Roofing for homes
in Limerick.

Terraced houses, semis, estate houses, apartments and extensions: what each kind of roof needs, and a written price for it.

01 / About this service

A roof for every kind of house in the city

Limerick's housing is a mix. There are red-brick Victorian and Edwardian terraces, Georgian townhouses in the city centre, mid-century local authority estates, estates from the seventies and eighties, and newer developments on the edges. Each ages in its own way, and the roof that suits one does not always suit another.

The older terraces tend to have slate, lead valleys and tall chimney stacks that need regular attention. Estate houses from the second half of the twentieth century are mostly concrete tile over felt that is now old, with flat-roofed extensions added later. Newer houses have lighter tiles on shallow pitches, where ventilation and the detailing at the joins matter most.

Whatever the house, the method is the same. A free survey, a written and photographed report, a fixed price, and a written guarantee on the work. You will be told whether the job is a repair, a part-roof renewal or a whole new roof, and why.

04 / Pricing

What this usually costs.

ServiceIndicative price (2026)Typical duration
Roof Leak Repairs€400–€2,500Same day–3 days
Chimney Repairs€800–€3,5001–3 days
Concrete Tile Roof€8,000–€18,0004–10 days
Complete Slate Roof€12,000–€28,000+5–14 days
Flat Roof (EPDM / GRP)€90–€140 per m²2–5 days

Treat these as 2026 ballpark figures. A steep, large or hard-to-reach roof costs more, so does rotten timber found under the covering, which is why the fixed price is only written once someone has been up and looked. Homes carry VAT at 13.5% on top.

Our own crew, with safe access, suitable materials and a clean site.

04

Handover

We take you through the job, clear away and give you the written guarantee.

Do you work on terraced houses?

Yes. Terraces share walls, chimneys and eaves, so we plan access with you and the neighbours when it matters.

Yes, pitched or flat.

Do you give a written report for insurance?

Yes. After a survey you get photographs and a written note of what was found.
