Services
Roofing services in Kerry, Cork and Limerick Everything we do on a roof, and how we do it
Five main services, plus the work that goes with them: chimneys, gutters, lead, cladding and attic insulation. Prices are quoted per job after we have seen the roof.
If you already know what you need, ring 085 220 1422 and we will price it.
●
01 New roof
Design and construction of new roofs
For new builds, extensions, garden rooms and dormer conversions. We set out the pitch, cut and fit the timbers, then build up membrane, battens and covering in the material you have chosen. More about new roofs
◆
Rafters, purlins and firrings cut on site
◆
Breather membrane and treated battens
◆
Slate, tile, standing seam or GRP finish
◆
Lead valleys, verges and abutments
◆
Fascia, soffit and seamless gutter fitted
●
02 Re-roofing
Strip, repair the structure, re-cover
Most houses we work on are 40 to 100 years old. The slate is at the end of its life, the nails are gone and the felt underneath has torn. We take it back to the timbers, replace what is soft, and re-cover the whole roof. More about re-roofing
◆
Old covering and felt taken off and skipped
◆
Rafter ends and wall plates checked for rot
◆
Ridge and hips rebedded and repointed
◆
New lead to chimneys and party walls
◆
Scaffold and debris netting included
●
03 Roof repair
Small jobs done properly
Slipped slates after a storm, a cracked valley, a ridge tile that has come loose, flashing that has lifted. We carry slate, tile, lead and fixings on the van, so most repairs are done the same visit. More about roof repair
◆
Storm damage and insurance reports
◆
Ridge and hip repointing
◆
Valley and flashing renewal
◆
Gutter, downpipe and fascia repair
◆
Chimney rebuild, capping and pots
●
04 Leak detection
Find the cause, not the stain
A wet patch on a bedroom ceiling is often two metres from the hole. We start in the attic with a torch, follow the track back up the felt, then wet test the suspect area from outside until we can prove where it comes in. More about leak detection
◆
Attic inspection and moisture check
◆
Hose test on the suspect section
◆
Photo report of what is actually failing
◆
Repair the cause, then retest before we leave
●
05 Roof painting
Clean, repoint, then coat
Concrete tiles go porous and green long before they go bad. We wash the roof down, clear the gutters of the moss that comes off, repoint ridges and verges, then roll on two coats of breathable coating in the colour you pick. More about roof painting
◆
Full moss removal and wash down
◆
Broken tiles swapped before coating
◆
Two coats, brush finished at the edges
◆
Gutters and driveway cleaned after
