Best roofing contractors Dublin:
how the job is run.
For landlords, property managers, main contractors and owners who want a clear scope: the steps, the paperwork and the safety rules behind a roofing job.
A contractor is judged by what is written down.
When the building is not your own home, you are answerable for the roof to somebody else: a tenant, an owner, a client. That makes the paper trail matter as much as the repair. What follows is the order of work for roofing contractors in Dublin who expect to be held to a scope.
If you are a homeowner who simply wants the same level of detail, you will get it here too. The process does not change with the size of the job.
A mobile platform gives the crew safe access without scaffolding the whole buildingSix stages, each one on paper.
Site survey
The roof is inspected from the slope or platform and from the underside. Findings are photographed.
Written scope and price
What will be done, what is excluded and the fixed price, before anything starts.
Access and safety
Working at height follows S.I. 318/2007. Edge protection, a tower, a platform or scaffold is chosen to suit the roof.
The work
Done to the scope. If the roof shows something unexpected, you hear before the scope changes.
Handover
The finished work is walked through with you, and the site is cleared.
Written guarantee
The 10-year workmanship cover is given to you in writing, plus the Lifetime Leak Guarantee where a whole roof was replaced.
The insurance behind the work.
Public liability cover is €6.5 million, which protects third parties and their property. Employer liability cover is €13 million, which protects the people on the roof. Both figures are stated plainly so you can compare them against what your client or insurer requires.
Before you sign anything with any contractor, ask to see the insurance paperwork, not a summary of it. We think that is a reasonable thing to ask.
Flat and low-pitch roofs for working buildings.
Shops, offices and units usually have flat or low-pitch roofs that fail at seams, upstands and outlets. Our commercial roofing page covers what is done and how it is priced, and flat roofs explains the membranes.
A leak inside an occupied HSE building.
In August 2026 we were called to a serious leak at a working Health Service Executive facility in Dublin. The building could not close, so the investigation had to be done around the people using it.
The cause was found and explained on site. The filmed account notes that missing lead flashing had let water into the walls. The lesson we took from it: on a public building, the right diagnosis matters more than speed, because sealing the wrong spot means coming back.
The other jobs we have recorded are on roofing jobs in Dublin, filmed and written up.
Questions from contractors and landlords.
What do roofing contractors in Dublin need to have in place?
Insurance that matches the risk, a safe system for working at height under S.I. 318/2007, a written scope with a fixed price, and a guarantee on the work. Ask for each in writing before the job is agreed.
Do you work for property managers and landlords?
Yes. A roof on a rented house, an apartment block or a unit starts the same way as any other: a survey, a written scope and a fixed price.
Do you take on commercial roofs?
Yes. Low-pitch and flat roofs on shops, offices and units are repaired or renewed, and priced after a survey.
Can you work around an occupied building?
That is the normal case on commercial and public premises. One of the jobs described below was a leak inside a working HSE building in Dublin, where the investigation had to be carried out around the people using it.
Who carries the insurance?
Recommended Roofing does. Public liability cover is €6.5 million and employer liability cover is €13 million.
Can I see a written scope before I commit?
Yes. The survey ends with a written account of what is wrong, what will be done and what the price does and does not cover.
What guarantee covers contractor work?
A written 10-year guarantee on workmanship, and the Lifetime Leak Guarantee where a complete roof is replaced.

Proof from the big names
A logo on its own proves little, so here is the work. These are roles Recommended Roofing already publishes on its own site, shown with the photographs and film from the jobs.
Branch building maintenance and re-roofingBank of Ireland
Chosen only after pre-qualification on insurance, safety systems and financial standing. A bank checks all three before it lets anyone onto a branch roof.
The photographs show the work in progress: a branch building fully scaffolded for roof repairs, the slate edge of a bank roof being put right, and the gutters of a second branch, in Sligo, being restored. Sligo is outside Dublin; it is here because a bank's branches are the best reference a roofer can have.
