What it costs

What affects the cost of your roof

Roof cost in Dublin comes down to three main things, and all three of them get confirmed in your written fixed price after the survey.

The material

Natural slate, copper, and zinc all cost more than concrete tile or fibre-cement upfront, and they tend to last far longer on the roof too.

Size and pitch

Bigger or steeper roofs need more material and more labour on site, and the steepest pitches always take longer to work on safely up there.

Access and scaffolding

High roofs, tight sites, and limited parking all add to the setup costs well before a single tile or slate even goes on the roof.

Choosing

How to choose the right material

Picking a roofing material can feel like a big decision. It usually comes down to a few questions. The right choice balances the style and age of your house, how long you plan to stay, the look you want, and what a new roof should cost over its life. If you are unsure, book a free survey and we will narrow it down with you.

Questions worth asking yourself

  • How long do you plan to stay in the house?
  • Does the material suit the style and era of your home?
  • What is the cost over the whole life of the roof, not just the upfront price?
  • How much upkeep are you happy to take on over the years?

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers from an experienced, hands-on roofing professional.

There is no single best material. Natural slate suits period and traditional homes; metal and standing seam suit modern builds and extensions; and tile or fiber-cement works well on a lot of standard houses. The right choice depends on your home, your budget, and the look you want.

Natural slate, copper, and zinc are among the longest-lasting options, which is part of why they cost more up front. Tile and fiber cement also last for many years. The right balance of cost and lifespan depends on your home and how long you plan to stay.
