Roofers in
Skibbereen.
Houses in Skibbereen need roofers who check what is under the covering. Roofers Cork do, and the survey is free.
What time does to Skibbereen roofs.
Skibbereen is a long way down the county, and the roofing there reflects it. Older terraces fill the centre, mid-century homes stand around them, and newer houses fill the gaps.
It is exposed country, with weather arriving across open ground. Slate on the older streets suffers from nail sickness and loosened ridges. Homes of the middle of the last century have the tile-and-felt problems we see in every estate of that age. Roofers Cork survey here free like anywhere else in the county, and the price in writing is the price you pay.
A far town means fewer visits, so make the survey count. We take photographs of every fault, including the ones you cannot see from the ground, and send them with the written report. If you want a second opinion on a quote from elsewhere, show it to us. A fair comparison does you good, and we would prefer you chose on the facts.
Problems we meet most.
- Slate nails rusted through on older terraces.
- Ridges loosened by repeated gusts.
- Mid-century felt crumbling under good-looking tiles.
- Chimneys on exposed gables losing their pointing.
On the older terrace, the nails and the chimney; on a mid-century house, the felt in the attic. Both are quick to check, and the findings are in writing the same week.
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 Skibbereen.
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.

Is patching worth it on an older Skibbereen 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.
