Roofers in
Macroom.
Houses in Macroom need roofers who check what is under the covering. Roofers Cork do, and the survey is free.
Roofs you will see in Macroom.
Macroom stands beside a river in the west of the county, a market town with hills close by and a good deal of rain. Houses range from older terraced streets to estates of the seventies and later.
Most of the newer building is estate housing, much of it with the usual concrete tiles on felt. The older centre is a village-style mix of terraced homes with slate roofs and shared walls. Damp is the constant. Roofers Cork notice that moisture lingers on a roof near a river and under hills, so moss, algae and slow rot are more likely than sudden storm damage. A survey here looks for slow trouble more than dramatic trouble.
If your roof has a persistent damp smell in the attic, or a ceiling stain that appears after rain and never dries, the cause is often slow and low-key. Where the evidence calls for it we check the timbers closely, and we report what we find in plain terms. A small number of rotten rafter ends can be repaired in place; widespread rot is a different conversation and we will say so honestly.
Problems we meet most.
- Algae and moss keeping tiles permanently damp.
- Slow rot in fascia and soffit boards.
- Shared flashings on old terraces worn thin.
- Valleys on estate roofs blocked and overflowing.
We look for the slow problems: damp timbers at the eaves, moss in the valleys, soft boards beneath the gutter. These tell us more about a damp-country roof than the tiles do.
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 Macroom.
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.

Tile and slate are priced separately: roughly €8,000–€18,000 for tile and €12,000–€28,000+ for slate, plus VAT, as guides for 2026. The roof prices page explains what moves them.
Do you take storm calls in Macroom?
Yes. If water is getting in or the wind has done damage in Macroom, the aim is to arrive within 4 hrs. Stopping the water comes first and the proper repair after. Ring 021 212 9985.
Is patching worth it on an older Macroom roof?
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.
Does the survey in Macroom cost anything?
The survey is free and carries no obligation. You receive photographs, an account of what is wrong and a fixed price on paper.
