Poynton's popular commuter village blends older characterful properties with significant recent residential development throughout SK12. We provide quality roofing services for both established family homes and newer builds, with a reputation in the village for reliability and tidy workmanship.
Poynton sits right on the Cheshire edge of the Peak District, and the roofs here take the weather for it. Up around Higher Poynton, where the houses back onto the Macclesfield Canal and the Middlewood Way, there is little shelter from the wind and driving rain, so storm repairs, ridge work and flashings come round often. On Park Lane we recently replaced a failing lead bay roof, stripping it to the timber and re-laying Code 5 lead over wood-core rolls so a south-facing bay can expand and contract without splitting at the joints.
Poynton grew up as a colliery village, so there is real variety here, older characterful cottages that want traditional slate and chimney work sitting next to large modern estates whose roofs are now reaching the age where things start to slip. We cover both, from a one-off repair to a full re-roof or the roofing for a loft conversion. You get a proper look at the roof and a written price, never a guess over the phone. Poynton sits within our wider East Cheshire roofing patch, so you get a team that already knows the Cheshire-edge housing stock inside out.
The three services we are best known for in Poynton, 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 Poynton
When a roof in Poynton 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 Poynton 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 Poynton. 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.

“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!”

“Dan and his team have just completed a full re-roof on my 1930s property just in time for winter. It is really difficult to find reliable tradespeople, and I had previously been messed about by a roofer, so coming across Dan restored the faith! He was quick to come and quote, and kept me in the loop throughout while we waited a few months for him to finish other jobs. Dan and his team got the job done efficiently, and within the confirmed quote price. We are really pleased with the final finish, we now have the best looking roof on the street. I would recommend Dan and his team.”

“After several attempts to find a roofer we came across Daniel Scott via a neighbour. We were very glad we did, Daniel and his team were excellent. We employed Daniel to re-roof my 93 year old mother-in-law's roof. He and his team were very methodical and tidy and got the job done in next to no time and through some challenging cold weather (heavy morning frost). We would like to thank him and his team for a job well done.”
Poynton runs from exposed canal-side homes in Higher Poynton to large modern estates near the centre. These are the faults that bring us out most often.
01
Storm and Wind Damage on Exposed Roofs
What you'll notice
Tiles in the garden after a blow, a slipped ridge, or a sudden leak that follows the wind direction.
Why it's so common here:
Higher Poynton and the homes near the canal and Middlewood Way sit out in the open with little to break the wind, so ridge tiles, flashings and the odd slate take a beating in a Cheshire gale.
How we fix it:
We re-bed and re-point ridges, renew lifted flashings in lead, and refix or replace damaged tiles, and we can put a report together if you are claiming on insurance.
Water staining a wall beside a bay window, or a damp line where two roof slopes meet.
Why it's so common here:
Poynton's older cottages and character homes were built with lead bay roofs and valley linings that have now flexed and split after decades of heat and cold.
How we fix it:
We strip the tired lead and re-lay Code 5 lead over wood-core rolls with proper expansion joints, so it moves with the seasons instead of cracking.
Concrete tiles slipping or cracking, mortar crumbling on the ridge, and the first damp patches inside.
Why it's so common here:
A lot of Poynton went up in the post-war and later building waves, and those roofs are now at the age where individual repairs stop keeping pace with the wear.
How we fix it:
Where a slope has gone past patching we quote for a full re-roof on fresh membrane and battens, built to see out the next generation of owners.
Period property on Park Lane suffering from persistent water ingress around a failing bay window roof. We stripped back to the timber deck, replaced damaged boarding, and installed Code 5 lead sheet dressed over traditional wood-core rolls. The rolls let the lead expand and contract with temperature instead of splitting at the joints, which is what kills cheaper modern alternatives on a south-facing bay. The right specification for a character home: matches the period detailing of the surrounding stonework and delivers a 60+ year service life with no membrane replacement cycle to plan for.
Rear Dormer Conversion & Master Suite
A semi-detached home transformed with a full-width rear dormer designed to maximise internal headroom, turning a cramped attic into a multi-room space with a luxury en-suite. External finishing in matching hanging tiles to blend with the original property, while the flat roof section received a high-performance EPDM rubber covering for long-term durability.
Roofing Across Poynton and the Surrounding Villages
An exposed roof in Higher Poynton needs something different to a modern estate roof near the centre. Covering the whole of SK12 means we know what is coming before we pull up.
Roofing in Higher Poynton
Higher Poynton sits to the east of the village, a more semi-rural setting alongside the Macclesfield Canal and the Middlewood Way, with detached homes, bungalows and the occasional barn conversion. Properties here are more exposed to open countryside and wind, so we regularly handle storm-damage repairs, ridge work and weatherproof re-roofs built to cope with that exposure.
Roofing in Worth
Worth is the historic half of the Poynton-with-Worth parish and now an established residential part of the village, mixing older characterful cottages with later family housing around streets like Vernon Road. We work across this area on everything from traditional slate and tile repairs to flat-roof renewals on extensions and outbuildings.
Roofing in Lower Park
A settled residential pocket near the centre of Poynton, Lower Park is dominated by solid 1930s and 1940s semi-detached and detached homes within easy reach of Poynton station. These pre-war and early post-war roofs are a common sight for us, whether it is overhauling ageing tiled coverings or upgrading tired felt flat roofs on dormers and garages.
Roofing in Hockley
Hockley lies on the eastern side of Poynton and has seen newer detached family homes built alongside its older properties, set close to Hockley Park. We cover the full range here, from maintaining established tiled roofs to fitting modern GRP fibreglass and EPDM coverings on extensions and garages.
Roofing in Midway
At the northern edge of Poynton heading towards Hazel Grove, Midway is a settled residential pocket of family homes, semis and apartments. We handle everyday work here from slipped tiles and chimney repointing to flat roof renewals on extensions and garages, as well as full re-roofs on properties showing their age.
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 tile, a split flashing, or eroded pointing on the exposed side of a stack. It is common on the exposed roofs around Higher Poynton and the canal. We trace the actual entry point rather than guessing, so the repair holds.
Insurance
Can I claim for storm damage to my Poynton roof?
Often, yes. If the roof was sound before a storm lifted tiles or damaged a stack, most policies cover it. Call your insurer before work starts and we can supply photographs and a written report to support the claim and get things moving.
General
Do you cover the newer estates as well as the older village?
We do. Poynton is a real mix, and we work on everything from canal-side cottages to the modern developments near the centre whose roofs are now starting to need repairs or a re-roof. We help buyers across SK12 too: if a survey has flagged the roof on a house you are purchasing, our guide to a roof survey when buying a house covers your options.
Is Poynton too far for you to cover?
Not at all. We are out to SK12 regularly from our base at Hallam Mill in Stockport, so there is no travel premium in the price and we can usually get to you quickly when something needs looking at.
