New Roofs Cork — Natural Slate, Tile & Re-Roofing
Complete New Roof Installation & Re-Roofing Services in Cork
A new roof is a once-in-a-generation investment that protects your home's structural core, lowers heating bills, and transforms exterior curb appeal. Whether you are replacing a decaying 40-year-old roof, building a new extension, or restoring a period property, our crew delivers precision craftsmanship using premium Irish-certified materials.
1. Natural Slate Roof Installations
We supply and lay premium natural slate systems, including Welsh Bangor, Spanish, and Brazilian slates. Natural slate offers timeless architectural elegance and an incredible lifespan of 75+ years, fixed with heavy-duty copper nails and stainless steel hooks for maximum storm resistance.
2. Concrete & Clay Tile Roofing
We install durable concrete and clay tile systems from leading manufacturers like Redland and Marley. Available in a wide variety of colors and profiles (flat, double Roman, pantile), concrete tiles provide an exceptional blend of durability, rapid drainage, and cost efficiency.
3. Fiber-Cement Synthetic Slate Roofing
Synthetic slate offers the refined aesthetic of natural stone at a more accessible price point. Fiber-cement slates are lightweight, highly durable, and engineered specifically to resist high winds and heavy frost cycles on modern residential builds.
4. Complete Stripping & Re-Roofing
When an old roof fails, we carefully strip away degraded slates, rotten wooden battens, and old felt down to the rafter frame. We treat structural timbers, lay breathable waterproof membrane, fix treated counter-battens, and install a completely fresh roof covering.
5. New Roofs for Extensions & New Builds
Working alongside homeowners, self-builders, and architects, we build high-performance pitched roofs for kitchen extensions, attic dormers, garage conversions, and custom new builds, ensuring total compliance with Irish building regulations.

Key Warning Signs Your Home Needs a Full Re-Roof
Recognizing structural roof failure early helps you budget for a replacement before severe interior water damage occurs:
Recurring Multi-Room Leaks: Persistent leaks appearing in multiple ceiling areas during rain indicate widespread underlayment and tile failure.
Widespread Slate/Tile Loss: If 15% or more of your slates are cracked, missing, or crumbling, localized patching is no longer cost-effective.
Severe Timber Sagging: Visible dipping along the ridge line or roof slope points to structural rafter rot or batten failure underneath.
Granule Loss & Porous Tiles: Old concrete tiles lose their protective coating, absorbing rainwater like a sponge and causing timber dampness.
Crumbling Mortar & Rotting Felt: Brittle, torn felt inside your attic combined with disintegrating cement mortar signals an expired roofing system.
Replacing an expired roof restores structural integrity, significantly improves home thermal performance, and increases total property valuation.
Frequently Asked Questions
New roof costs depend on total square meterage, roof pitch, accessibility, structural timber condition, and your choice of covering (concrete tile, synthetic slate, or natural slate). Concrete tiles offer the most budget-friendly solution, whereas natural Bangor slate represents a premium, long-term investment. We provide 100% free site surveys and supply itemized written quotes breaking down labor, materials, waste disposal, and scaffolding upfront.
A standard three-bedroom semi-detached re-roofing project typically takes between 3 to 5 working days to complete, depending on weather conditions. Our crew works efficiently to strip, membrane, batten, and slate your home, ensuring the roof frame is made 100% watertight at the end of every working day.
No. You can remain living comfortably in your home throughout the entire re-roofing process. All major structural work, slate stripping, and tile fixing takes place entirely from the exterior via scaffold towers and access platforms. We maintain strict site safety to ensure zero disruption to your daily routine.
Natural slate is quarried stone cut into dense tiles. It boasts an incredible lifespan (75–100 years), superior storm resistance, and timeless aesthetic value, but carries a higher upfront cost. Concrete tiles are factory-molded, highly durable, cost-effective, and have a lifespan of 30–50 years. During our free consultation, we show you samples of both so you can choose the right fit for your home and budget.
