Includes strip-off, breathable membrane, battens, slate, ridges, leadwork (Code 4 / Code 5 lead or copper), Velux integration.

Newtown Pery Georgian Protected Structures require sympathetic natural slate (Killaloe or Welsh), traditional copper or lead leadwork, retained chimney stacks and ridge tiles. Quote Section 57 declaration coordination (€800-€3,500), Limerick City and County Council Conservation Officer engagement, longer programme. Ultra-premium tier.
High rainfall (~1,000mm/year) and strong Atlantic wind drive storm-rated installations (mechanical fix every tile/slate, breathable membrane, secondary drainage) on exposed elevations. Quote storm clips, additional fixing, and wind-rated breather membrane (Cromar, Klober, Tyvek) as visible line items on every re-roof.
Hourly rates are €40 to €87 in the US, £35-85 in the UK, A€47-150 in Australia, R280-750 in South Africa, and C€40-140 in Canada. Most roofers prefer fixed-price by square metre for installs and reserve hourly for repairs and inspections.
A typical 3-bed single-storey home takes 4-7 working days for a strip-and-replace, including new sarking and ridge bedding. Larger or steeper roofs run 7-14 days. Weather delays add 1-3 days in winter or wet season.
Yes, 2-3 quotes for any reroof over €3,330. Compare materials (tile brand, sheet thickness), sarking inclusion, gutter scope, and warranty length. The cheapest quote often skips sarking or uses budget-grade fixings.
A proper inspection walks the roof, photographs every section, checks battens, flashings, valleys, gutters, and the ceiling cavity for water staining. Reports run 4-8 pages with photo evidence. Drone-only inspections miss too much; insist on a roof-walk.
Most regions: like-for-like reroofs do not need permits, but switching material (tile to sheet) sometimes does. Heritage-listed properties always need approval. The roofer should know and include permits as a line item.
