“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.”

FAQs

Slate roof repairs in Cork — FAQs

Can you match the slate on my Cork roof?

Yes. We source both new natural slate and reclaimed slate to match the colour, size and weathering of your existing roof, which matters a great deal on Cork's period homes.

Why do slates slip or break?

Usually the nails or fixings corrode over time ("nail sickness"), or slates crack with age and frost. We re-fix or replace the affected slates and check the surrounding area so the problem doesn't spread.

Do you repair lead valleys and ridges on slate roofs?

Yes — lead valleys, ridges and flashings are often where slate roofs first let water in. We renew lead work to the correct codes and detail so it lasts.

Is a slate roof worth repairing rather than replacing?

Very often, yes. A well-built natural slate roof can last a century, so targeted repairs to fixings, valleys and flashings can give many more years of service for a fraction of the cost of a re-roof.

Are slate repairs guaranteed?

Yes, our slate work is fully insured and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
