Trusted Roofers in Wilmslow for New Roofs & Repairs
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.
Wilmslow is somewhere we work week in, week out, and two decades on SK9 roofs means we know its housing inside out. From the large Victorian and Edwardian villas and 1930s detached homes near the town centre to the executive houses out towards Lindow, these are big roofs under heavy tree cover, so valleys block with leaves, gutters foul autumn after autumn and north-facing natural slate never quite dries out and holds moss. That makes for steady roof repairs and roof cleaning, alongside the heritage slate re-roofs and fibreglass flat roofs on contemporary extensions the premium market here expects, all of it under the same roofing team working across East Cheshire.
Big, tree-shaded villa roofs need looking after, not guessing at, so we survey 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 family-run, 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.
Our Roofing Services in Wilmslow
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.
New Roofs in Wilmslow
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.
Roofing in Wilmslow: What We Know About Your Streets
Wilmslow runs from period villas under heavy trees to newer executive estates, and the roof changes with the street.
The Period Villas and Town-Centre Conservation Area
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.
Lindow, Fulshaw and the Leafy Suburbs
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.
The Newer Estates and Contemporary Extensions
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.
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.

“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.
01
Blocked Valleys and Leaks Under Heavy Trees
What you'll notice
A damp patch on an upstairs ceiling after heavy rain, or water staining where two roof slopes meet.
Why it's so common here:
Wilmslow's big period villas sit under mature trees, so leaves wash into the lead valleys and gutters and clog them, and water backs up under the slates instead of running away.
How we fix it:
We clear and re-line the valleys, often in fresh lead, refix any slates the backed-up water has lifted, and sort the guttering so the roof drains as it should.
Thick green moss across the shaded slopes, blocked gutters full of fallen moss, and slates staying wet long after rain.
Why it's so common here:
The heavy tree cover and shade across SK9 keep north-facing slate damp, and moss takes hold, holds water against the roof and washes down to block the gutters.
How we fix it:
We remove moss by hand, never with a jet wash that strips the surface off the tiles, then treat the roof with a biocide to slow it coming back, and clear the gutters while we are up there.
Water sheeting down the wall in heavy rain, green staining on the brickwork, or gutters visibly full of leaves and moss.
Why it's so common here:
The heavy tree cover across Wilmslow drops leaves into the gutters and valleys all autumn, and once they block, rainwater overflows behind the fascia and down the wall instead of away from the house.
How we fix it:
We clear and reseal or renew the guttering and downpipes, fit leaf guards where they help, and put right any fascia or soffit the overflow has rotted.
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.
Roofing in Lindow
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.
Roofing in Styal
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.
Roofing in Dean Row
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.
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
Will you give me a price over the phone?
No. We survey 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
Do you work on conservation-area and period roofs?
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
Should I have the moss removed from my roof?
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
Do I need to tell Cheshire East Council about a re-roof?
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
Can you match the slate on an older Wilmslow roof?
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.
