CORK CITY & COUNTY
Roof inspections across Cork for homeowners, landlords, businesses and buyers. Understand the condition of your roof and agree whether you need a quotation or written report.
We inspect roofs for homeowners, landlords, businesses and property buyers across Cork City and County. Whether you are concerned about a leak, storm damage, an ageing roof or a recurring problem, an inspection can help you plan maintenance or decide between repair and replacement.
A visit to assess work and provide a quotation is different from commissioning a documented roof-condition inspection. Tell us what you need to find out before booking.
Depending on the property and agreed access, we assess slate and tiled roof coverings, flat roofs, chimneys, valleys, flashing, gutters and roof junctions. We look for visible defects and signs that an area needs repair, maintenance or further investigation.
You do not need to wait until water appears inside. An inspection can be useful for:
We can assess accessible areas and identify visible damage or signs of a problem. Components beneath tiles, slates or other coverings may need opening-up or further investigation. A surface inspection cannot confirm the condition of every hidden structural component; we explain any access limitations and where more investigation is needed.
We explain what needs attention, what can be monitored and where further investigation may be appropriate. An inspection is not an automatic recommendation to replace a roof: if it is in good condition, our advice should reflect that. Where repairs are appropriate, we can provide a separate quotation for the work.
A visit to assess roofing work or defects and prepare a quotation for the proposed work.
A separate service where photographs and/or a written report are required. Agree the areas to be inspected and what the report must cover before booking.
A roof-condition inspection with photographs and a written report is currently indicated at €220–€320, depending on the property, access and agreed scope. This is an indicative range: confirm the current charge and report contents before booking. Published prices are plus VAT and exclude scaffolding.
For a property purchase or another third-party purpose, explain any lender, insurer or solicitor requirements in advance. Suitability for that purpose must be discussed and agreed; a roof inspection does not replace a structural survey.
Have the property address, Eircode, roof type and reason for the inspection ready when you contact us. Inspections that include photographs and a written report have a 1-day turnaround. Tell us what you need the report to establish so we can agree its scope before booking.
