The ridge tiles along the top of your roof take the full force of Cork wind and rain. Over the years the mortar holding them in place cracks, shrinks and washes out, leaving tiles loose and letting water into the roof space. Cork Roof Repairs repoints and re-beds ridge and hip tiles on homes and commercial properties across Cork city and county.
Not every ridge needs the same fix. Where the tiles are sound and only the pointing has failed, we rake out the loose mortar and repoint the joints. Where the bedding underneath has broken down, we lift the tiles, clean them, and re-bed them on fresh mortar so they sit firmly again. Cracked or broken tiles are replaced with matching ones.
On some roofs a dry ridge system is the better long-term option. It fixes each ridge tile mechanically instead of relying on mortar alone, which means far less maintenance in future. We will tell you honestly which approach suits your roof and why.
While we are on the roof, we check the slates or tiles, flashings and valleys near the ridge and let you know if anything else needs attention, with photos so you can see it for yourself.

Gaps along the joints between ridge tiles, or mortar crumbling away, are the first sign the pointing has failed.
If a tile has moved or you can see daylight under it, the bedding has broken down and the tile needs re-bedding before wind lifts it off.
Pieces of mortar in your garden or gutters usually come from the ridge or hips above.
Water getting in at the ridge often shows up as damp on top-floor ceilings or in the attic.
High winds are the most common reason ridge tiles move or fall. It is worth having them checked after a bad storm, even if nothing looks wrong from the ground.
Growth along the ridge holds moisture against the mortar and speeds up its breakdown.

01
We take a look
A leak rarely starts where it shows up inside. We get up on the roof, check the covering, flashing and junctions, and work out what's actually causing it, not just where it's coming through.
02
You get a price
We tell you what needs doing now and what can wait, then put it in writing. You'll know the cost before we start, and we're happy to answer questions before you decide anything.
03

We carry out the agreed work, check it over before we sign off, and take the mess with us. You're left with a roof that holds and a site that's as tidy as we found it.

Superb quality of installation from Benjamin and his team on a large flat roof project. The team were a pleasure to deal with and delivered high quality work throughout.
Top quality trades men I have had no issues since they repaired my roof. It will weather any storm. Good lads keep up the good workmanship.
After years of patching up small issues, we finally decided to invest in a full roof replacement. Cork Roof Repairs helped us choose high-quality slate tiles, and we're beyond impressed with the results.
The job was completed on schedule, and the final result exceeded my expectations. My roof looks great, and I feel confident knowing it was done by experienced professionals who truly care about their work.
We called Cork Roof Repairs to deal with a leak around our chimney, and they discovered the flashing had deteriorated. They replaced it quickly and also cleaned out years of debris from the gutters.
Had a complete roof repair on my extension carried out by Benjamin and his team. Highly recommend this company. Benjamin is a very nice guy and his business proved trustworthy and honourable.
The moss build-up on our roof was out of control, and it was starting to cause water staining on the walls. Cork Roof Repairs carefully removed the moss and applied a protective sealant to prevent regrowth.
