Hi folks,
lately we did a quick Roof Repair Cost Survey with some roofers. There has been a lot of storms in recent months and some roofs have been damaged so we wanted to get an idea of the minimum cost involved in carrying out a simple roof repair job. We asked some roofers to give us a rough estimate of what it would cost to repair or replace a roof tile that has blown off. We also asked them to give any advice or suggestions to maintain a roof in good condition and prevent tiles from getting loose and falling off?

Storms seem to be getting more regular in Ireland these days. It seems like there’s hardly a month that goes by that we don’t have some sort of a storm or a storm warning. The West of the country usually gets it the worst as most of the weather comes in from the Atlantic but when it does come from the East, it really let’s us have it, as we experienced during Storm Ophelia in 2017.

Here are some tips to protect your home in the event of a storm and to help you deal with the problems that it may cause:-
