Sunday's Well.
Leak, slipped slate, or an old roof giving up in Sunday's Well? Roofers Cork survey it at no charge and put a fixed price on paper.
What time does to Sunday's Well roofs.
Sunday's Well is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terrace on high ground over the river, built in slate with lead details that were never meant to last for ever.
Trees are part of the picture here, and so is the weather coming off the water. Leaves choke valleys and gutters through autumn, damp sits on north-facing slopes and moss follows. Roofers Cork see this combination often on older terraces: the slates are fine, the problem is the lead and the drainage underneath them. Replacing slate that does not need replacing is the expensive mistake to avoid.
If you are choosing between repairing and replacing, ask for the reasoning in writing. On a roof of this type the honest answer is often a patchwork of small, well-done repairs, lead renewed where it has failed and slates refixed where the nails have gone. A full strip and re-cover is sometimes needed, but not as often as a nervous owner is told. Where it is needed, the lifetime leak cover on a complete roof replacement applies.
Problems we meet most.
- Moss and leaf build-up holding water against slate.
- Lead valleys cracked after decades of movement.
- Brickwork around chimneys open at the joints.
- Overgrown trees dropping debris into gutters.
We check what the trees are doing to the roof, then follow the water: gutters, valleys, flashings, then the slates themselves. Reusing sound slate is usually possible, and where it is, the price says so.
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 Sunday's Well.
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.

Roughly what does fixing a leak in Sunday's Well come to?
For a leak in 2026, expect something in the €400 to €2,500 band plus VAT. Something like lead valleys cracked after decades of movement lands at the low or the high end depending on access. Your own figure is set in writing once we have been up.
Is a full re-roof in Sunday's Well priced differently?
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.
What if water is coming in tonight in Sunday's Well?
Ring 021 212 9985. Our target is to reach you inside 4 hrs, make the roof safe first and repair it once the weather allows. A written report for your insurer follows.
Is patching worth it on an older Sunday's Well roof?
One local fault, such as moss and leaf build-up holding water against slate, is a repair. If the felt and battens are failing across a whole slope, new work costs less than patching year after year. The survey tells you which of the two you have.
Do I pay for the price quote in Sunday's Well?
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.
