Roofers in Macclesfield for roof repairs, chimney repairs and re-roofing across SK10 and SK11, from the stone silk-town terraces and conservation core to the villas of Prestbury and the tiled estates of Tytherington and Hurdsfield. Family-run and fully insured, with every price put in writing after a proper visit.
Macclesfield has kept us busy since 2004, from the silk-town terraces climbing the hillside to the villas of Prestbury and the estates around Hurdsfield and Broken Cross. Daniel Scott Roofing is family-run, with all 18 of our roofers employed in-house, covering SK10 and SK11 with roof repairs, chimney repairs and full re-roofs in slate and stone to match. 500 and counting completed roofs, a 10-year guarantee on every major job, and 5 stars on Google, with CORC insurance behind it.
This is a town that asks for a roofer who knows stone. The old silk-town core carries gritstone and Kerridge stone slate laid more than a century ago, on terraces whose tall shared stacks take the full force of the weather rolling off the Pennine edge, and much of that core sits in a conservation area where materials must go back like-for-like. That is precisely the work we do, which is why chimney repointing, re-flashing and nail-sick slate repairs make up so much of our Macclesfield workload.
On Macclesfield's stone roofs the detail is everything, so we survey in person and price in writing, with no figure guessed over the phone and nothing added once we are up there. We are fully insured, and we stand behind every finished roof with a written guarantee. The town is under Cheshire East Council, so a re-roof of more than half the area has to meet Building Regulations; on an NFRC Competent Person Scheme we certify it ourselves and hand over the certificate, sparing you a council Building Notice. For an older silk-town roof, a roof survey before you buy is well worth it.
Every credential is one we’ve earned through audit, training, or peer review.
The three services we are best known for in Macclesfield, 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 a Macclesfield stone roof has finally gone, we re-roof in matching natural slate, gritstone or Kerridge stone slate, rebuilt on fresh membrane and battens with the ridges and stacks detailed for the Pennine weather. Fitted by our own team and certified to Building Regulations in-house.
A lot of Macclesfield homes, especially on the post-war estates around Hurdsfield and Broken Cross, have extensions and garages whose felt was only built to last twenty years. We strip back to a sound deck and re-cover in fibreglass GRP or EPDM rubber, laid in one piece with a long guarantee.
On the old silk-town terraces the slates turn nail-sick and slip, the lime-bedded ridges work loose and the tall brick stacks need repointing and re-flashing. We match natural and reclaimed slate, re-bed the ridges and re-dress the lead so the repair holds through the hillside weather.
We cover every roofing need across Macclesfield, carried out by our own teams, never subcontracted.
View All ServicesMacclesfield changes from old silk-town terraces to hillside villages street by street, and the roof changes with it.
The streets climbing the hill around the town centre carry old silk-mill workers' terraces in stone and slate, with roofs well over a century old. The original nails corrode so slates slip, ridges bedded in lime mortar loosen, and the tall brick stacks need work. Much of this older core sits in a conservation area, so we match natural and reclaimed slate like-for-like and keep the chimney and leadwork detail right.
North towards Prestbury and Tytherington, and across the leafier suburbs, the stock turns to larger Victorian and Edwardian villas and detached homes, many with several valleys and flat-roofed extensions. Heavy tree cover blocks valleys and gutters and north-facing slate holds moss, so we clear and re-line valleys, renew guttering and fascias and take on full re-roofs where a roof has had its day.
The post-war and later estates around Hurdsfield, Broken Cross and out towards the hills are mostly concrete tile, now growing porous and shedding ridge tiles in the wind off the Pennine edge. We re-bed or convert to dry-fix ridges, refix slipped tiles, and re-cover the felt flat roofs on extensions and garages that were only ever built to last twenty years.
Our Promise to You
Call us to a leak anywhere in Macclesfield or across SK10 and we stay until it is stopped, a full repair where the weather allows, a watertight temporary cover where it does not, then back to finish. You are never left with an open roof.
A Macclesfield roof is never priced from the pavement or over the phone. We come out, look at it properly, and itemise the quote, while the cost guides linked below give you a realistic figure per job beforehand.
See real numbers, by job
Open up a Macclesfield stack or strip a slope and we sometimes find eroded flaunching or a slipped stone slate that never showed from the ground. When that happens we bring you up to see it and agree the figure before going on, so nothing lands on the bill by surprise.
Genuine 5-star Google reviews from Macclesfield and the neighbouring towns we cover, each labelled with the town it came from.
“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.”
“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.”
From the stone terraces of the silk-town core to the hillside estates that take the Pennine weather, these are the faults we are called out to most across Macclesfield, with how we fix each one.

Know Before You Spend
Before you buy, sell or insure a stone-roofed Macclesfield home, these three guides help you read the roof first.
Buying a House
A standard house survey barely inspects the roof. Three options with honest prices, from a £50 report review to a fully independent NWRS inspection.

Covering SK10 and SK11, from the silk-town terraces and conservation core out to Prestbury, Tytherington and the hill villages, means we arrive knowing roughly what a roof will need.
Prestbury is an affluent conservation village just north of Macclesfield, with period cottages, Georgian and Victorian houses and large modern detached homes. Roofs here call for sympathetic natural slate and stone work, careful leadwork and a finish that matches the value of the property.
Tytherington is a largely twentieth-century suburb on the north side of town, a mix of mid-century semis and later detached homes. The concrete and clay tile roofs here are now at the age for ridge re-bedding, slipped-tile repairs and the occasional full re-roof, along with guttering and fascia renewals.
Gawsworth is a historic village south of Macclesfield, known for its Tudor halls, with period cottages and farmhouses among newer homes. We carry out sympathetic slate and stone roofing, chimney repointing and traditional leadwork on the older property here.
Hurdsfield sits on the north-east side of Macclesfield below the Pennine edge, a mix of post-war estates and older stone property. The concrete tile roofs are at the age for ridge re-bedding and slipped-tile repairs, while the exposed stone roofs need chimney and flashing work to handle the hill weather.
Broken Cross is an established residential suburb on the west of Macclesfield, largely twentieth-century semis and detached homes. We carry out ridge re-bedding, slipped-tile repairs, chimney work and flat-roof renewals on extensions and garages across this part of town.
General
Our yard is at Hallam Mill in Stockport, a quick run over to Macclesfield, so we can usually take a look soon after you call, with nothing added to the price for the distance.
Costs
No. Every Macclesfield roof is seen in person first, because no two are alike, then priced in writing with nothing added later. 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.
Materials
Yes. We source matching tiles, reclaimed and natural slate and stone slate so a repair or re-roof blends with the original rather than leaving an obvious patch in a different colour.
Repairs
Yes, and much of central Macclesfield sits in a conservation area. We work like-for-like in matching materials, keep the original detail, and tell you what needs sign-off before we start so the job is not held up.
Yes, leaking stacks are one of the most common jobs we do on Macclesfield's older terraces and villas. We repoint or rebuild the brickwork and renew the lead flashing, rather than smearing the problem over with sealant.
Planning
Replacing more than half the roof brings it under Building Regulations, usually with an insulation upgrade. We are on an NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so we certify and issue that ourselves, with nothing to lodge with Cheshire East Council.
Insurance
Often, yes. If the roof was sound before a gale off the Pennine edge lifted slates or damaged a stack, most buildings policies will cover the repair. Ring your insurer before work starts, and we can supply photographs and a written report to support the claim. Our guide to roof insurance claims explains what counts as storm damage and the evidence that gets a claim paid.
