Reddish's Victorian and Edwardian terraces across SK5 represent some of the oldest housing stock in the Stockport area. Our teams are experienced with the traditional slate and chimney work these properties demand.
Reddish is our bread-and-butter roofing territory, we've been working across the SK5 postcode for over twenty years, and the sheer density of Victorian and Edwardian housing here means there's rarely a week we're not up on a roof somewhere in the area. The bay-fronted period terraces running along Reddish Road, Thornley Lane South, and the streets off Gorton Road share a common story: original slate that's been doing its job since the late 1800s but is now reaching the end of the line, chimney stacks where the pointing has eroded down to almost nothing, and lead flashings around bay tops that have split and started letting water track down internal walls. These houses were well built, but over a century of Manchester weather takes its toll on even the best roofwork, and cutting corners on a repair usually means paying twice.
Further into South Reddish, the 1930s and post-war semis along the quieter residential roads bring a different set of recurring jobs. We regularly replace flat roofs on rear extensions that have long outlived their original felt coverings, re-bed ridge tiles on concrete tile roofs where the mortar has crumbled away, and sort out fascias and guttering that have been left until water is visibly running down brickwork. Where homeowners are looking to add space, we also carry out the roofing element of loft conversions, something these properties lend themselves to particularly well given the roof pitches involved.
We're a family-run outfit and we don't complicate things. Every job begins with a written quote that covers exactly what's needed and what it costs, no grey areas, no surprise additions halfway through. We carry full insurance, we back all our work with a guarantee, and we'll always be straight with you about whether a repair is genuinely the right answer or whether sorting the underlying problem properly now will save you repeated call-outs down the line. Our base at Hallam Mill in Stockport means SK5 is right on our doorstep, no inflated travel costs and usually a quick turnaround when you need someone to come and take a look.
The three services we are best known for in Reddish, 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 Reddish
When a roof in Reddish 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 Reddish 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 Reddish. 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.

★★★★★
“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!”
Making up the northern part of the area around North Reddish station, this district is dominated by densely packed Victorian and Edwardian terraces alongside inter-war semis. We spend a lot of time here re-slating tired period roofs, repointing chimney stacks, and renewing the lead flashings on bay tops that have started letting water track inside.
Roofing in South Reddish
South Reddish blends older terraced streets with later 1930s and post-war semis, giving a real mix of roofing work. We regularly re-bed crumbling ridge tiles on concrete tile roofs, replace ageing felt flat roofs on rear extensions, and sort out failing fascias and guttering before water reaches the brickwork.
Roofing in Houldsworth
Centred on Houldsworth Square, this is Reddish's Victorian model village of red-brick mill workers' terraces, much of it within the designated Houldsworth Conservation Area. The original 1870s to 1890s slate roofs and ornate chimney stacks need sympathetic repair, so we carry out lime repointing, traditional slate work, and proper leadwork in keeping with the area's protected character.
Roofing in Reddish Vale
The residential streets along the edge of Reddish Vale Country Park are made up largely of semi-detached family homes and bungalows overlooking the valley. The open green setting leaves these roofs exposed to wind and heavy leaf fall, so we handle a steady run of storm-damage repairs, slipped tiles, and guttering blocked by debris from the park's mature trees.
