Roofers in
Tramore.
Tramore houses need a roofer who inspects the layers below the covering. That is how we start, and nothing is charged for it.
Tramore roofs, and where they give.
Tramore is a seaside town and its roofs live with the sea. Salt travels a good way inland on a windy day, and it settles on every fixing, flashing and ridge in town. A roof here wears differently from one in a sheltered estate, and a survey needs to look for that kind of wear.
The housing stretches from older Victorian terraces and villas near the front to a great deal of holiday and family housing built since. Exposure is the common thread: gable ends and ridges face the wind, and rain arrives sideways. Flat roofs over extensions and conservatories are common, and they suffer from salt and standing water.
Metal parts rust faster by the sea. Clips, nails and lead fixings need to be stainless or otherwise suited to the setting, and roofs that were made with ordinary steel are the first to loosen.
Problems we meet most.
- Rusting nails and clips letting slates slip.
- Ridge and verge pieces lifted by sea wind.
- Salt-worn flashing at chimneys and walls.
- Flat extension roofs ponding and weathering.
Fixings and ridge first, as that is where the sea does its damage. Then the lead, then the felt from the attic. New work uses fixings suited to a salty setting.
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 Tramore.
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 Tramore.
Do your roofers come out to Tramore?
Yes. Tramore falls inside the Waterford city and county area we cover, with Waterford City Centre and Dunmore East nearby. Use the form on this page to book a survey.
What should I expect to pay to stop a leak in Tramore?
Budget between €400 and €2,500 plus VAT for a leak in 2026. Ridge and verge pieces lifted by sea wind could push it either way depending on access. The exact figure is written down once we have been up.
What is the cost of a new slate or tile roof in Tramore?
Guide figures for 2026 are €8,000 to €18,000 plus VAT for concrete tile and €12,000 to €28,000 or more for slate. House size, roof pitch and the condition of the timber move it. Full replacement also earns the Lifetime Leak Guarantee.
Rain is coming in tonight in Tramore: what now?
Use the form on this page and mark it urgent. Rain coming in is treated as a priority: the damaged part is covered, then the damage is documented for your insurer.
Should my Tramore roof be repaired or renewed?
One failure point suits a repair, while a slope that leaks somewhere new every winter usually does not. If the trouble is ridge and verge pieces lifted by sea wind, a repair may well hold. The written survey lays out both options.
Does a written price for a Tramore roof cost anything?
No. The survey and the written price are free. A formal inspection report for an insurer or a sale is a separate job, priced when you book it.
