The short answer for 2026: a full concrete tile roof on a typical three-bed semi in Ireland runs €8,000 to €18,000, and natural slate €12,000 to €28,000. Flat roofing in EPDM or GRP is priced by area at €90 to €140 per m². A leak repair is usually €400 to €2,500; emergency storm work €1,500 to €8,000. Add roughly €800–€3,500 if the chimney needs flashing or repointing and €1,200–€4,500 for valley reconstruction. Coastal and exposed sites — West Cork, the Kerry headlands, Galway Bay — typically add 12–15% for higher-spec fixings and underlay. VAT at 13.5% applies on top. A three-bed semi is about 90m² of roof; a four-bed detached about 120m².
Those are indicative ranges. If you want the figures we actually invoiced rather than an estimate, they are published in full in our Irish Roofing Price Guide 2026 — a typical job, what a quarter and three quarters of our work comes in under, and how that compares against the published guides.
Roof pitch matters more than most homeowners expect — a steep pitch needs more scaffolding and takes longer to work on safely, which adds to labour cost. Access is the other big variable: a roof reachable from the road costs less to scaffold than one with a rear garden, boundary walls, or a shared driveway to navigate. Chimney and valley work is priced separately because each one is a different job — flashing, lead work and mortar repair don't scale with roof area the way tiling does. And coastal properties within a few kilometres of the sea need corrosion-resistant fixings and fittings, which is reflected in the coastal uplift above.
Our site surveys take around 30 minutes. A surveyor will inspect your roof, identify any underlying issues, and provide a written itemised quote — no vague estimates, no hidden charges on completion.
Every quote is backed by our 10-year written workmanship guarantee.

Material is the single biggest cost lever after roof area. Here is what the main options look like in 2026 on a supplied-and-fitted basis.
Concrete tile — the most common covering on Irish estate homes. Full re-roof on a three-bed semi: €8,000 to €18,000. Best value on a straightforward re-roof where longevity and cost are the main considerations.
Natural slate (Spanish or Welsh) — full re-roof on a three-bed semi: €12,000 to €28,000. Spanish slate dominates the mid-market; Welsh slate is used on period homes and protected structures. Natural slate carries a long lifespan and suits older properties where appearance and durability matter.
Flat roofing, EPDM and GRP — both install at €90 to €140 per m² and both offer a significantly longer service life than traditional felt, which we no longer recommend for new work. Where the existing deck has deteriorated, deck replacement adds roughly €30 to €50 per m² on top.
A targeted repair makes sense when the roof is fundamentally sound and the problem is isolated. When battens, felt and covering have all deteriorated across the whole roof, a full replacement done once usually costs less over time than repeated repairs to a structure that cannot hold them. Signs a roof may be past repair: daylight visible through the attic, damp patches on multiple ceilings, sand-like debris in gutters (mortar from a failing ridge), and slates or tiles that lift by hand.
A properly itemised Irish roofing quote should break out: strip and disposal of the existing covering (including skip hire); breathable underlay membrane and treated battens; tiles or slates with a wastage allowance; ridge and hip (a dry-fix system is preferred over sand-and-cement in the Irish climate); lead flashings for chimneys and abutments; fascia, soffit and guttering where renewed; scaffolding as a separate line, if applicable; and VAT at 13.5%. Scaffolding is not automatic on every job — it is priced in only where the building is very high or sits on a busy street with heavy pedestrian traffic, and where it is needed it is always a separate, itemised line, never buried in the price.
Labour rates, access conditions and disposal costs differ between our four cities, which is why the same job can quote differently depending on where you are. Dublin carries the highest labour costs and the most demanding access and parking conditions. Cork offers a balance of supply and labour. Limerick and Galway tend to come in slightly lower on labour, though Galway's Atlantic weather exposure is a genuine factor in scheduling and material choice.
If you are re-roofing, it is the right time to consider attic insulation at the same time. The SEAI Better Energy Homes scheme offers grants toward attic insulation and, through a One Stop Shop deep retrofit, toward broader upgrades. Ask us to price insulation as a bolt-on to the re-roof work while access is already in place.
Every Recommended Roofing job carries a written guarantee, handed over before contracts are signed: repair work carries a minimum of 3 years, up to 10 years on major repair work; replacement work carries 10 years; and any job involving a gutter or roof replacement also carries the Lifetime Leak Guarantee. All work is carried out by our own directly employed crews — we do not subcontract.
"Really happy with service provided. They were extremely helpful and efficient from start to finish. An assessment and quote were provided the day after I first got in touch, and the repair was completed within a week. The issue and proposed solution were clearly explained, and I really appreciated that they recommended a proportionate repair rather than simply suggesting everything needed to be replaced. Very professional, straightforward and efficient service. Would definitely recommend!"Alice Daniels, Dublin, ★★★★★ on Google
Straight like-for-like re-roofing is exempt development under the Planning and Development Regulations. Permission is only needed if you change the material on a protected structure, alter the roof profile, or add dormers or rooflights beyond the exempt thresholds.
