Repairs that suit Kinsale roofs

Kinsale is the gourmet capital of Ireland, a colourful harbour town of narrow winding streets guarded by the star-shaped Charles Fort and James Fort, with the dramatic Old Head reaching out into the Atlantic. Beautiful as it is, that exposed harbour setting means salt spray, tight access and a lot of bright-painted period homes that need careful roofing.

Kinsale's tightly-packed period houses climb steep streets above the harbour, with slate roofs, dormers and lead valleys close together. Access can be tight and the sea air is tough on fixings, so experience with old coastal roofs really counts here. With exposed atlantic harbour, salt spray and high winds, small faults can turn into leaks quickly here — so we fix the cause, not just the symptom.

“After the winter storms we had three slipped slates and a leak coming through the landing ceiling. Michael came out, found the real cause and had it fixed properly within a couple of days. No fuss, no mess, fair price.”

“I'd had two other roofers patch the same leak and it kept coming back. Best Roofers Cork actually traced it to the flashing and sorted it once and for all. Tidy, polite and they explained everything.”

“Brilliant job on our ridge tiles and guttering. They turned up when they said they would and left the place spotless. I've already recommended Michael to two neighbours.”
