Roof Repairs
Storm damage, slipped or cracked slates, leaks, and flashing failures are the most common calls we get across Clare. We carry out targeted repairs where possible rather than pushing for a full replacement unnecessarily — you'll get an honest assessment of what your roof actually needs.
Flat Roofing & Extensions
We install and repair flat roofs on extensions, garages, and dormers, using modern felt, GRP fibreglass, or single-ply membrane systems designed to handle Irish weather without ponding or premature failure.
Warm vs Cold Roof
Most flat roofs we install now use warm roof construction, with insulation above the deck rather than below. This avoids the condensation and hidden timber rot that older cold roof designs are prone to in Ireland's damp climate — a common cause of failures that aren't visible until major repairs are needed.
Common Failure Points
Ponding, perished felt, moss build-up, and poor edge detailing are the most frequent causes of flat roof leaks in Clare. Most stem from insufficient fall, blocked outlets, or ageing bitumen felt (typically 15–20 years). We check all of these as standard on every flat roof job.
Lifespan by Material
Standard felt roofs typically last 15–20 years, GRP fibreglass 25–30 years, and single-ply membrane 25–35 years. We'll recommend the right system based on your roof size, budget, and how much exposure the roof will see over its lifetime.
CHimney and flashing works
Lead flashing repairs and chimney repointing are a frequent source of hidden leaks. We check and renew flashing as standard on any re-roof, and offer standalone flashing repairs where the roof covering itself is sound.
our process
- Site visit and inspection — we assess the roof in person, not from photos alone
- Written quote — a clear, itemised quote with materials and timeline, no vague estimates
- Scheduled works — roofing carried out with proper scaffolding/access and site safety measures
- Sign-off — a final walkthrough so you know exactly what was done
