Roofers in Offerton for new roofs, re-tiles and roof repairs across SK2, from the older slate terraces off Hall, Celtic and Carnarvon Street to the 1950s and 1960s concrete tile estates of Offerton Park and Bosden Farm. Family-run, fully insured, and every quote in writing after we have seen the roof, never a figure over the phone.
If you need a roofer in Offerton, there's a good chance we've already worked on a house in your street, we cover the SK1 and SK2 postcodes consistently and have done for more than two decades. What makes Offerton interesting from a roofing perspective is just how many different eras of building sit alongside each other. The older terraces around Hall Street, Celtic Street, and Carnarvon Street tend to have the classic issues you'd expect from Victorian-era roofs, deteriorating natural slate, lead flashing failures around chimney breasts, and mortar joints in ridge and hip tiles that have been gradually washing out for decades.
Move out towards Lisburne Lane, Dovedale Road, and the Bosden Farm side of the area, and the housing jumps forward a generation or two. The 1950s and 1960s estates that make up much of this part of Offerton were largely roofed with concrete interlocking tiles, and many of these are now at the stage where individual tiles crack and slip faster than they can be swapped out, a sign the whole slope needs attention rather than another patchwork fix. We also see a steady run of flat roof replacements on rear kitchen extensions, guttering overhauls where the original cast-iron or early plastic has failed, and structural roofing work tied to loft conversions where families are building upwards rather than moving.
How we work doesn't change from one end of Offerton to the other. You get an honest assessment and a detailed written quote before anything starts, free, no obligation, and no pressure to commit on the spot. We're fully insured, every job carries a workmanship guarantee, and if a repair will genuinely see you right for years to come, that's what we'll recommend rather than pushing you towards a bigger job you don't need. Hallam Mill in Stockport is our base, so we're practically local to SK1 and SK2, no hidden call-out charges and no long waits when a problem needs looking at quickly.

Our Roofing Services in Offerton
The three services we are best known for in Offerton, 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 Offerton
A lot of the 1950s and 1960s concrete interlocking tile roofs across Offerton Park and Bosden Farm are now at the point where slipped and cracked tiles come faster than they can be swapped, so we strip them back and re-tile the whole slope, fitted by our own team and signed off to Building Regulations under our NFRC Competent Person Scheme, with no council application to chase.
The rear kitchen extensions, garages and dormers common across SK2 are where we do most of our flat roofing, re-covering tired felt in EPDM rubber or fibreglass GRP in one sealed piece with proper falls and a long written guarantee, rather than patching a covering that has already had its day.
On the older slate terraces off Hall, Celtic and Carnarvon Street it is failed lead flashing round the chimney and washed-out ridge mortar that brings us out most, so we renew the flashings, re-bed the ridge and refix the slipped slates before a small fault turns into a stained ceiling.
Roofing in Offerton: What We Know About Your Streets
Offerton runs from Victorian slate terraces to post-war concrete tile estates, and the roof changes with the street.
The Older Terraces off Hall, Celtic and Carnarvon Street
The Victorian-era terraces around Hall Street, Celtic Street and Carnarvon Street carry natural slate that is now well past its best, with lead flashing failing round the chimney breasts and ridge and hip mortar washed out over the decades. We renew the leadwork, re-bed the ridges and carry out the slate repairs that keep an ageing terrace roof watertight rather than patched.
Offerton Park, Bosden Farm and the Post-War Estates
Out across Offerton Park, Bosden Farm and the streets off Lisburne Lane and Dovedale Road, the 1950s and 1960s housing was roofed in concrete interlocking tile, much of it now at the age where tiles crack and slip faster than they can be swapped. Where a slope is genuinely finished we quote a full re-tile in a matching profile, and on the more exposed Bosden Farm edge we sort the weather-driven ridge and flashing repairs as they come.
Extensions, Guttering and Loft Conversions
Right across Offerton the rear kitchen extensions, garages and dormers bring us out for flat roofing, which we lay and re-cover in EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP. We also renew the tired cast-iron and early plastic guttering that fails on the older streets, and carry out the structural roofing tied to loft conversions where families are building up rather than moving.
If water is getting into a home anywhere in Offerton or across SK2, 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 Offerton quote is itemised in writing after a proper survey. For real numbers by job, see the cost guide on each service page.

★★★★★
“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!”
“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!”
From the Victorian slate terraces off Hall Street to the concrete tile estates around Offerton Park and Bosden Farm, these are the faults that bring us out most across Offerton, with how we fix each.
01
Slipped and Cracked Concrete Tiles
What you'll notice
Tiles out of line on the slope, bits of tile in the gutter or on the drive, and the odd damp patch appearing upstairs.
Why it's so common here:
The 1950s and 1960s concrete interlocking tiles across Offerton Park and Bosden Farm are reaching the end of their life, so they grow porous and brittle and start slipping faster than they can be swapped one by one.
How we fix it:
Where only a few have gone we refix and replace to match, but once slipping is the pattern across the slope we strip and re-tile the whole roof in a matching profile so it stops for good.
Failed Chimney Flashing and Washed-Out Ridge Mortar
What you'll notice
A damp patch on the chimney-breast wall inside, or loose ridge tiles and crumbling mortar visible along the top of the roof.
Why it's so common here:
On the older terraces off Hall, Celtic and Carnarvon Street the lead flashing round the chimney and the sand-and-cement bedding under the ridge tiles have been weathering for decades, so water finds its way past both.
How we fix it:
We renew the flashing in hand-dressed lead and re-bed or dry-fix the ridge, so the two spots most likely to let water in on an older Offerton roof are put right properly.
A brown ring on the kitchen or garage ceiling, ponding water that never quite drains, or felt that has blistered and split.
Why it's so common here:
The rear extensions, dormers and garages common across SK2 were often finished in mineral felt that hardens, cracks and lets go once it is past its years, especially where the falls were never quite right.
How we fix it:
We strip back to the deck, replace any soft boarding and correct the falls, then lay a seamless EPDM rubber or fibreglass GRP covering in one piece with a long written guarantee.
Water sheeting down the wall in heavy rain, green staining on the brickwork, or gutters visibly sagging away from the fascia.
Why it's so common here:
Many older Offerton streets still carry heavy cast-iron or early plastic guttering that rusts, splits and pulls loose, so rainwater overflows behind the fascia and runs down the wall instead of away from the house.
How we fix it:
We renew the guttering and downpipes in modern UPVC on proper falls, and put right any fascia or soffit the overflow has rotted so the roofline sheds water cleanly again.

Recent Roofing Work in Offerton
GRP Fibreglass Flat Roof and Skylight
Rear extension in Offerton with an aging mineral felt covering reaching end of life, plus a new rooflight planned to bring daylight into the kitchen below. We stripped back to the deck, replaced damaged boarding and corrected the falls, then laid a fully-bonded GRP fibreglass system finished with an integrated upstand around a new Velux flat-roof skylight. Fibreglass was the right call over EPDM here. The tight detailing around the rooflight kerb and the foot traffic that comes with future glazing maintenance both favour a hard-wearing, seamless laminate over a single-ply membrane. Walkable, fully sealed, and a 25 to 30 year service life with the rooflight bonded into the laminate rather than relying on a sealant joint.
Covering SK2, from the older slate terraces near Hall Street out to the concrete tile estates of Offerton Park and Bosden Farm, means we arrive knowing roughly what a roof will need.
Roofing in Offerton Green
Offerton Green grew up around the original scattered hamlet along Marple Road and is now a settled residential neighbourhood of family homes in the north-east of the SK2 area. We regularly carry out re-tiles, gutter renewals and chimney repairs on the mix of older and post-war housing here.
Roofing in Offerton Park
Offerton Park is a 1960s housing estate within Offerton, made up largely of terraced and semi-detached homes laid out across interconnecting streets. The mid-century construction means ageing roof coverings and flat-roofed extensions are common, so we handle plenty of re-roofs, felt-to-GRP flat roof upgrades and routine repairs across the estate.
Roofing in Bosden Farm
Sitting on the southern edge of Offerton towards Hazel Grove and Marple, Bosden Farm is a suburban estate of mostly semi-detached and terraced homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s. Its exposed, semi-rural setting beside open farmland means we often deal with weather-related ridge and flashing repairs alongside full re-tiles on the original roofs.
Roofing in Dialstone Lane
The Dialstone Lane area on the northern side of Offerton is lined with substantial semi-detached and terraced homes, many dating to the early 1900s, alongside pockets of newer infill housing. We frequently re-slate and re-tile these ageing pitched roofs and renew worn chimney flashings and pointing on the older properties here.
Our yard is at Hallam Mill in Stockport, only minutes from Offerton, 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 Offerton roof in person first, because no two of these 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.
Materials
Should I repair or fully re-tile my concrete tile roof?
If only a handful of tiles have slipped we refix and replace to match. But once the concrete tiles across Offerton Park or Bosden Farm are slipping faster than you can swap them, they have gone porous and it is more cost-effective to re-tile the whole slope than to keep patching it.
Repairs
Do you fix leaks around chimneys on the older terraces?
Yes, that is one of the most common jobs on the older slate terraces off Hall and Celtic Street. We renew the lead flashing round the stack and re-bed the ridge, which is usually where the water is getting in.
Can you re-cover a leaking flat roof on my extension?
Yes. We strip the old felt back to the deck, correct the falls and replace any soft boarding, then lay a seamless EPDM rubber or fibreglass GRP covering on the extension or garage, sealed in one piece with a long written guarantee.
Planning
Do I need to tell the council about a re-roof in Offerton?
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
Is it worth renewing old guttering on an Offerton house?
On the older streets the original cast-iron or early plastic guttering rusts, splits and pulls away, and overflow rots the fascia behind it. Renewing it in modern UPVC guttering on proper falls protects the wall and roofline and usually costs far less than the damage that follows a blocked or broken run.
