Roofers in
Blarney.

Roofs you will see in Blarney.

Blarney is a village that has been added to over the years, so a short walk takes you past very different roofs. The older core has Victorian terraced houses, and round them come mid-century homes, seventies and eighties estates, and newer additions.

Those old village houses are the interesting ones. Slate roofs, thick stone or brick walls, small chimneys, and sometimes a tangle of previous repairs that nobody wrote down. A stream and open ground nearby keep the air moist and the wind finds the gaps. Roofers Cork spend time on these roofs working out which repairs have helped and which are only hiding the problem, then pricing just what the roof needs.

Village roofs often have a history of work done by whoever was available at the time. We have no interest in criticising that, but it helps to know what is underneath. A survey records what we find in plain terms: slate sizes and ages, where a repair has been bridged with cement, where lead has been replaced with something else. You can then choose between a gradual fix over a few seasons and one decisive job, with a price for each.
