Roof repair, done in one visit where we can
Slipped slates, a cracked valley, a ridge tile lifted by wind, flashing that has come away from the chimney. We carry slate, tile, lead and fixings on the van, so most repairs are finished the same day we come out.
Covers slipped or broken slates, loose ridge tiles, storm damage, failed valleys and flashing repairs.

Roof repair questions we get asked
How quickly can you come out for a leak?
For an active leak we aim to be on site within 48 hours across Kerry, Cork and Limerick. If water is coming into the house we will usually get a temporary cover on the same day and come back to do the permanent repair.
How much does a roof repair cost in Ireland?
Replacing 1 to 5 slipped or broken slates usually costs €150 to €400. Repointing a short section of ridge is typically €250 to €600, and a new lead valley €500 to €1,200. An emergency temporary cover is around €300 to €800. Scaffold, lead work or rotten timber add to the price. We give a fixed price after a free survey.
Do you need scaffolding for a small repair?
Not always. A short ladder-and-roof-ladder job is fine for a handful of slates on a low roof. Scaffold is needed for steep roofs, chimney work, anything at height over a public path, and any job that will take more than a day.
Will you provide a report for an insurance claim?
Yes. For storm damage we photograph the damage, describe the cause and give an itemised cost. Insurers in Ireland generally want to see that the damage was sudden rather than long term wear, and the photos help with that.
Everything we do on a roof
We cover all three counties: roofers in Kerry, roofers in Cork and roofers in Limerick.
What we repair, and what it is made of
Most repairs come down to one of three things: a covering that has worked loose, lead that has split at an abutment, or something on the stack. These pages set out how each is fixed and roughly what it costs.
Not sure whether to repair or replace? Our roof replacement cost guide covers when a repair is the better call.
Send us a photo and we will tell you what it needs
A free survey takes about an hour. You get photos of the roof, a written price and a date.
