Roof repair cost Dublin:
2026 guide prices.
What common roofing jobs cost in Dublin, what moves a price up or down, and how to read a quote line by line.
A range now. A fixed figure after a survey.
Nobody can price your roof without seeing it. What we can do is show where common jobs usually sit. The table below is that range. Every figure is a guide for 2026 and every one is plus VAT.
The rest of the page explains what pulls a job to the cheap end or the dear end, and how to read the written quote when it arrives.

Guide figures for 2026, plus VAT. They are not a quote. The fixed figure comes after a survey, because the roof itself, not the table, decides it.
Six things that change the figure.
Size and pitch
More roof is more material and more days. A steep pitch slows the work and asks for more careful access.
The covering
Slate, concrete tile and a flat membrane differ in cost and in how long they take to lay.
Access
A terrace with no room at the front, or a roof reachable only from a narrow lane, can need a platform or extra scaffold.
What lies underneath
Battens, felt and rafters often show their condition only when the old covering is lifted. The survey looks from the attic to get ahead of this.
Chimneys and valleys
Every join between one part of the roof and another needs lead and time.
How soon
A repair done before a leak has reached the ceiling costs less than one done after, when the inside has to be made good too.
What the written price should contain.
After the survey, you receive a fixed price on paper. A quote is only comparable to another one if it spells out what is in it. Ours states:
- What the survey found, with photographs
- The work that will be done, item by item
- What the price does not cover
- The guarantee that applies, and its length
- The price, plus VAT, as a single fixed figure
Compare two quotes line by line.
Put them side by side and ask of each:
- Is access, scaffold or a tower included?
- Are battens and felt replaced or reused?
- Is lead included at chimneys and valleys?
- Is the old material taken away?
- Who gives the guarantee, and for how long?
- Is VAT included or added later?
Questions on cost.
How much does a new roof cost in Dublin?
As a 2026 guide, plus VAT: a concrete tile roof is €8,000–€18,000 and a natural slate roof is €12,000–€28,000+. The fixed figure follows a survey.
How much does roof repair cost in Dublin?
Stopping a leak is guided at €400–€2,500, chimney repairs at €800–€3,500 and a valley rebuild at €1,200–€4,500, all plus VAT.
How much is a flat roof per square metre?
The guide for a flat roof in EPDM or GRP is €90–€140 per m², plus VAT. Access, size and the state of the deck move it.
What does emergency storm repair cost?
Guided at €1,500–€8,000+ plus VAT, depending on how much damage there is. Making the roof safe comes first.
Do these prices include VAT?
No. VAT is added on top of every guide figure.
Is a guide figure a quote?
No. A quote is the fixed price in writing that you receive after the survey.
What if the roof is something other than in the table?
Anything not listed, such as unusual lead work, rooflights or commercial roofs, is priced after a survey. It is not guessed at.
Why do two quotes for the same roof differ?
Usually they are not pricing the same job. Compare what each includes: scaffold or access, new battens and felt, lead, clearing away the old material and the guarantee.
Detail on each job is on roof repairs, roof replacement and flat roofs. If you are comparing firms, see what to look for in a roofing company in Dublin and recommended roofers in Dublin.
