Roof repairs in Ennis, done properly the first time
Ennis Roof Repairs looks after leaking, storm-damaged and worn roofs across Ennis and County Clare. Whether it is a single slipped slate over a bedroom, a flat roof on a kitchen extension that has started to pond, or a chimney stack that lets water in every time the wind swings to the south-west, the aim is the same: find the real cause, fix it, and leave the roof sound for the winters ahead.
Clare roofs take more punishment than most. The county faces straight into the Atlantic, so wind-driven rain arrives sideways rather than straight down, and gusts lift slates, ridge tiles and flashing that would never move further inland. Storm Éowyn in January 2025 showed how quickly a whole county's roofs can be damaged in a single night. Much of the work around Ennis is the slow damage too - moss lifting tiles, gutters choked with leaves, mortar washed out of ridges and old lead that has finally cracked.
Common roof problems we fix in Clare

- Slipped, cracked or missing slates and concrete tiles
- Loose or missing ridge and hip tiles after high winds

- Overflowing gutters, leaking joints and rotten fascia boards
Not sure what is wrong? Take a few photos from the ground or from an upstairs window and send them with a quote request. It usually helps to show where water is getting in, and roughly what kind of roof you have.

Ennis roofs: what we usually see
Ennis has a real mix of roofs. The older streets around O'Connell Street, Abbey Street and Parnell Street have natural slate, chimney stacks and lead valleys that are often a century old or more. Natural slate lasts a very long time, but the nails holding it (nail fatigue) and the lead around chimneys eventually give up, and that is where most leaks in town-centre buildings start.
Out along the Gort Road, Tulla Road, Kilrush Road and Limerick Road, most homes have concrete tiles or fibre-cement slates from the 1970s onwards. These roofs suffer most from wind lifting ridge tiles, mortar breaking down and moss building up on the north-facing side. Across rural Clare there are many bungalows with long, exposed roof slopes and kitchen or garage extensions with flat roofs that are often the first thing to leak.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a roof repair cost in Ennis?
It depends on the type of roof, how easy it is to reach and what has actually failed. Replacing a few slipped slates is a small job; re-doing chimney flashing or a section of flat roof is more involved. You get a clear, itemised price after the roof has been looked at, and before any work starts.
Can you stop a leak quickly after a storm?
Urgent leaks are prioritised. Where a full repair cannot be done straight away, for example in high winds, the roof can usually be made watertight temporarily and the permanent repair booked in once conditions allow.
Do you cover the whole of County Clare?
Ennis and the surrounding area are covered as standard, including Clarecastle, Barefield, Quin, Crusheen, Corofin, Tulla and Newmarket-on-Fergus. Shannon, Ennistymon, Lahinch, Kilrush and Kilkee are covered by arrangement.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos are very helpful and often allow a rough idea of the problem before anyone visits. A firm price normally needs the roof to be checked in person, because the cause of a leak is not always where the water appears.
Is it worth repairing an old roof or should I replace it?
Most roofs can be repaired. Replacement only makes sense when the covering is failing across the whole roof, for example widespread nail fatigue on an old slate roof. You will be told honestly which applies to your roof.
What should I do while I wait for a roofer?
Move belongings away from the leak, put a bucket under drips and, if water is collecting in a bulging ceiling, keep people clear of it. Do not go up on the roof yourself in wet or windy weather.
Do you repair flat roofs on extensions?
Yes. Felt, EPDM rubber and GRP fibreglass flat roofs are all repaired. Small splits and failed joints can often be patched; badly ponding or perished roofs may need a new covering.
Do you fix gutters and fascia as well as roofs?
Yes. Blocked or leaking gutters are one of the most common causes of damp walls in Clare, and they are often fixed during the same visit as a roof repair.
