Crosshaven
roofing by the harbour.
Leak, slipped slate, or an old roof giving up in Crosshaven? Roofers Cork survey it at no charge and put a fixed price on paper.
What time does to Crosshaven roofs.
At the mouth of the harbour, Crosshaven gets weather before most of Cork does. The village looks out over water, and its homes stand in the line of whatever the sea sends in.
Housing is largely mid-century and seventies and eighties, with a core of village homes and estates on the slopes. Salt air is the unusual part of the job: it eats at metal fixings, flashings and gutter brackets far faster than inland air. Roofers Cork use that as a guide in a survey. We check the metalwork carefully, because a roof tile may look sound while the nail beneath it has rusted to almost nothing.
Holiday-weather expectations do not apply to a roof by the sea. A property that is lived in all year round needs to be ready for the October storms, and one that is empty for part of the year can get through a winter with a slow leak and nobody to notice. If you are away for months at a time, tell us and we will point out what to check and how to have it checked.
Problems we meet most.
- Rusted fixings under tiles that look sound.
- Flashings eaten away by salt on exposed gables.
- Gale damage to ridge tiles and verges.
- Gutter brackets weakened and sagging.
We start with the metal, fixings and flashings, then the tiles and ridge. A coastal roof can look better than it is, so we go and see what is holding it up.
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 Crosshaven.
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.

Who do I ring for an urgent leak in Crosshaven?

Repair or new roof: which suits a Crosshaven house?
It depends on what lies beneath. Sound battens and a few bad slates: repair. Rotten battens and perished felt: patching only postpones it. You are told which, in writing, and you decide.

The survey is free and carries no obligation. You receive photographs, an account of what is wrong and a fixed price on paper.
