Re-Roofing in Mallow

A new roof built for Mallow

Mallow sits at the crossroads of Munster on the banks of the Blackwater, a former spa town with its castle, the famous resident white deer, and a racecourse that draws crowds all year. As a rail and road hub for North Cork, it has everything from grand period houses to large commuter estates, all of them sitting in a river valley that sees plenty of rain.

Mallow has a strong stock of Victorian and early-1900s homes near the town centre with natural slate and ornate ridge lines, alongside extensive newer housing. River-valley damp makes good flashing and ventilation especially important here. Given blackwater valley, prone to damp and river fog, a Mallow 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 Mallow — FAQs

How long does a re-roof take in Mallow?

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.

Is damp a bigger problem on Mallow roofs near the river?

It can be. Homes closer to the Blackwater and the lower-lying parts of town hold more moisture, so we pay particular attention to ventilation, condensation in the attic and the condition of valleys and flashings when we inspect a roof in Mallow.

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.
