A ceiling stain has appeared and you want to know what fixing it will cost. Or you need a written account of the roof's condition before making a property decision. Both can start with a roof inspection enquiry in Dublin, but they need different bookings.
Our free repair visit is a visual assessment of accessible roof areas and a repair quote, with no obligation to proceed. A formal inspection report is a separate paid service, with guide pricing from €175. Further investigation is also separate: agree its scope and any charge before it begins.
Choosing the right service gives you something useful at the end: a proposed repair and price, or a documented condition assessment. Tell us which you need when you enquire, so the visit is planned around your decision.
Find Out Which Roof Visit You Need
Tell us about the problem and whether you need a repair quote or a formal report. Our free repair offer covers a visual assessment of accessible roof areas and a repair quote, with no obligation.
Clear Scope • Repair Quote • No Obligation
What Is Included in the Free Repair Assessment?
The free visit helps us assess a repair enquiry and explain the proposed work and price. It suits a homeowner who has noticed a roofing problem and wants to understand the next repair step and price.
You might have a slipped slate, a leaking junction or a gutter that overflows during rain. Share what you have seen, where it happens and any photographs taken safely. We visually assess the accessible roof areas and provide a repair quote, with no obligation to accept it.
Your repair quote may be communicated verbally, by phone, email, WhatsApp or message. It is not a formal condition report. If you need documented findings for an insurer or another roofer, request the paid report service before booking.
A visual assessment has limits. The condition beneath tiles, behind a lining or inside an inaccessible roof space may need further investigation. The free visit does not include a comprehensive diagnostic survey, diagnostic testing or a formal photographic report. If more investigation is needed, ask what it involves and agree any charge before proceeding.
That distinction protects your budget as well as your expectations. You can start a repair enquiry without commissioning a formal report, while keeping a separate decision about any additional investigation.
For the repair itself, our Dublin roof-repair service explains the types of work we undertake. The repair quote should make clear what is being repaired, what is included and how any additional work would be agreed.
When Is a Paid Roof Inspection Report More Useful?
A formal report is useful when the written findings are part of the reason for booking. You may need a record of condition, photographs and priorities to help plan work or discuss the roof with another professional.
Our comprehensive inspection service has guide pricing from €175. It includes external and internal roof inspection, a detailed written report with photographs, priority repair recommendations and a long-term maintenance schedule. Access and the agreed scope still matter: discuss what can be inspected and how limitations will be recorded before booking.
A repair quote and a report serve different purposes. The quote describes proposed work and its price. A report records findings and recommendations. Having one does not automatically mean you have commissioned the other.
If the report is for a property purchase, an insurer or another recipient, send their requirements first. Ask whether the proposed roof report meets those requirements before paying for it. Do not assume that a contractor's roof report replaces a wider property survey, structural assessment or a particular certificate someone has requested.
Our roof inspection service is the route for discussing the report you need. Tell us its purpose and any deadline when making the enquiry; confirm availability rather than assuming a particular turnaround.
Which Booking Fits Your Question?
| Your question | Start here | Confirm first |
|---|---|---|
| What will this repair cost? | Free visual assessment and quote | Safe access and any extra checks |
| What condition is the roof in? | Paid formal report | Scope, photos and repair priorities |
| Will a buyer or insurer accept it? | Share their needs first | Report purpose and format |
| Why does the leak keep returning? | Describe it with your enquiry | Extra checks, scope and fee |
| Water is entering now | Emergency contact | Address and current visit options |
The name of the booking matters less than the agreed outcome. Before the visit, you should know whether you are requesting a repair price, commissioning a written report or authorising further investigation.
Why a Photograph Cannot Settle Every Repair Scope
Photographs help us understand an enquiry. They can show the location of a stain, the shape of a roof or a visibly displaced covering. They do not show every concealed layer or establish why water is entering.
A dry mark also does not explain whether the original problem has been repaired. Note when it first appeared and whether it changes during rain. If the main uncertainty is moisture on the inside of the home, our condensation versus roof-leak guide explains observations worth recording.
Take photographs from ground level or a safe indoor position. Do not climb onto the roof, remove tiles or enter an unsafe attic to make the enquiry more complete. Say when an area cannot be reached safely; that is useful information for planning access.
What Should You Ask Before Agreeing to Work?
Start with the question you want answered. “I need a price to fix this leak” is different from “I need a written roof condition report for someone else to review”. Then check the details:
- The deliverable: a repair quote, a formal report, or a separately agreed investigation.
- Access: which roof areas and internal spaces can be inspected, and what remains inaccessible.
- The price: what is free, what is chargeable and what the quoted charge includes.
- Repair authorisation: whether any repair is proposed, its scope and price, and when you would approve it.
- Further findings: how additional investigation or work will be explained and agreed.
You do not have to commit to repairs to receive our free visual repair assessment and repair quote. If you commission a formal report, ask for the report fee and scope separately from any later repair quotation. This makes it easier to compare like with like and plan the next step.
If the Roof Is Actively Leaking
Tell us at the start of the conversation if water is entering now. Keep clear of a bulging ceiling or water near electrical fittings, and use our emergency roof-repair contact route.
Emergency calls and messages are taken 24/7. For an active leak, a roofer usually visits the same day; typical emergency arrival is 1–2 hours. These are typical timings, not guarantees: confirm the visit for your address and current conditions. A visit also does not mean every permanent repair can be completed immediately.
