and the distance adds nothing to the price.
Costs
Will you give me a price over the phone?
No. We survey every Hazel Grove roof in person first, because no two of these terrace 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.
Repairs
The lead around my chimney is leaking, can you sort just that?
Yes. Cracked and split chimney lead is one of the most common faults on the older London Road terraces, and we can re-dress fresh lead flashing and repoint the stack as a standalone chimney repair without re-roofing the whole house.
My concrete tiles keep slipping, is that a full re-roof?
Not always. On the post-war semis around Norbury the tile nibs wear down and tiles slip one at a time, which we can refix. Only when the battens, felt or the covering as a whole have reached the end of their life do we recommend a full re-roof, and we will tell you honestly which it is.
Materials
Can you match the Welsh slate on an older Hazel Grove roof?
Yes. We match and source reclaimed natural slate so a repair or re-roof on a period terrace along the A6 blends in rather than leaving an obvious patch.
Planning
Do I need to tell the council about a re-roof?
Once a re-roof covers more than half the roof it falls under Building Regulations, normally with an insulation upgrade. On an NFRC Competent Person Scheme we certify and document it ourselves, so there is nothing for you to submit to Stockport Council.
Maintenance
Should I have the moss cleaned off my roof?
On the shaded, north-facing slopes common across Hazel Grove, yes, because moss holds water against the tiles and washes down to block the gutters. We remove it by hand and treat the roof with a biocide roof clean, and we never jet wash, which strips the weatherproof surface off the tiles.
