01Slate roofs

Slate roof repairs Cork homes can depend on

A well-maintained slate roof can last for generations. The key is fixing small problems before rain gets underneath.

Cork has thousands of slate roofs, from Victorian terraces in the city to coastal homes and farmhouses across the county. Over time, nails rust, slates crack and storms lift them out of place. Left alone, one slipped slate can let water into the felt, battens and ceilings below.

We repair natural slate and fibre cement slate roofs using slate hooks, copper nails or tingles as the job requires, and we match replacement slates to your roof as closely as possible. You get photos of the damage and a clear written price before any work begins.

07FAQs

Slate roof repair questions

Something else? Call (085) 234 5887.

Can you match my existing slates?

In most cases, yes. We source natural or fibre cement slates that match the size, colour and thickness of your roof as closely as possible.

How much do slate roof repairs cost?

It depends on how many slates need replacing, access and whether the ridge or lead also needs work. We inspect for free and give you a fixed written price.

Is it worth repairing an old slate roof?

Often, yes. Good-quality slate can outlast several sets of nails. If the slates themselves are failing across the roof, we will tell you honestly and give you options.

What are tingles and slate hooks?

They are ways of securing a replacement slate without lifting the slates above it. We choose the right method for your roof.

Are slate roof repairs guaranteed?

Yes. All slate roof repairs Cork customers get from us come with a written workmanship guarantee.
