A full roof replacement is likely the single biggest investment you will make in your home. In Cork, a "standard" roof doesn't cut it.
Between the salt air of the coast and the relentless driving rain of the Lee Valley, your roof needs to be an engineered system, not just a layer of tiles.
At Hallmark Roofing, we specialise in complete re-roofing projects that combine traditional Irish craftsmanship with modern high-performance materials.
We don't just swap old tiles for new ones; we strip your roof back to the rafters, reinforce the structure, and install a breathable, watertight system designed to last for the next 50 to 100 years.

We understand that having your roof replaced is stressful. Our process is designed to be fast, clean, and transparent.
Structural Strip-Down: we remove all old slates, tiles, and the original "bitumen" felt (which often becomes brittle and holds moisture).
Rafter Inspection: Unlike many contractors, we spend time inspecting your roof timbers for dry rot or woodworm while they are exposed. If we find issues, we fix them then and there.
Breathable Membrane Installation: We replace old-fashioned felt with modern breathable membranes. This allows moisture from your house to escape while preventing rain from getting in.
Specialist Battening: We use pressure-treated timber battens, spaced precisely to the millimetre, ensuring your new tiles or slates are perfectly aligned and secure.
Final Tiling/Slating: Your choice of premium natural slate, concrete tile, or clay, installed with non-rusting copper or stainless steel fixings.
Real people. Real workmanship. Real results.
We believe in financial transparency. While every roof is unique, here is what you can realistically expect to pay for a professional, fully-insured roof replacement in the Cork region this year:
| Property Type | Estimated Size | Typical Price Range |
| Terraced House | 50m² – 70m² | €5,000 – €7,500 |
| Semi-Detached | 80m² – 100m² | €7,500 – €11,000 |
| Large Detached | 120m² – 150m² | €12,000 – €18,000+ |
Note: Prices include VAT, scaffolding, waste disposal, and all premium materials. High-end natural slate will sit at the top of these ranges.
We help you navigate the best materials for our unique climate. While Assist Roofing provides a generic list, we offer local expertise on performance:
Natural Slate: The "Gold Standard" for Cork. We recommend Spanish or Brazilian slates for their incredible resistance to frost and acidic rain.
Concrete Tiles: A robust, cost-effective option popular in modern Cork developments (like Douglas and Ballincollig). We use tiles with high-performance coatings that resist moss and lichen growth.
Zinc & Copper Detailing: For high-end or coastal homes in Kinsale or Crosshaven, we provide specialist metalwork that survives salt-spray corrosion where lead might fail.
For an average semi-detached home in Cork, the process typically takes 4 to 6 working days, depending on the weather. We work in sections to ensure your home is never left vulnerable to rain overnight.
Absolutely. There is some noise involved during the day, but we ensure the site is safe and the house remains habitable throughout the project.
Not always. However, if your roof is over 40 years old and has original felt, the "nail sickness" may be widespread. We will give you an honest appraisal: if a repair is enough, we’ll tell you. If a replacement is the only safe long-term option, we’ll explain why.
While there isn't a direct "New Roof Grant" for everyone, the Individual Energy Upgrade Grant (SEAI) can cover a significant portion of the cost if you are upgrading your roof insulation at the same time. Older residents may also qualify for the Housing Aid for Older People Grant.
We aren't just "roofers"; we are local experts.
Planning Permission: Most like-for-like roof replacements in Cork are "Exempted Development," but if you are in a Protected Structure or an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) in the city centre, we can help navigate the specific requirements.
Energy Efficiency: A new roof is the perfect time to upgrade your attic insulation. We can install high-grade quilt or rigid board insulation during the process, significantly lowering your BER rating and your heating bills.
Safety & Logistics: We handle all scaffolding permits and skip hire, ensuring your neighbours are respected and your driveway is kept clear.

Every full roof replacement by Hallmark Roofing comes with a 20-year Workmanship Guarantee and a manufacturer's warranty on materials (often up to 50 years).
We are fully insured with Public and Employer’s Liability, giving you total peace of mind while we are on your property.
