Yes, recurring revenue stream every winter. Atlantic storm season (Sept-Mar) drives demand on coastal Greystones Marina, Brittas Bay and Wicklow seafront properties. Quote storm-damage emergency rates (€90-€230 per callout); document with photographs for insurance claim coordination.
Wicklow Town Centre (A67) Viking and Norman heritage (Wicklow Castle 1176, Black Castle ruins) and Wicklow Town Heritage Conservation Area have Section 57 Protected Structure status. Quote sympathetic re-roof with traditional Bangor Blue slate, hand-made clay tile, Code 5 lead flashings, ACA coordination and Wicklow County Council Conservation Officer sign-off (€500-€2,500 coordination fee) at premium €150-€265/sqm.
Yes, volume market. Wicklow Town Centre Viking and Norman / Georgian terraces (A67) and 1930s-50s Marlton Road and Rathnew stock commonly need full re-roof at 70-110 year intervals. Quote per-house (€9,000-€19,500 for full re-roof) with chimney repointing (€650-€2,100 per stack) as separate line.
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.
