Expert Roof Replacement Specialists in Marple
High Quality New Roof Installations for Marple’s
Residences.
All Work Comes With An Insurance Backed Guarantee.
Trusted Roofing Excellence for the Marple Community
Marple is a location that demands structural resilience. Positioned at a higher elevation on the edge of the Cheshire Plain, properties in Marple face more frequent driving rain and higher wind speeds than more central urban areas. At Sure Choice Roofing, we understand that in the SK6 postcode, your roof is the most critical line of defence for your property.
We specialise exclusively in full roof replacements. On properties of the age and exposure found in Marple—from the traditional stone-built terraces near the canal to the large detached homes in Marple Bridge—”patch repairs” are often a temporary mask for deeper structural failure. We provide a complete “strip-to-rafter” service that addresses the root cause of leaks, ensuring your home remains a dry, secure sanctuary for decades.
Our Discrete, Tech-Led Exterior Survey Process
We recognise that Marple residents value their privacy and the quiet nature of their community. Our survey process has been modernised to be entirely non-intrusive, requiring no access to the interior of your property.
● Non-Intrusive Surveys: We conduct our technical assessments 100% from the exterior. We do not need to enter your home or climb into your loft space, allowing you to maintain your daily routine without interruption.
● Precision Technical Mapping: Using high-resolution photography and aerial imagery, we identify specific failure points common in the SK6 area, such as “nail sickness” in historic slates, porous clay tiles, and perishing bitumen felt.
● Fixed-Price Agreement: Within 24-48 hours of our inspection, we provide a transparent, fixed-price agreement. This ensures total financial certainty—the price we quote is the final price for a completed, guaranteed project.
Specialist Materials for Marple’s Architecture
Marple’s architecture is defined by its use of robust materials and sturdy construction. Replacing these roofs requires a deep understanding of traditional aesthetics combined with modern engineering.
Natural Slate and Heritage Tiling
Many of Marple’s historic terraces and villas were originally roofed in natural slate. After a century of exposure, the original fixings often perish. We specialise in full slate replacements using premium Welsh or Spanish Slate, providing a roof that looks original but is secured with modern, rust-proof fixings to withstand the higher wind loads of the Peak District fringes.
Modern Interlocking Tiles for Suburban Homes
For the popular residential developments and 1930s semis in the area, modern interlocking concrete or clay tiles offer a highly durable and cost-effective solution. These are engineered for maximum weather resistance and are available in a variety of tones to match the local Cheshire brick and stone.
Bespoke Leadwork and Dry-Fix Systems
Marple roofs often feature substantial chimney stacks and complex valleys. We replace all failing lead with new British Standard lead, hand-dressed for a permanent waterproof seal. Every Sure Choice installation also utilises Dry-Fix ridge and verge systems, providing a maintenance-free mechanical finish that replaces traditional mortar, which is notoriously prone to cracking in exposed hillside locations.

The Sure Choice Commitment
A roof replacement is a significant investment, but it shouldn’t be a drawn-out ordeal. By specialising purely in full replacements, we have refined our workflow to be the most efficient in Stockport. Most Marple projects are completed within our clients timelines.
Our “Strip-to-Rafters” Workflow:
1. Full Strip-Back: We remove every old tile/slate and the original perishing felt, stripping the building back to the timber rafters for an exterior structural inspection.
2. Exterior Timber Check: We check for signs of rot or structural sagging from the outside, reinforcing the timber where necessary to ensure your new roof has a perfectly level foundation.
3. High-Performance Infrastructure: We install high-tensile breathable membranes and pressure-treated timber battens. This allows air to circulate, preventing damp and rot in your roof space.
4. Weather-Proof Finishing: Using precision-laid materials and bespoke leadwork, we create a watertight seal that stands the test of time.
Protecting Your Property Value in the SK6 Postcode
Marple properties are valuable assets. In the local property market, a roof is a primary focus for surveyors. A home with a failing or poorly patched roof can be a major hurdle during a sale or valuation.
A Sure Choice Roof, all work comes with an Insurance Backed Guarantee, which acts as a badge of quality. It provides total confidence for the homeowner and serves as a powerful asset should you ever decide to sell, demonstrating that the property has been maintained to the highest possible professional standards. Furthermore, our modern roofing systems improve your home’s energy efficiency—a vital consideration for the stone-built and older properties common in the area.
Warning Signs for Marple Homeowners
If your property is over 40 years old, keep an eye out for these indicators of failure:
● Grit in the Gutters: Finding sand-like grit in your gutters means the protective surface of your tiles is eroding and they are becoming porous.
● Slipped or Missing Slates: A clear sign that the underlying fixings have failed and the entire slope may be compromised.
● Internal Water Staining: Damp patches on top-floor ceilings or in the corners of rooms are the final warning that your secondary protection (the felt) has failed.
Our non-intrusive survey is the most effective way to identify these issues before they lead to expensive structural damage to your rafters or interior ceilings.
Frequently Asked Questions for Marple Residents
How do you handle the wind loads on Marple’s hillsides?
Properties in more exposed elevations require specific fixing methods. We ensure that our tile and slate installations exceed the standard requirements for wind resistance, using high-quality mechanical fixings and heavy-duty battens.
Do you provide a full guarantee?
Yes. Every new roof we install in Marple is covered by our comprehensive Insurance Backed Guarantee, covering both our craftsmanship and the premium materials used.
Will you handle the leadwork around my chimney
Yes. Every full replacement includes the removal of old, tired lead and the installation of new, British Standard Code 4 lead flashings. This is essential for preventing leaks in the junctions where the roof meets the masonry.
