Roof repair: what the job involves

Finding and fixing a leak or storm damage on a pitched roof: replacing slipped or broken slates and tiles, re-bedding or dry-fixing ridge tiles, and repairing lead flashings and valleys. The skill is in finding where the water actually gets in, which is often not directly above the stain.

How long it takes: Most repairs take a few hours to a day; scaffolding, matching old slates and timber damage found under them make it longer.

The full guide to roof repair — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.

What affects the price

Access: bungalow, two storey or three storey, and whether scaffolding is needed or a ladder and tower will do
The covering and how hard it is to match: natural slate, fibre-cement slate, concrete or clay tile
How much is damaged, and whether the ridge, a valley or a chimney flashing is involved
Rotten battens or timbers found once slates are lifted
Emergency call-out after a storm, when every roofer is busy
VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced 13.5% rate by a VAT-registered roofer, unless materials are more than two-thirds of the price (Revenue’s two-thirds rule)
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.

County Donegal: what the figures say

32.6% of households in County Donegal live in homes built before 1981 — below the national figure of 40.7%, and the 22nd 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.
Central Statistics Office, 2022
