Re-Roofing in Glanmire

A new roof built for Glanmire

Glanmire is a leafy commuter suburb just north-east of Cork city, strung along the Glashaboy river and dotted with fine old houses like Riverstown House and Dunkathel. It's grown rapidly with new estates around Sallybrook and Riverstown, so we see everything from heritage homes to the newest tiled roofs here.

Glanmire combines older country houses and mature 20th-century homes with a wave of modern developments. Tree cover along the river valley means moss, leaf debris and blocked gutters are a frequent cause of the roof problems we're called to fix. Given wooded river valley, heavy leaf fall and moss growth, a Glanmire re-roof has to be specified and fixed to stand up to local conditions — which is exactly how we build them.

“We got a complete new roof — felt, battens, slates, the lot. The quote was clear with no surprises and the finish is superb. The house is warmer and there's not a draught off the attic now.”

“Michael re-roofed our extension and matched it perfectly to the existing house. You honestly can't tell where the old roof ends and the new one starts. Couldn't be happier.”

FAQs

Roof replacements in Glanmire — FAQs

How long does a re-roof take in Glanmire?

Most domestic re-roofs take around three to seven working days depending on the roof's size, complexity and the weather. We give a realistic timescale with your quote.

What's included in a new roof?

Stripping the old roof, new breathable underlay, treated battens, your chosen slate or tile, new ridge and verge, fresh lead flashings, and removal of all waste.

How long will a new roof last?

Natural slate can last 80–100 years or more; quality fibre-cement and concrete tiles typically give 40–60 years. We'll talk you through the best option for your home.

Why do Glanmire roofs get so much moss and debris?

The mature trees along the Glashaboy valley are lovely but they drop a lot of leaves and keep roofs shaded and damp, which encourages moss. We clear, treat and re-point as part of repairs in Glanmire so the problem doesn't simply come straight back.

Will my property be protected during the work?

Yes — proper scaffolding, sheeting to protect your home and gardens, and a tidy site with a full clean-up at the end.
