Find a Roofer in Cork Who Knows Cork Roofs
The 27 roofers listed here work right across the county, from Cork City and Ballincollig through Carrigaline and out to Clonakilty. Most are called out for roof repairs rather than anything dramatic: a slipped slate, a cracked ridge tile, a leak that shows up on a bedroom ceiling after a bad night. The same contractors handle flat roofing in EPDM, fibreglass and felt, fascia, soffit and guttering, chimney lead work, full re-roofs, and emergency call-outs when a storm takes slates off.
Cork city carries terraces and tall period houses with valley gutters, parapets and a lot of chimney stacks, while the county runs from harbour towns to upland farms. The city roofs tend to need access solved before anything else; the rural ones tend to need exposure solved.
Say where you are, not just that you are in Cork. A roofer who works the coast and one who works the city are solving different problems, and the useful question is whether they regularly work in conditions like yours.
Not sure what to look for? Our guide on how to choose a roofer covers insurance, written quotes and the questions worth asking, and the 2026 cost guide has the numbers.

Roofers in Cork, Rated by Real Google Reviews
The order changes every time you load this page, so it is worth scanning the full list rather than stopping at the first name. The big number on each listing is its Google review count, which is the hardest thing on here to fake: a hundred reviews at 4.7 is worth more than five at 5.0, and the Cork average is 4.8.
Roofers in Cork: What to Know Before You Hire
Roof Repairs, New Roofs and Flat Roofing in Cork
Most jobs a roofer in Cork is called for are repairs: a slipped or missing slate, a cracked ridge tile, a leak around a chimney, or damage after a storm. These are usually straightforward to put right once a roofer has had a look. Bigger work, a full re-roof or a new roof on an extension, makes sense when damage is widespread or a roof is at the end of its life. Alongside pitched slate and tile work, Cork roofers handle flat roofing in EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass and felt, fascia, soffit and guttering, lead and flashing, and emergency call-outs. After a bad storm, see our storm damage section for what to do first.
How Much Does a Roof Cost in Cork?
Roofing prices in Cork follow the national pattern. As a rough 2026 guide, expect a roof repair to cost from about €150 to €2,000, a full re-roof from €8,500 to €24,000 or more depending on size and material, and a flat roof from €3,500 to €9,500. The figure depends on the size and pitch of your roof, access and the material, so the best way to budget is to compare written quotes from a few local roofers. Our roofing cost guide breaks the numbers down further.
Choosing a Roofer in Cork
Start with the Google rating and read a few recent reviews, ask for a written quote that itemises the work, and confirm the roofer carries public liability insurance. Get more than one quote for anything substantial, never pay the full amount up front, and be wary of door-to-door callers offering cheap cash fixes after a storm. Every contractor listed here in Cork is a real business shown with its public rating, so you can shortlist before you call. For more, see our guide on how to choose a roofer.
Roofers in Cork for Every Roofing Job
Most calls are a repair: a slipped slate, a cracked ridge, a leak at the chimney. Some are a full re-roof. Each page below lists the Cork roofers who do that specific job, with the 2026 price range for it and what to ask before you agree anything.
Roofers in Cork: What Homeowners Ask Most
How much does a new roof cost in Cork?
As a 2026 guide, a full re-roof on a 70m² semi-detached house starts around €8,000 in concrete or clay tile, €12,000 in natural Spanish slate and €18,000 in Welsh or Killaloe slate. Those are starting points, not quotes: the size and pitch of the roof, access, scaffold and the condition of the timber underneath all move the figure. Get written quotes from two or three Cork roofers and compare what is actually included.
How much is a small roof repair in Cork?
Smaller jobs price far more predictably than a re-roof. A slipped or cracked slate replaced on a visit runs €80 to €200, chimney repointing and flashing €400 to €900, ridge repointing €600 to €1,500, a flat roof patch €250 to €600 and a storm damage call-out €200 to €400. Any roofer will quote a repair free of charge, so there is no reason to guess.
How do I know a Cork roofer is insured?
Ask for the certificate, not the assurance. You want public liability cover of at least €2 million, and a professional roofer will send it without hesitating. If someone is reluctant, that is your answer. Also ask whether they are on the Construction Industry Register Ireland, and get the workmanship guarantee in writing rather than agreed on the doorstep.
Do I need scaffolding, and is it included?
For a full re-roof, yes, and it is not a matter of preference: scaffold is required under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (Construction) Regulations, and anyone proposing to re-roof a house without it is working outside the law and without insurance cover. It costs roughly €800 to €2,000 for a standard semi. Confirm in writing whether it is inside the quote, because some quotes exclude it and add it later.
How long does a re-roof take?
Five to seven working days on a standard three-bedroom semi, from stripping to the last flashing. The scaffold goes up the day before and comes down one to two days after, so it is in place two to three weeks in total. You can stay in the house throughout; the interior is not affected, but stripping and nailing is loud and attic access will be limited.
What are the ratings on this page, and can they be trusted?
Every rating shown is the roofer's own public Google rating, pulled from their listing. We do not score anyone ourselves, so the figure you see is exactly what Google shows. One thing worth knowing when you compare: a rating on its own says very little, because most listings sit at or near 5.0. The review COUNT is the harder number to fake, which is why it is the figure shown largest on each listing.
Why does the order of roofers change every time I visit?
Because it is deliberate. If the list were fixed, whoever sat at the top would collect most of the calls in Cork for no reason other than being first, which tells you nothing about the quality of their work. Shuffling it on every visit spreads that fairly. The evidence you need to choose, the review count and the rating, is on every listing regardless of where it lands.
Is there a fee for contacting a roofer through this page?
No, and there is no middleman. The phone number on each listing is the roofer's own, you ring them directly, and we take nothing from the job. We do not sell your details on either. This is a directory, not a lead-generation service.
Do Cork roofers cover emergencies and storm damage?
Many do. After a storm the usual sequence is a temporary make-safe or tarpaulin to stop water getting in, then the permanent repair once the weather allows. Call-outs run €200 to €400. It is fastest to ring two or three Cork roofers at once rather than waiting on one, and be wary of anyone calling door to door offering a cheap cash fix afterwards.
