Slate roof repairs in Heaton Mersey
The Victorian and Edwardian homes of Heaton Mersey were built with natural slate, and many still have it. A good slate roof can last a very long time, but the nails, battens and lead around it wear out sooner. Our slate roof service in Heaton Mersey keeps these roofs sound, from fixing a few slipped slates to full re-slating.
We're careful with period homes. That means matching slate size and colour, keeping ridges and details in character, and only recommending re-slating when repairs won't do the job.
We have over 20 years' experience. Quotes are free, we're fully insured and all work is guaranteed.

Period slate roofs in Heaton Mersey
Heaton Mersey's Victorian and Edwardian semis and terraces have period slate roofs and chimneys, often with bays, hips and valleys that add complexity. Later tiled homes in the area sit alongside them. On slate roofs, nail fatigue, worn valleys and failing chimney flashings are the most common faults. In a conservation area, Stockport Council is likely to expect slate to be kept.
We repair and re-slate roofs across SK4, including Heaton Moor, Didsbury, Cheadle and Heaton Norris. Being about 5 miles from our Manchester office means Heaton Mersey gets the same quick service as the city centre.
When your slate roof needs work
Slates out of line, broken slate in the gutter, gaps in the courses, or daylight in the loft are signs. Damp on top-floor ceilings, especially near chimneys and valleys, is another.
Call 0800 046 1159 for a free survey. We'll inspect the slates, fixings and leadwork and tell you whether repairs or re-slating make more sense.
Slate roof questions for Heaton Mersey
Is it worth keeping slate on an Edwardian house?
Usually yes. Natural slate suits the period and lasts a long time. Keeping it also helps your house fit in with neighbouring homes, and may be expected in a conservation area.
What's the most common slate roof problem you see?
Nail fatigue, where the original nails rust and slates start sliding out. Once it begins, it spreads. A few slates can be refixed with tingles, but widespread slipping usually means re-slating.
Can you repair a slate roof with decorative ridges?
Yes. Many period homes have decorative ridge tiles or finials. We lift and rebed them carefully, and replace damaged ones with a similar style where possible.
Should I choose new or reclaimed slate?
Reclaimed slate often matches older roofs well. New natural slate gives consistent quality. We'll explain the options and prices for your roof.
Can a slate roof be repaired from inside the loft?
Not properly. Some people use foam or sealants from inside, but that can trap moisture and makes future repairs harder. Repairs should be done from outside.
Do you work on slate roofs in Heaton Moor and Didsbury too?
Yes. We cover all of the Heatons, Didsbury and Cheadle, where there are many period slate roofs with similar needs.
