Cobh is a Cork harbour town where Atlantic storms and salt air put roofs under constant strain. Its stock ranges from period seafront terraces to modern estates — all needing corrosion-aware roofing. Here's what we work on.
Cobh's older seafront terraces take the full force of coastal weather. Slate slippage, eroded pointing and salt-corroded flashings are the recurring issues.
Standard nails and flashings corrode faster in Cobh's salt air. We re-roof with corrosion-resistant fixings and upgraded lead/flashing detailing built to last on the coast.
Newer Cobh estates use concrete tile and dry-ridge systems — but exposure means ridge and flashing maintenance comes around sooner than inland.
Extensions and garages in Cobh are best re-covered in EPDM or GRP — the most durable systems against wind-driven, salt-laden rain.
