DublinRoofing.ie is a plain-English information site for Dublin homeowners thinking about a repair, a full re-roof, a flat-roof job, or an SEAI insulation grant. We are not a roofing contractor. We do not carry out work. We publish typical price ranges, the questions worth asking a roofer, and links to the official sources so you can shop your own quotes.
Straight version, because a lot of Irish roofing sites are misleading about who runs them.
An independent information site written for Dublin homeowners. Cost ranges, SEAI grant notes, and questions to ask before hiring. Written by one person, updated when policy or market rates change.
Not a roofing contractor. Not a lead-generation broker with a vetted panel. We do not currently forward submissions to roofers, do not promise quotes, and do not guarantee response times.
Get at least three written, itemised quotes from independent Dublin contractors you find yourself. Check insurance. See our choosing a roofer checklist. For urgent work, contact roofers directly today.
Typical Dublin ranges. Every job is different — always confirm with a written quote for your address.
Slipped slates, leaks, storm damage, ridge repointing. Costs vary widely with severity and access. Read the repair cost guide.
Full strip-and-reroof for a typical Dublin house. Price depends heavily on material, size and what's under the old covering. Read the new roof cost guide.
EPDM, PVC, felt — common on extensions and garages. Repair costs and per-m² replacement rates in the flat roof cost guide.
uPVC guttering and trim replacement can prevent damp and structural damage. Full guide coming; ask any contractor for an itemised quote.
Repointing, flashing, cowl fitting, or full rebuild — often done alongside roof work. Get separate line items on your quote.
Attic and rafter insulation is one of the cheapest energy retrofits. Grant amounts and eligibility are published by SEAI — see the section below.
These are typical ranges gathered from publicly available Irish trade sources and market averages. They are indicative only. Every roof is different — the only price that matters for your job is the written quote a contractor gives you after seeing it. Get at least three.
| Job | Typical range (indicative) |
|---|---|
| Slate repair (a few slates) | Low hundreds of euro upwards |
| Roof leak repair | Few hundred to low four figures, depending on cause |
| Flat roof repair | Low four figures typical; access-dependent |
| Guttering / fascia replacement (semi-D) | Low four figures |
| Chimney repointing + flashing | Mid three figures to low four figures |
| New roof — per m² (materials + labour) | Ranges by material; slate typically higher than clay tile |
| Full re-roof — 3-bed semi | Substantial five-figure job; wide range by material and condition |
| Full re-roof — 4-bed detached | Higher again; larger surface area, more scaffolding |
These ranges are indicative and change with material prices, VAT, labour availability and scaffolding needs. Scaffolding is often billed separately. Do not rely on any range on this page as a final price — get three written quotes for your specific job. Last reviewed July 2026.
Read the full cost guide →Attic and rafter insulation is one of the cheapest energy retrofits and is grant-supported by SEAI. Amounts change from time to time — always check the current figures on seai.ie before you start.
SEAI's Better Energy Homes scheme covers attic and rafter insulation for eligible homeowners. Grant amounts, top-up tiers for lower-income households, and the exact eligibility rules are published on seai.ie. Amounts have changed several times — do not rely on any number quoted anywhere else, including this page.
Eligibility rules typically cover the property build/occupation date and use of an SEAI-registered contractor. The current rules are on SEAI's official site — the definitive source for a specific address is SEAI, not us. Do not assume you qualify based on general information online.
Broadly: apply on seai.ie before work starts, use a contractor from SEAI's registered list, and follow SEAI's process for the specific measure. The current step-by-step is on seai.ie. If in doubt, phone SEAI directly to confirm before signing a quote.
A poorly insulated roof lets a meaningful share of household heat escape upward — SEAI publishes typical loss and payback figures for each measure on its site. Attic insulation is one of the shortest-payback retrofits for most Irish homes.
Grant figures on any information site (including this one) can go out of date. Before hiring, always confirm the current amount directly on seai.ie or by phone. Last reviewed July 2026.
Content is written with Dublin homeowners in mind — city, county, and the postcode-facing suburbs. Roof stock, access and typical labour rates vary across these areas.
We are not a roofing company. We are not paid by contractors to steer you to them. The site's job is to help you ask better questions — not to sell you a specific roofer's slot.
Costs, grants and consumer-rights notes are written for the Irish market — not lifted from UK or US roofing sites. Where a figure comes from an official Irish source, we link to that source directly.
Three written, itemised quotes from independent Dublin contractors is the single best protection you have. Any information site — including this one — is a supplement to that, not a substitute for it.
The contact form goes to a real person. Ask a question, flag an out-of-date figure, or point out something we've missed. We do not promise a specific response time and we don't route your message to any contractor.
This form sends a short message to the independent site owner. It is read by one person. We do not forward it to a contractor, and we do not promise a quote, a call-back or a specific response time. If your roof problem is urgent, please contact independent Dublin roofers directly today and get multiple written quotes.
