Emergency Roof Repair Cork — Same-Day Make-Safe Across Cork City and County
Active leak in the ceiling, slates on the lawn after a gale, lead pulled away from a chimney, or a tree branch through the roof — these are all emergency roof repair Cork jobs and we attend the same day.

What an emergency roof repair Cork callout looks like
Phone the team on 021 202 8387 or send a quick photo of the leak by WhatsApp. We dispatch from Cork City — typical arrival 60–120 minutes inside the N40, 1.5–3 hours to mid and west County Cork. The first vehicle carries tarps, battens, breathable underlay, code 4 and code 5 lead, spare slates, ridge mortar, and a drone for fast inspection.
Three things to do before we arrive
- Move furniture, electronics and rugs clear of the active drip.
- Put a bucket under the drip — and a second bucket nearby in case the first overflows.
- Photograph the ceiling stain (date-stamped) for the insurance file if it is a storm claim.
Emergency Cork roof repair pricing (2026)

The permanent fix follows in 24–72h
The same-day make-safe is not the full repair — it is the temporary measure that stops further damage. Within 24 hours you will receive an itemised written quote covering materials, labour, scaffold, skip and VAT for the permanent repair. Most permanent fixes go on the diary within 48–72 hours of acceptance.
Insurance-led emergency repairs
If the leak is the result of storm, fallen tree, lightning strike or wind damage, we document the cause with dated drone imagery and supply the quote in the format Irish home insurers expect. We liaise directly with the loss adjuster so you do not have to. See our insurance roof repairs Cork page for the documentation checklist.
