Slate roof repairs and re-slating in Cheadle
Natural slate is one of the longest-lasting roof coverings there is, which is why so many slate roofs in Cheadle have been up there since the house was built. The weak points are the nails, battens and lead work, and they wear out long before the slate does.
We repair slate roofs by refixing slipped slates, replacing broken ones with matches and renewing lead valleys and flashings. When a roof's fixings have failed across the board, we strip and re-slate, reusing sound slate wherever possible.
Quotes are free, the work is guaranteed and we're fully insured with public liability cover. We've been working on slate for over 20 years.

Slate roofs around Cheadle village
Slate is most common on Cheadle's village-centre period homes and on some of the larger older detached houses. These roofs often have valleys, hips and dormers that need careful lead work. Over the years, some have been patched with mismatched slate or even concrete tiles, which looks wrong and can cause leaks at the joins. Where we can, we put that right.
We work on slate roofs across SK8, including Cheadle village, Gatley, Cheadle Heath and Heaton Mersey. Being about 6 miles from our Manchester office means Cheadle gets the same quick service as the city centre. If your property is in a conservation area, Stockport Council may want slate replaced with slate.
Repair or re-slate?
If a handful of slates have slipped and the rest are firmly held, a repair makes sense. If slates are slipping all over the roof, there are rows of tingles from past repairs, or slates are flaking and soft, the fixings or slates have reached the end and re-slating is better value.
We'll inspect the roof, explain which situation you're in and give you a written quote. Where re-slating, we'll sort the existing slates and tell you how many can be reused.
Slate roof questions in Cheadle
Why do my slates keep slipping one at a time?
Usually nail fatigue. The nails holding each slate have corroded, so slates slide out one by one, often after wind or frost. A few can be refixed, but if it keeps happening across the roof, the fixings have failed generally.
Can you match slate on a period Cheadle house?
We'll reuse your own sound slates first, then source reclaimed or new slate that matches in size, colour and thickness. Getting a good match keeps the roof looking right.
What's the difference between Welsh and other slate?
Welsh slate has a long track record and is often the original material on older north-west roofs. Other natural slates are available too. We'll explain the choices and which suits your property and budget.
My lead valley has split. Can it be repaired?
Small splits can sometimes be patched, but a valley with splits usually needs relining. We lift the slates either side, replace the lead and relay the slates. It's a targeted job that doesn't need a full re-roof.
Can you take concrete tiles off and put slate back?
Yes, on many period homes that's possible. The timbers need checking first. It can improve the look of the house considerably. Check with Stockport Council if you're in a conservation area.
Do you work on slate roofs on larger detached houses?
Yes. Bigger Cheadle homes often have complex slate roofs with hips, valleys and bays. We plan access carefully and take our time on the details.
