Roof Types We Work With
Emergency Roofers Ireland provides professional installation, repairs and maintenance for all major roofing systems used across Ireland. Every roof has different strengths, requirements and ideal applications. Our team has over twenty years of experience working with tile roofing, slate roofing and felt roofing, ensuring reliable, long-lasting and weather-resistant solutions for every property type.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the main roof types we specialise in, including their benefits, durability, typical uses and repair considerations.
Tile Roofs
Tile roofs are one of the most durable and visually appealing roofing systems in Ireland. Made from either clay or concrete, tile roofs offer exceptional longevity, weather resistance and a premium appearance that suits both modern and traditional homes.
Tile roofs can withstand harsh Irish weather conditions including heavy winds, rain and storms. They are also fire-resistant, low-maintenance and excellent for long-term structural protection. However, individual tiles can sometimes crack, slip or break due to impact or age, requiring professional replacement to prevent water ingress.
Common tile roof services we provide:
- Cracked and broken tile replacement
- Slate-to-tile conversions and tile upgrades
- Tile roof leak detection and repair
- Ridge tile rebedding and repointing
- Underlay and membrane repairs
- Storm damage tile repairs
Tile roofs are built to last 50β100 years when properly maintained, making them one of the best long-term investments for Irish homes.
Slate Roofs
Slate roofing is known for its elegant appearance, natural durability and extremely long lifespan. Irish properties frequently use natural slate due to its ability to withstand severe weather while maintaining a timeless, attractive look.
Slate is resistant to frost, fire, mould and moisture, making it one of the strongest roofing materials available. However, individual slates can slip or become damaged due to age, poor previous workmanship or storms. We specialise in accurate slate repairs that preserve the strength and visual appeal of your roof.
Our slate roofing services include:
- Slate replacement and re-slating
- Repairing slipped or loose slates
- Lead flashing repairs and upgrades
- Ridge and hip slate repairs
- Storm damage restoration
- Breathable membrane and batten repairs
A well-maintained slate roof can last over a century, providing exceptional protection and value when cared for by roofing professionals.
Felt Roofs
Felt roofing is one of the most popular flat roofing systems in Ireland due to its affordability, flexibility and excellent waterproofing abilities. Modern high-performance felt systems are far more durable than older traditional felt roofs and provide long-lasting leak protection when installed correctly.
Felt roofing is commonly used on extensions, garages, sheds, porches and commercial flat roofs. Over time, felt can blister, crack or separate at the seams, which can allow water to pool and eventually leak into the property. We provide expert felt roof repairs and full felt re-roofing systems.
Our felt roofing services include:
- Felt patch repairs and seam resealing
- Full felt re-roofing and torch-on felt systems
- Emergency flat roof leak repairs
- Rotten boarding and decking replacement
- Flat roof drainage correction
- Storm and wind damage restoration
With the right materials and installation, felt roofs can last 15β25 years and offer excellent value for homeowners seeking a reliable waterproof system.
