Roofers in
Dungarvan.
Dungarvan houses need a roofer who inspects the layers below the covering. That is how we start, and nothing is charged for it.
Dungarvan roofs, and where they give.
Dungarvan is a harbour town where the river meets the bay, and the weather there comes off the water. Roofs in the old streets and out on the estates are tested by wind and rain from the coast, and the housing mix means the answer to a leak is rarely the same twice.
The older part of town has terraced houses and commercial buildings in slate with lead details, some of them three storeys and awkward to reach. Estates built since sit on the slopes and the outskirts and are tiled. A few buildings are protected or in conservation areas, and that affects what materials can be used on them.
Salt and driven rain wear exposed roofs faster. On the older roofs the lead and the chimneys give up first, on the newer ones the ridge and verge cement.
Problems we meet most.
- Lead and chimney details worn on old town roofs.
- Wind lifting ridge and verge tiles on exposed estates.
- Rain driven under laps on harbour-facing slopes.
- Gutter and roof-edge overflow on tall terraced frontages.
Older roofs get a look at the chimneys, lead and valleys first. Estate roofs get the ridge, verges and felt. If the building is protected, we say at the survey what may need permission.
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 Dungarvan.
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.
Asked about roofing in Dungarvan.
Is Dungarvan somewhere you work?
Yes. Dungarvan falls inside the Waterford city and county area we cover, with Ardmore and Stradbally nearby. Use the form on this page to book a survey.
What should I expect to pay to stop a leak in Dungarvan?
Guide figures for 2026: €400 to €2,500 plus VAT for a leak, and €800 to €3,500 for chimney work. A survey narrows that to one price.
What is the cost of a new slate or tile roof in Dungarvan?
Natural slate guides at €12,000–€28,000+ and concrete tile at €8,000–€18,000, plus VAT, for 2026. The survey settles the true figure, and a complete replacement carries the Lifetime Leak Guarantee beside the ten-year workmanship cover.
Can you help after storm damage in Dungarvan?
Send the form with the word urgent at the top. The damaged area is made safe first and repaired for good once the weather allows, and your insurer receives a written report.
Patch it or replace it: what suits a house in Dungarvan?
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.
Is the roof survey in Dungarvan free?
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.
