Roofers in Wilmslow for new roofs, re-roofing and roof repairs right across SK9, on everything from the period villas and conservation streets near the town centre to the tree-shaded homes of Lindow and the newer tiled estates around Dean Row. Family-run, fully insured, and every quote in writing after we have seen the roof, never a figure over the phone.
Two decades on Wilmslow's roofs have made SK9 one of the busiest corners of our East Cheshire patch. Daniel Scott Roofing is a family-run company with 18 roofers on our own books, a short drive away in Stockport, handling roof repairs, heritage slate re-roofs and flat roofing on the contemporary extensions the town keeps adding. More than 500 completed roofs, a 5 star Google rating and a 10-year workmanship guarantee, with CORC insurance backing on major projects.
Wilmslow's roofs are bigger and more complicated than most. The Victorian and Edwardian villas near the town centre carry several valleys, hand-dressed lead and a great deal of natural slate, much of it inside the conservation area and nearly all of it under heavy tree cover, so valleys block, gutters foul every autumn and shaded slate holds moss. Keeping a roof like that watertight is planned work rather than guesswork, and it is what has us out across Lindow, Fulshaw and Dean Row week after week.
Big, tree-shaded villa roofs need looking after, not guessing at, so we look at every Wilmslow job in person and put a fixed price in writing, never a figure over the phone and never an extra once we have started. We are fully insured, and we guarantee every completed roof in writing. Wilmslow sits under Cheshire East Council, and on a re-roof of more than half the area we certify the Building Regulations ourselves through an NFRC Competent Person Scheme, so there is no council Building Notice for you to file. If you are buying one of the big period houses here, a roof survey is money well spent first, and our guide explains what a flagged roof means before you buy.
Every credential is one we’ve earned through audit, training, or peer review.
The three services we are best known for in Wilmslow, 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 big Wilmslow villa roof is past patching, we strip it back and rebuild in matching natural or reclaimed slate, with fresh lead to the many valleys these SK9 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 Cheshire East Council application to chase.
Across the newer estates and the many rear extensions around Dean Row and Lindow, 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, leaking felt on a dormer or garage gets replaced, not patched over.
Heavy tree cover is what brings us out most in Wilmslow: blocked lead valleys, fouled gutters and slates lifted where water has backed up. We clear and re-line the valleys, refix the slate to match and put the drainage right, so one shaded slope does not turn into a ceiling stain.

View All ServicesWilmslow runs from period villas under heavy trees to newer executive estates, and the roof changes with the street.
The big Victorian and Edwardian villas around the town centre carry roofs with several valleys, hand-dressed lead and a lot of natural slate, much of it on shaded, north-facing slopes that hold moss. Much of this older core sits in a conservation area, so we match slate like-for-like and keep the leadwork and moss removal done properly rather than papered over.
Out towards Lindow and across the leafier suburbs, large detached homes sit under mature trees, so valleys and gutters block with leaves and water backs up under the eaves. We clear and re-line valleys, renew guttering and fascias and carry out the repairs that keep a big, complicated roof watertight through autumn and winter.
Across the newer estates and the many homes extended at the rear, the roofing turns to flat roofs and concrete tile. We lay and re-cover flat roofs on extensions, dormers and garages in EPDM rubber and fibreglass GRP, and re-bed or dry-fix ridges on tile roofs reaching mid-life. Where a covering has finally had its day we quote a full re-roof built to see out the next generation.
Our Promise to You
If water is getting into a home anywhere in Wilmslow or across SK9, 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.
Nothing on a Wilmslow roof is priced from the ground or over the phone. We look at it first, then set out every figure in writing, and the guides below give you real costs for each job before you call.

If we strip a slope back and find a rotten valley board or nail-sick slate under a sound-looking surface, we stop and show you before we spend a penny of it, so the written price is the price you pay.

“We recently had our roof replaced by Daniel Scott Roofing and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. From start to finish the entire process was smooth and efficient, thanks to the expertise and professionalism of Dan. After a previously bad experience with another roofing company, Dan was a breath of fresh air. The team were polite, friendly and incredibly skilled at their craft. We can wholeheartedly recommend Daniel Scott Roofing to anyone in need of roofing services.”
Genuine 5-star Google reviews from Wilmslow and the neighbouring towns we cover, each labelled with the town it came from.
“We are really happy with our new roof and the work Dan and his crew carried out. The working conditions were tough on the lads as space was tight and some hefty roadworks were taking place outside too. Nevertheless, Dan's team were always understanding, flexible and hard working. We've already had some neighbours asking who we used as they like what they have seen and I have had no hesitation in recommending Daniel Scott Roofing for anyone needing a roofer in Bramhall.”
“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 tree-shaded period villas near the centre to the newer homes out towards Lindow and Dean Row, these are the faults that bring us out most across Wilmslow, with how we fix each.

Covering SK9, from the period villas and conservation streets of the town centre out to Lindow, Styal and Dean Row, means we arrive knowing roughly what a roof will need.
Lindow is a sought-after area on the west side of Wilmslow, known for Lindow Common and its larger detached and period homes. Set among mature trees, these roofs see blocked valleys, fouled gutters and moss on the shaded slopes, so they need regular attention to keep the water out.
Styal is a historic village on the edge of Wilmslow, home to Quarry Bank Mill and its National Trust estate, with conservation-area cottages and period homes. Roofs here call for sympathetic slate and stone work and careful leadwork to keep the original character.
Dean Row is a residential area on the north-east side of Wilmslow, largely twentieth-century housing with some newer development. The tile roofs here are reaching the age for ridge re-bedding and slipped-tile repairs, and many have flat-roofed extensions and garages we re-cover in EPDM or GRP.
General
Our yard is at Hallam Mill in Stockport, a short hop from Wilmslow, so we can usually get out to look quickly, and the distance adds nothing to the price.
Costs
No. We come and look at every Wilmslow roof in person first, because no two of these villa 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
Yes, and much of the older heart of Wilmslow is a conservation area. We work like-for-like in matching natural slate, keep the lead and detailing original, and let you know what needs consent before we start.
Cleaning
On the shaded, tree-covered roofs common in Wilmslow, yes, because moss holds water against the slates and blocks the gutters. We remove it by hand and treat the roof with a biocide, and we never jet wash, which strips the weatherproof surface off the tiles.
Planning
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 to submit to Cheshire East Council.
Materials
Yes. We match and source reclaimed natural slate so a repair or re-roof on a period Wilmslow roof blends in rather than leaving an obvious patch. House-hunting in Wilmslow? Our homebuyer guide covers how to get the roof checked before you commit, from a £50 report review to a full independent survey.
Flat Roofs
Yes. The rear extensions, dormers and garages around Dean Row, Lindow and the newer estates mostly carry felt that was never built to last, and we strip these back to a sound deck and re-cover in EPDM rubber or fibreglass GRP, laid in one sealed piece with proper falls and a long written guarantee. See our flat roofing page for systems and typical costs.
