Roofers in
Ardmore.
Ardmore houses need a roofer who inspects the layers below the covering. That is how we start, and nothing is charged for it.
What weather does to Ardmore roofs.
Ardmore is a small coastal village on the open sea, and its roofs stand in the first line of the weather. Salt, wind and driven rain are part of ordinary life there, and a roof that would last thirty years inland may need attention far sooner on the shore.
Houses range from older cottages and village terraces to holiday homes and newer family houses on the roads above the bay. Slate and tile are both common. Chimneys are exposed, gables take the wind and many roofs carry satellite dishes and aerials on brackets that were fixed through the covering and have since loosened.
Metal that is not made for the coast rusts quickly, and salt gets into every gap. New work here uses fixings and flashings chosen for the setting, which costs a little more at the start and a good deal less later on.
Problems we meet most.
- Rusted fixings letting slates and tiles move.
- Aerial and dish brackets leaking through the covering.
- Exposed chimneys worn by salt and wind.
- Gable and verge edges lifted in storms.
Fixings, brackets and chimneys come first on a coastal roof, then the ridge and verges. Anything fixed through the covering is checked for a leak path.
No work begins until the price is written down, and the survey behind it is free. The 2026 guide figures are on the roof prices page.
Roof work we do in Ardmore.
Roof Repairs
Water through the ceiling or slates on the lawn. We trace the entry point and mend that, rather than covering up the mark.
Roof Replacement
Once patching has stopped working, the covering is stripped and a new slate or tile roof laid, with the Lifetime Leak Guarantee.
Flat Roofs
Flat roofs over extensions, garages and dormers, re-covered in EPDM or GRP and set to a fall so the rain drains away.
Emergency Roof Repair
A storm has done damage or rain is coming in. The gap is closed first and the permanent fix follows in drier weather.
Re-felting & Battening
Underlay and battens fail ahead of the slates above them. We renew both and refit your own slates.
Lead Flashing & Chimneys
Lead renewed at every junction of roof and wall or stack, and chimneys repaired so they no longer soak up the rain.
Roof Inspections
A written report with photographs, from the slope and the attic, setting out what the roof needs and what it can do without.
Commercial Roofing
Shop, office, unit and yard roofs that are flat or low in pitch, kept watertight without halting the working week.

What does a leak repair cost in Ardmore?
The 2026 guide puts a leak repair at €400 to €2,500 plus VAT, from a same-day fix up to three days of work. In Ardmore, rusted fixings letting slates and tiles move is a frequent culprit, which is where the survey looks first. Your fixed price comes after the survey.
What is the cost of a new slate or tile roof in Ardmore?
Tile and slate are priced apart. For 2026 tile is guided at €8,000–€18,000 and slate at €12,000–€28,000+, plus VAT. What shifts those ranges is covered on the roof prices page.
How do I report an urgent roof leak in Ardmore?
Yes. Where water is coming in or the wind has caused damage in Ardmore, send the form and say it is urgent. The water is stopped first, the permanent repair comes after.
Patch it or replace it: what suits a house in Ardmore?
It turns on what lies underneath. Sound battens with a few bad slates can be repaired. Rotten battens and perished felt cannot, and patching only delays things. You are told which in writing and the decision is yours.
Will I be charged for a roof inspection in Ardmore?
Nothing is charged for it and you are under no obligation. You get photographs, an explanation of what is wrong and a fixed price on paper.
