Residential roofing

Residential roofing
in Cork.

Roofs for the homes of Cork: terraced houses and semis, estates, extensions and apartments, looked after by our own crews.

01 / About this service

Every kind of roof a home can have

Homes in Cork city have a wide range of roofs. Older streets have natural slate with lead valleys and tall chimneys; mid-century and later estates have concrete tile; extensions, garages and dormers have flat roofs. Each wears out in its own way, which is why the first thing we do is survey the roof in front of us instead of quoting from a price list.

Our residential work covers repairs, complete replacements, new roofs on extensions, flat roofs, chimney work, gutter repairs and written inspections for buyers, owners and landlords. Where a job crosses two of those, you get one survey and one written price.

Everything is done by our own crews with safe access, a fixed price and a written guarantee, and we tell you in writing whether a repair or a replacement is the honest answer.

06 / FAQ

Questions, answered.

Do you work on terraced houses that share walls?

Yes. Access and the order of work are agreed with the neighbours, and the party-wall and parapet flashings are detailed so that mending one house does not push the leak into the next.

How much does a roof repair cost?

As a 2026 guide, a roof leak repair is €400–€2,500, and chimney work is €800–€3,500. A fixed price follows a free survey.

How much does a new roof cost?

Around €8,000–€18,000 for concrete tile and €12,000–€28,000+ for a complete slate roof, as a 2026 guide.

Do you work on apartments?

Where the building's management allows, yes, and we work around the other residents.

What guarantee do I get?

A written 10-year workmanship guarantee on installation work, and the Lifetime Leak Guarantee on a complete roof replacement.

Do you do free surveys?

Yes. A survey for a repair or replacement quote is free. A stand-alone written inspection report is priced when you book.
