Mahon
roofing, done properly.
Roofers Cork look after roofs in Mahon: leaks, tired slopes, flat roofs and storm damage. The survey costs nothing, and the price you are given stays the price.
Mahon roofs, and their weak points.
If a Mahon house is leaking, there is a good chance the water is coming in through the flat bit. Many homes here are estate houses from the seventies, eighties and later, and nearly every other one has had an extension added with a flat roof on top.
Mahon sits on the harbour side of the city, so the weather is open and salty at times. The main pitched roofs are mostly concrete tile and generally behave themselves. The flat extensions do not. They pond, the felt or membrane splits at the wall, and the damage appears inside as a stain on the ceiling long after the cause started. A Roofers Cork survey spends as much time on the lowest, flattest part of the house as on the big roof above it.
Extensions are rarely built with the same care as the house, and the roof is where that tends to show. If yours has a flat roof, ask when it was last looked at. Re-covering a flat roof properly takes a day or two and comes with the ten-year workmanship guarantee in writing. Patching the same split every winter takes less time each visit and costs more across the years, which is why we will tell you when it is time to stop patching.
Problems we meet most.
- Flat extension roofs splitting along the wall upstand.
- Water ponding where the falls are too shallow.
- Verge tiles loosened by open, salty weather.
- Rainwater outlets on flat roofs blocked with moss.
The flat roof first. We check the falls, the upstand where it meets the house, and the outlet, then go up to the pitched roof. Repair or a new membrane: the survey says which, with a fixed price.
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 Mahon.
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.
Asked about roofing in Mahon.
Do Roofers Cork cover Mahon?
It is. Roofers Cork work across the city and county, and that takes in Mahon. The number is 021 212 9985, or fill in the form on this page.
How much should I budget for a repair in Mahon?
As a 2026 guide, repairing a leak falls between €400 and €2,500 plus VAT, taking anything from the same day to three days. In Mahon a common cause is flat extension roofs splitting along the wall upstand, so the survey looks there first. The fixed price follows the survey.
How much for replacing a whole roof in Mahon?
Slate comes to €12,000–€28,000+ and concrete tile to €8,000–€18,000, plus VAT, as 2026 guides. The survey fixes the real figure. When the whole roof is replaced, the Lifetime Leak Guarantee is added to the ten-year workmanship cover.
Who do I ring for an urgent leak in Mahon?
Phone 021 212 9985. Water coming in counts as urgent: the target is 4 hrs, the damaged part is covered or secured, and the damage is written up for your insurer.
How do I know whether my Mahon roof needs repair or replacing?
A single point of failure suits a repair. A slope that keeps leaking in new places usually does not. Where the trouble is water ponding where the falls are too shallow, a repair often holds. The written survey sets out the choice.
Does the survey in Mahon cost anything?
Not for a repair or replacement quote. Roofers Cork survey the roof, photograph it and give you the fixed price in writing, at no cost.
