Roofers in
Ballinlough.
Roof trouble in Ballinlough starts small and gets dearer. Roofers Cork come out, look properly and write the price down before any work begins.
What time does to Ballinlough roofs.
Ballinlough is a settled suburb, made up largely of houses built between the wars, with gardens that have had decades to grow. The trees are lovely and they are also the main thing a roofer has to deal with here.
Houses from this period typically have tiled roofs with a decent pitch and chimneys that are doing real work. The timber beneath is often good, and that matters: it means a repair is usually worth doing rather than starting again. What lets these roofs down is the slow stuff. Leaves, moss and branches rubbing over tile. Roofers Cork come to an interwar roof expecting to save most of it, and the survey is aimed at proving that.
The sound timbers under an interwar roof make it worth saving. Re-tiling or refelting a roof like this is a good use of money, because the structure beneath will last for many more years. We look at the rafters and battens from the attic and tell you what condition they are in. If you are thinking of selling, a written survey and a record of the work is the kind of thing buyers and their solicitors ask to see.
Problems we meet most.
- Moss and leaf mulch holding damp against tiles.
- Chimney flashings that have lifted and cracked.
- Valley gutters silting up under overhanging branches.
- Old verge pointing falling away in pieces.
We look at the roof from under the trees as well as from above, because overhanging branches tell us where the damage will be. Then the chimney, the valleys and the verges, in that order.
Nothing starts until the price is on paper, and the survey that produces it costs nothing. Guide figures for 2026 are on the roof prices page.
Roof work we do in Ballinlough.
Roof Repairs
Find the real point of entry, then fix that: slipped slates, split flashings, a ridge that has let go.
Roof Replacement
When patching has stopped paying, the old covering comes off and a new slate or tile roof goes on, backed by the Lifetime Leak Guarantee.
Flat Roofs
A flat roof over an extension, garage or dormer, relaid in EPDM or GRP so water leaves it instead of sitting on it.
Emergency Roof Repair
A live leak or storm damage: the opening made watertight today, the proper repair planned once it is dry.
Re-felting & Battening
The membrane and battens under your slates wear out before the slates do. We renew them and relay what you have.
Lead Flashing & Chimneys
Lead dressed where the roof meets a wall or stack, and the chimney itself pointed so it stops taking in rain.
Roof Inspections
A written, photographed report on the state of the roof, taken from the attic and from the slope.
Commercial Roofing
Shops, offices, units and public buildings: low-pitch and flat roofs kept watertight around the working day.

No. The survey and the written price are free. A separate formal inspection report, for an insurer or a sale, is priced separately, at the point of booking.
