Re-roofing a Victorian or Edwardian property in Alderley Edge is not the same job as re-roofing a modern house. Material specification, conservation area compliance, structural assessment of ageing rafter frames, and correct lead work integration all demand specific experience. We have re-roofed extensively in Alderley Edge's conservation area and carry the correct reclaimed materials for like-for-like replacement.
Victorian and Edwardian villas with clay tile and Welsh slate roofs. From £4,000 — free survey and written quote on all work.
Re-roofing an Alderley Edge Victorian or Edwardian villa requires reclaimed Penrhyn or handmade clay plain tile — not concrete substitute. We establish the material requirement and conservation area position before any quote is accepted. The specification is confirmed with the client and, where required, the conservation officer before work begins.

Get a quote →Alderley Edge Victorian properties now 110–150 years old frequently have rafter ends softened by decades of lead valley moisture.

Get a quote →Alderley Edge's tree-canopied plots and shared or restricted access drives require scaffold planning before site visit. We survey access at the quote stage and specify scaffold that protects the property and gardens. Conservation area scaffold on front elevations must not obscure street character — we design accordingly.

Reclaimed slate is correct for conservation area properties where like-for-like replacement is required. New Welsh slate — Heather Blue or Penrhyn — is appropriate where the planning requirement allows new material or the property is outside the conservation area. Reclaimed is marginally cheaper; new material has a more uniform colour and comes with a manufacturer warranty. We advise on the correct choice at survey.
