Calling an Emergency Roofer in Cork — What to Expect

A good emergency call-out stops the water and nothing more. Anyone selling you a re-roof in the rain is selling, not helping.

The first visit

Make safe: temporary sheeting, securing loose slates and ridge tiles, clearing anything at risk of falling. It is a holding measure and any honest roofer will say so. The price for it should be stated before work begins.

What should happen next

A daylight survey in safe conditions, photographs of the full extent of the damage and a written itemised quote for the permanent repair. You should have time to read it and, if you want, get a second price.

Warning signs

Cash-only demands, large up-front deposits, no written quote, no insurance details, and pressure to sign immediately during a storm. Storm chasers appear in Cork after every named storm and they leave nothing behind but a bill.
