Roof maintenance
in Limerick.
A roof that is looked at twice a year seldom needs an emergency. We clear it, fix the small faults and note what to watch.
Small jobs, done before they become big ones
Roofs rarely fail all at once. A slate slips, moss packs a valley, a gutter outlet blocks, a bead of mortar drops off the ridge, and each of these on its own is a ten-minute job. Left for a winter, they tend to turn into a wet ceiling, which is a very different bill.
A maintenance visit is that ten-minute job, done across the whole roof. We walk the slope, clear moss and debris from the valleys and the gutters, check the ridge, the lead and the chimneys, replace what is loose, and photograph what we find. You get a written note of what was done and what to keep an eye on.
How often depends on the roof. As a general rule, an older roof, one under trees, or a roof with flat sections is better looked at twice a year, in spring and autumn. Small repairs found on a visit are quoted before we do them, so there is no surprise on the bill.

What this usually costs.
What a visit costs depends on the roof, so it is priced after a survey. Anything small we find is quoted before it is done. For scale, a leak repair is €400 to €2,500 on the 2026 guide.

Common questions, answered.
How often should a roof be maintained?
Twice a year suits many older roofs, in spring and autumn. A newer roof with no trees nearby may need less.
Do you remove moss?
Yes, from valleys, gutters and flat roofs, where it causes problems. We do not recommend aggressive cleaning of a whole slope, which can damage the covering.
What does it cost?
It depends on the roof, so we price it after a survey.
Will you fix what you find?
Small things on the day, once you have agreed the price. Larger jobs are quoted separately.
Can you look after several properties?
Ask in the quote form and we will say what a regular arrangement could look like.
