Irish roofs work hard. Wind-driven rain off the Atlantic, winter storms and long damp spells test slates, flat roofs and flashing every year, which is why nearly every homeowner needs a roofer at some point, whether it is a one-off repair, a leak after a storm or a full re-roof. Whatever the job, browse local specialists below, read our roofing guides for the detail, and reach out when you are ready.

Roofing in Ireland: what to know before you hire a roofer
A little knowledge makes for a better job and a fairer price. Here is the short version of what matters when you are dealing with a roof in Ireland.
How to choose a reliable roofer
The best roofers are busy on reputation, not cold-calling. Start with the Google rating and read a few recent reviews, ask for a written quote that itemises the work, and confirm the roofer carries public liability insurance. Get more than one quote for anything substantial, never pay the full amount up front, and be wary of door-to-door callers offering cheap cash fixes after a storm. Every contractor in this directory is a real, listed business shown with its public rating, so you can shortlist before you ever pick up the phone. For the full checklist, see our guide on how to choose a roofer.
Roof types and materials in Ireland
Most Irish homes have a pitched roof finished in natural slate or in concrete and clay tiles. Natural slate is the premium, long-lasting choice and is common on older and period homes, while concrete interlocking tiles are cheaper and widespread on newer builds. Extensions, garages, dormers and many commercial buildings have flat roofs, today usually EPDM rubber or GRP fibreglass rather than the older felt. Knowing roughly what you have makes it easier to describe the job and compare quotes, and our slate, pitched and flat roofing guides explain each one in plain English.
Repair or replace your roof?
Not every problem means a new roof. A handful of slipped slates, a cracked ridge tile or a single leak is usually a straightforward repair. A full re-roof makes sense when the damage is widespread, the same areas keep failing, or the roof is simply at the end of its life. As a rough guide, natural slate can last 80 years or more, concrete and clay tiles 40 to 60 years, and flat roofs 15 to 30 years depending on the material. If your roof is over 20 to 25 years old, or has just come through a bad storm, it is worth having it inspected before small faults become big ones.
Why Irish weather is hard on roofs
Ireland's climate is tough on roofs. Persistent rain finds any weak point, and the Atlantic storms that arrive each winter strip slates, lift flat roofs and tear flashing away from chimneys, with the exposed western and coastal counties worst hit. A roof kept in good order rides out weather that wrecks a neglected one, so clearing gutters, re-fixing loose slates and dealing with small problems early is the cheapest roofing you will ever do. When a named storm is on the way, our storm damage section covers how to prepare and what to do after the wind drops.

Roofing in Ireland: common questions
How much does a new roof cost in Ireland?
A full roof replacement in Ireland typically costs from about €8,500 to €24,000 or more in 2026. A concrete tile re-roof on a standard semi-detached house is often €9,000 to €14,000, while a large natural slate roof can exceed €24,000. Cost depends on size, materials, access and county, and Dublin tends to run 15 to 25 per cent higher than the midlands or west. Always get a written quote.
How much does a flat roof cost in Ireland?
A flat roof repair usually costs from around €150 for a minor patch to €300 to €900 for a standard leak or membrane repair. A full flat roof replacement typically costs €3,500 to €9,500 depending on size and material, with EPDM rubber around €90 to €140 per square metre supplied and fitted.
How long does a roof last in Ireland?
It depends on the material. Natural slate can last 80 to 100 years or more, concrete and clay tiles around 40 to 60 years, and flat roofs 15 to 30 years depending on whether they are felt, GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber. It is worth having any roof over 20 to 25 years old inspected, and any roof checked after a major storm.
Does home insurance cover roof repairs in Ireland?
Most Irish home insurance policies cover storm and accidental damage to the roof, but general wear and tear and pre-existing disrepair are usually excluded. Report the claim promptly, photograph the damage before any work, keep receipts for emergency make-safe, and get a written report and quote from a roofer to submit with the claim.
How do I find a good roofer in Ireland?
Check the roofer's Google reviews and rating, ask for a written quote, and confirm they carry public liability insurance. Never pay in full up front, and be wary of door-to-door callers offering cheap cash fixes after a storm. Every contractor in our directory is a listed business shown with its public Google rating so you can compare before you call.
Do I need planning permission to replace a roof in Ireland?
A like-for-like roof repair or re-roof is generally exempt from planning permission. You may need permission if you change the roof materials or profile significantly, alter the structure, add rooflights to the front in some cases, or if the building is a protected structure. Check with your local authority if you are unsure before work starts.
