Expert Roof Replacement Specialists in Stockport
Premium New Roof Installations for Stockport’s Residential Districts. All Work Comes With An Insurance Backed Guarantee.
Trusted Roofing Excellence for the Stockport Community
Stockport is a town defined by its heritage and its growth. From the historic villas of Edgeley and the Heatons to the substantial family homes in Offerton and Hazel Grove, Stockport’s housing stock is as diverse as it is historic. At Sure Choice Roofing, we provide a roofing service that respects this history while delivering the highest standards of modern protection.
We specialise exclusively in full roof replacements. We have moved away from the “patch-and-repair” model because we believe Stockport homeowners deserve a permanent solution to roofing failure. Our “Strip-to-Rafters” approach ensures that your home is protected by modern materials—including breathable membranes and treated timbers—while retaining the classic aesthetic that defines your neighbourhood.
Our Discrete, Tech-Led Exterior Survey Process
We understand that Stockport is a busy hub and homeowners value their time. We have modernised the traditional roofing quote process to be entirely non-intrusive, allowing us to assess your property without ever needing to enter your home.
● No Internal Access Required: We conduct our technical surveys 100% from the exterior. We do not need to enter your home or climb into your loft, meaning you don’t need to take time off work for our visit.
● Precision Technical Mapping: Using high-resolution photography and aerial imagery, we identify specific failure points such as “nail sickness” in slates, perished bitumen felt, or failing leadwork in valleys and chimneys.
● Fixed-Price Agreement: Within 24-48 hours of our assessment, you will receive a transparent, fixed-price agreement. This isn’t a “rough estimate”—it is a guaranteed price for a complete project, ensuring no hidden extras mid-build.
Tailored Roofing for Stockport’s Diverse Housing Stock
Stockport’s architecture spans over a century of styles. Replacing these roofs requires an deep understanding of both traditional materials and modern structural engineering.
Natural Slate Specialists
The majority of Stockport’s period homes, particularly in the SK1 and SK4 areas, were originally roofed in natural slate. After 80 to 100 years, the original nails 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 last for generations.
Traditional Clay & Rosemary Tiling
For properties in Stockport’s popular 1930s suburbs, clay tiles are a signature feature. We source high-density clay tiles that match the heritage colour palettes of the area, ensuring your new roof is aesthetically perfect and highly resistant to the North West’s wind and rain.
Bespoke Leadwork & Dry-Fix Systems
Complex rooflines with multiple gables and large chimney stacks are common in Stockport. We replace all failing lead with new British Standard lead, hand-dressed to ensure a watertight seal. Furthermore, we utilise Dry-Fix ridge systems, which replace old-fashioned mortar with a mechanical fixing that is maintenance-free and will not crack over time.

Our Installation Process Includes:
1. Full Strip-Back: We remove every old tile/slate and the original perishing felt, exposing the timber rafters for inspection from the exterior.

internal condensation.

standards.
Protecting Your Stockport Property Investment
Stockport properties represent significant investments. In a competitive property market, a failing or poorly patched roof can be a major hurdle during a surveyor’s inspection.
A Sure Choice Roof, comes with an Insurance Backed Guarantee, which acts as a badge of quality. It provides total peace of mind for you as a homeowner and serves as a powerful asset if you ever decide to sell, ensuring your property valuation remains high. Additionally, our modern roofing systems significantly improve your home’s “thermal envelope,” helping to retain heat and reduce energy costs.
Warning Signs for Stockport Homeowners
If your property is over 40 years old, it is likely reaching the end of its design life. Keep an eye out for these indicators of failure:
● Debris in the Gutters: Finding slate chips or tile grit in your gutters means the materials are disintegrating and becoming porous.
● Slipped or Missing Tiles: Indicates that the underlying fixings have failed and the entire slope may be compromised.
● Damp on Upper Floors: Small patches of damp on ceilings or around chimneys 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 internal timbers.
