Re-Roofing in Macroom

A new roof built for Macroom

Macroom is the gateway to the Lee Valley and West Cork, a stone-built market town gathered around its castle gates and famous for its oaten markets and buttered eggs. With the Gearagh ancient woodland nearby and Gougane Barra beyond, it sits in open countryside where homes are exposed to driving rain rolling in off the hills.

Macroom and its surrounding townlands mix solid stone farmhouses, town-centre terraces and newer bungalows. Many rural roofs here are large and exposed, so wind uplift and slipped slates after a gale are a common call-out. Given open upland country, exposed to wind-driven rain, a Macroom 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 Macroom — FAQs

How long does a re-roof take in Macroom?

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.

Do you travel out to rural homes around Macroom?

Yes. We regularly work on farmhouses and one-off rural homes in the townlands around Macroom and out toward the Lee Valley. Exposed hillside roofs need extra attention to fixings and ridge work, which we factor into every quote.

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.
