Cork’s temperate maritime climate, characterised by frequent rain, strong winds, and occasional storms, presents specific challenges for roofs. Common Roof repair issues include leaks from damaged or missing slates/tiles, flashing failures around chimneys (especially prevalent in older terraced houses), and moss growth due to damp conditions. Flat roofs in areas like Mahon or Ballincollig can be prone to pooling water if not regularly maintained.
For most routine Roof repair work, such as fixing leaks or replacing damaged tiles, you typically do not need planning permission in Ireland. However, if you plan major alterations, like changing the roof's structure or converting a flat roof to a pitched one, planning permission may be required. Roof repair professionals on Onlinetradesmen.ie can advise on compliance.
