What the mountains do to Killarney roofs
Killarney gets some of the heaviest rainfall in the country, and the shelter of the trees around the lakes keeps roofs damp for longer.
Heavy moss on north-facing slopes and under trees, which holds water against tiles and blocks gutters
Lead and flashings on older period buildings that have reached the end of their life
Rooflights and skylights on extensions and dormers that have started to leak at the upstand
Chimneys that are no longer used and let rain straight down the flue
Gutters and downpipes undersized for the amount of rain that comes off a big roof
Where a roof sits under trees we clear the gutters and valleys as part of the job, and tell you how often they will need doing.
Areas we cover around Killarney
No call-out charge anywhere in the Killarney area. If you are further out, ring anyway.
The roofs we see most in Killarney
Guesthouses, B&Bs and holiday homes where the work has to fit around bookings
Period slate roofs in the town centre that need re-slating rather than patching
Estate houses with concrete tile due for repair, cleaning and coating
Properties near the National Park and in conservation areas where the covering has to match
Like-for-like re-roofing is normally exempt from planning. If the property is protected or in a conservation area and you want to change the material, check with Kerry County Council first. We flag it at the survey.
Roofing work we do in Killarney
Roofing in Killarney, asked and answered
Can you work around guests at a B&B or holiday let?
Yes. Tell us your booking dates and we plan the scaffold and the noisy part of the job around them. Small repairs are usually done in a single visit.
How quickly can you get to a leak in Killarney?
Usually within 24 to 48 hours. If water is coming in, we put a temporary cover on first and come back for the permanent repair when the weather allows.
Do I need planning permission to re-roof in Killarney?
Like-for-like replacement is normally exempt. Protected structures and properties in an architectural conservation area may need permission from Kerry County Council to change the material or profile. We will tell you at survey stage if that might apply.
How much does roofing work cost in Killarney?
Small repairs usually start at €150 to €400. A full re-roof on a typical three-bed semi is usually €11,000 to €18,000 including VAT. The survey is free and you get a fixed written price.
