A new roof is a major investment, so the specification needs to suit the building rather than rely on a one-size-fits-all package. We can discuss a full strip and re-cover, replacement of tired battens and underlay, and the roof details that determine how well the finished covering sheds water and withstands Irish weather.
New roofs for slate and tiled roofs
Natural slate brings a traditional, distinctive finish; fibre-cement slate offers a consistent, lighter alternative. Concrete tiles are available in a wide range of profiles and colours, while clay tiles give a strong colour and classic appearance. The right choice depends on pitch, roof structure, planning constraints, budget and the existing character of the property.
What the work involves
Before work begins, the scope, materials and key details are agreed. During renewal, the condition of the substrate and timber can be assessed as the roof is opened. Eaves, verges, ridges, valleys, flashings and ventilation all form part of a sound roof system. We finish with a tidy site and a walkthrough of the completed work.
Every roof is assessed on its own condition, structure, access and exposure. Before we start, we explain the likely cause or proposed specification, the work involved and any limitations we can see. If a roof needs a wider repair than first expected, we discuss it with you before proceeding.
Roofing materials and details
Natural & fibre-cement slate
Slate roofs need correctly sized slates, sound fixings and careful detailing around ridges, valleys and abutments. Repair and renewal methods are chosen to suit the existing roof.
Clay & concrete tiles
Profile, pitch and interlock all affect the repair. We check for cracked or displaced tiles, failing ridge details and junctions that may admit wind-driven rain.
Flat roof systems
Felt, GRP and single-ply coverings each use different detailing and repair materials. We identify the system first and discuss a compatible solution.
