- Ask what guarantee is given and whether it is written
- For older fibre-cement slates, ask how asbestos risk will be assessed

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need permission to re-roof a protected structure?
Work to a protected structure or in a conservation area may need planning approval. Check with your council first.
How much does slate roof restoration cost in Dublin?
Typically €10,000–€30,000, depending on the size of the house, access and specification.
How do I choose a contractor for slate roof restoration?
Get at least two itemised written quotes, ask to see recent similar work, and check registrations, insurance and guarantees.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?
A temporary tarp or make-safe can be done in most weather. Permanent repairs need dry conditions, especially for flat roofs and lead work.
Does insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most policies cover sudden storm damage, but not wear and tear. Photograph the damage and get a written report from the roofer.
How long does a roof last?
Natural slate roofs can last 60 years or more; concrete tiles around 40–60 years; felt flat roofs 10–20 years; EPDM and GRP flat roofs 25 years or more.
