What does a roofer do?
Roof repair and replacement — slates, tiles, flat roofs, ridge tiles, gutters, and chimneys — by vetted, insured local roofers.
Roofers install, repair, and maintain pitched and flat roofs — slate, tile, metal, felt, EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass. Roof repair and replacement covers everything above the wall plate: rafters, sarking, breathable membrane, battens, slates or tiles, ridge tiles, valleys, hips, flashings, gutters, fascias, soffits, and chimneys. A typical Irish domestic roofer handles maintenance — cracked or slipped slates, ridge re-bedding, gutter clearing, leak repair — and partial re-roofing more often than full roof replacement, which happens every 60–100 years on a well-maintained Irish slate roof.
Most reactive Irish roofing work is repair: high-wind season in autumn and winter brings slipped slates, displaced ridge tiles, blocked or cracked gutters, and chimney flashing failures. Proactive work — annual inspection, chimney pointing, ridge re-bedding — is cheap insurance against bigger damage. When evaluating a roofer, ask about IRA (Irish Roofing Association) membership where possible and always for evidence of public liability insurance — roofing work has a higher claim frequency than most trades. Before committing to a full re-roof, insist on an itemised quote that separates strip, materials, labour, and scaffolding, and ask how much of the existing slate can be salvaged and re-laid.

How much does a roofer cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Roofing prices vary more than almost any trade — job type, roof pitch, access, and scaffolding all move the figure. The ranges below are indicative Irish prices, not quotes; your matched roofer will price the job properly after seeing the roof. Small repairs are usually priced as a callout plus materials, while larger jobs are priced per square metre or as a fixed sum. For anything beyond a minor repair, insist on an itemised quote that separates labour, materials, and scaffolding.
Replacing 5–10 slipped slates is typically €180–€350 (callout plus per-slate). Re-bedding ridge tiles on a 3-bed semi runs €600–€1,400. Chimney repointing is €350–€800 depending on access. Full lead flashing replacement around a chimney is €450–€900. Gutter and fascia replacement on a 3-bed semi is €1,800–€3,500. Flat roof replacement (typical kitchen extension, 12m²) is €2,200–€4,500 depending on system. Full re-roof of a 3-bed semi (slate strip and re-lay) is €18,000–€32,000. Scaffolding adds €600–€1,400 for most domestic jobs.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Roofer FAQs
How often should I have my roof inspected?
Annually for older roofs (50+ years), every 2–3 years for newer roofs. After major storms, a quick external inspection from ground level (binoculars) is worth doing. Look for: missing or slipped slates, displaced ridge tiles, daylight in the attic from underneath, water staining on attic ceilings, blocked gutters with plant growth. Catching issues early prevents internal damage which is what makes repairs expensive.
Can a single slipped slate cause damage?
Yes, surprisingly often. One missing slate exposes the felt below to UV and weather; the felt deteriorates, then water reaches the timber underneath. Within 12 months a single slipped slate can lead to felt damage and timber rot in that area. A €30 slate replacement, done in autumn, prevents a €1,500–€3,000 internal repair the following year. Don't delay slate repairs.
How long does an Irish slate roof last?
Natural slate (typically Spanish, Welsh, or Irish): 80–120 years for the slate itself. Slates fail individually toward the end of life from edge erosion or perforation. Reclaimed slate at the end of one roof can give another 40–60 years on a new roof. Concrete tile roofs: 40–60 years. Felt-roof systems: 15–25 years. Always ask the roofer the expected remaining life when considering whether to repair or re-roof.
Should I replace gutters when re-roofing?
Usually yes if they're original. Gutters and downpipes are typically 80% of the way through their useful life by the time the roof needs significant work. Doing both together saves scaffolding cost and ensures the new roof has a clean handover to working drainage. PVC gutters: 25–35 year lifespan. Cast iron (period homes): much longer with regular paint. Aluminium: 40–60 years.
Flat roof — felt vs EPDM vs GRP?
Felt: cheapest at €70–€100 per m² fitted, lifespan 15–20 years. EPDM rubber: €110–€160 per m², lifespan 30–50 years, modern standard for most flat roof replacements. GRP fibreglass: €130–€180 per m², lifespan 25–35 years, hard-wearing and walkable, good for balconies and roofs with regular access. For a typical kitchen extension flat roof, EPDM is the most common modern choice — long lifespan and reliable seam method.
Will my number be passed around to multiple roofers?
No. Jobiit isn't a bidding marketplace where dozens of businesses compete for your details. Your job goes to one matched local roofer — the closest, best-rated match — who is ID-verified through Stripe Identity and holds valid public liability insurance (minimum €6.5M for most trades). Messaging happens in-app, posting is free, and most homeowners receive a quote within a few hours.
