Roof Care
Roof Maintenance Cork: Cleaning, Inspection, Restoration & Drone Survey
A maintained Cork roof costs 50–60% less over 40 years than a reactive-only one. Most of that gap is preventable failures we catch with a drone inspection before they turn into ceiling stains. This hub links to the dedicated page for each maintenance service we offer.

Roof Cleaning
Soft-wash, slate-safe, no pressure-wash damage. Biocide treatment lasts 5–7 years.
Roof Restoration

Roof Inspection
Annual or 5-yearly inspection. Photo report split into Now / 12-month / Good buckets.
Drone Roof Inspection
IAA-licensed drone survey. €100 fixed, refunded against repair. 4K video + photo report.
Roof Painting & Cleaning
Tile colour restoration after the moss is gone. Cork-suitable masonry paint systems.
Lead Valley Repair
Code 5 lead replacement on 1900–1940 Cork terraces. Catch valleys before the ceiling stains.
Insurance Roof Repairs
Storm-damage documentation for Aviva, Allianz, AXA, FBD, Zurich and other Irish insurers.
The Cork roof maintenance calendar
Every 3–5 years (every 5–7 inland): drone inspection — €100 fixed, picks up flashing and valley issues invisible from the ground. Every 4–7 years: soft-wash roof cleaning with biocide treatment. Year 8–12 on coastal Cork: galvanised-to-stainless fixings refresh (the highest-ROI preventative job — see the coastal Cork salt erosion guide). Year 25–40 on 1900s/1930s housing: lead valley replacement before the underlay rots.
If a roof has already taken storm damage, skip the maintenance schedule and go to insurance roof repairs for the claim documentation pack. We work with every major Irish insurer's loss-adjuster format.
