What roofers find in County Tipperary

  • 45.4% of households in County Tipperary live in homes built before 1981 — above the national figure of 40.7%, and the 2nd highest share of the 26 counties.

    Roofs on houses of that age were usually laid on bitumen felt rather than a breathable membrane and many are on their original covering, so one repair often turns up others — ask for photographs.

  • County Tipperary has 62,056 households and 2,358 active construction businesses (2023) — about 26 homes for every firm, against about 23 across Ireland. The figure covers construction as a whole, not any one trade.

Hiring a roofer in Tipperary

Roofing ranges from replacing a few slipped slates to a full re-roof with new membrane and battens, plus flat roofs, chimneys, gutters, fascia and roof windows. Access — scaffolding or a cherry picker — is often a large part of the cost.

A good roofer shows you what they found: photographs from the roof before and after a repair are reasonable to ask for, and they are your evidence if the leak comes back.

What roofers in Tipperary cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Access: height of the house, scaffolding or a cherry picker
  • Natural slate, fibre-cement slate or concrete tile, and matching what is there
  • Rotten battens, rafters or decking found once the covering is off
  • Lead flashings, valleys and chimney work
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

How long it usually takes

  • A repair: a few hours to a day.
  • A flat roof: one to three days.
  • A re-roof: one to three weeks, weather allowing.

What to ask before you choose

  • Will you send photographs of what you find and what you fixed?
  • Is scaffolding included, and for how long?
  • What guarantee is there on the work and on the materials?
  • Do you carry public liability insurance?
  • Is VAT included?
