What the job actually involves is set out on the chimney repair and repointing page, which covers the work itself, the materials and what to expect. What follows is specific to Cork.

What Cork Does To A Roof

Cork is big enough that no single description covers it. A roof on the west Cork coast lives a completely different life to one in the city or up in the Blackwater valley, facing salt and gales rather than damp and shelter. It is the main reason quotes vary so much across the county for what sounds like the same job.

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.

Contractors on the list here work out of Ballintemple, Blackpool, Ballyvolane, Glanmire, Sunday's Well and Mayfield, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
