Our Story — How Recommended Roofing Was Built

Recommended Roofing was established in March 2019 with a straightforward purpose: to provide Munster homeowners and businesses with a roofing contractor they could trust — one that arrived when promised, communicated honestly about costs and timelines, and stood fully behind its work. In the years since, that founding principle has shaped every decision we’ve made, from the materials we specify to the crew members we hire.

We began with a team focused on Cork city and its suburbs — Ballincollig, Douglas, Midleton, Montenotte and the Victorian terraces of Sunday’s Well. Within the first 18 months of trading, referrals from satisfied clients and institutional roofing contracts with Bank of Ireland brought us into Limerick, and from there into Kerry’s coastal towns and the Waterford market. Today in 2026, we operate with dedicated crews across all four counties, maintaining the same standard of workmanship whether we’re repairing a ridge tile in Dooradoyle or installing a full natural slate system on a protected structure in Killarney.

Our growth from a Cork-focused start-up to a four-county Munster operation was built on three things: verified credentials that give clients genuine assurance, premium materials from manufacturers like Tegral and Firestone that we specify on their merits rather than margin, and a 10-year written guarantee that puts real commitment behind every project we complete.

2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 - 2026

Founded in Cork

Recommended Roofing established in March 2019. Initial focus on residential roofing across Cork city and county — Douglas, Ballincollig, Midleton, Carrigaline and surrounding areas.

First Institutional Contracts

Secured roofing maintenance and repair contracts with Bank of Ireland for branch properties in Cork and Limerick — a milestone that established our commercial credentials and expanded our geographic footprint into Limerick city and county.

Kerry Expansion & CIRI Registration

Registered with the Construction Industry Register Ireland (CIRI), formalising our compliance with Irish industry standards. Began serving Kerry — Killarney, Tralee, Kenmare and the peninsula towns — as Atlantic coastal exposure requirements became a specialist area of expertise.

Clare County Council Contract

Awarded roofing contracts for Clare County Council public buildings, requiring compliance with public sector procurement standards, enhanced HSA safety protocols and auditable project documentation.

Full Munster Coverage — 2,000+ Projects

Extended operations into Waterford. Passed the 2,000-project milestone across Cork, Limerick, Kerry and Waterford, maintaining a 4.9-star Google rating across 200+ verified reviews throughout 2024, 2025 and into 2026.

Our Credentials & Compliance — Verifiable Proof of Professionalism

Every roofing contractor in Ireland claims to be professional. Recommended Roofing can prove it. Every credential listed below is independently verifiable — we encourage clients to check registration numbers, request insurance certificates and confirm CIRI status directly before appointing us.

Why this matters:An unregistered roofing contractor with no verifiable insurance cannot provide you with the Building Control documentation you need for mortgage drawdowns, property sales or insurance claims. Our full compliance suite means you’re protected at every stage — during the work, after completion, and when you come to sell.

Who We Work With — Heritage Clients & Authority Associations

Bank of Ireland

Ongoing roofing maintenance, repair and emergency response for Bank of Ireland branch properties across Cork and Limerick. Work includes slate repair, lead flashing replacement, flat roof maintenance and storm damage call-outs — completed to financial sector property management specifications with full insurance documentation and HSA-compliant site management throughout.

Clare County Council

Roofing services for council-owned public buildings under public sector procurement standards. Contracts require auditable project documentation, current Safety Statement compliance, Enhanced DBS-equivalent vetting, and completion certificates meeting Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014 requirements. Council contracts demand the highest level of contractor accountability and reporting.

2,000+ Residential Clients

Since 2019, over 2,000 homeowners across Cork, Limerick, Kerry and Waterford have trusted Recommended Roofing with their most valuable asset. Clients include period property owners in Montenotte and Sunday’s Well requiring conservation-appropriate natural slate, modern estate homeowners across Douglas, Dooradoyle and Castletroy, and coastal property owners near Kinsale, Crosshaven, Kenmare and Tralee Bay.

Tiled Conservatory Roof Replacement

Recommended Roofing works closely with local community organisations, schools, and childcare facilities across Cork and Limerick to ensure their buildings are safe, weathertight, and properly maintained year-round. From primary schools and creches to community halls and voluntary groups like Cappa Creche, we understand the importance of minimising disruption while delivering high-quality roofing solutions

Our Team & Certifications — The People Behind Every Roof

Every roof we deliver is only as good as the crew that builds it. Recommended Roofing employs experienced roofing tradespeople who have worked through Munster’s full range of architectural challenges — Victorian slate in Cork city, Atlantic coastal exposure in Kerry, Georgian heritage properties in Limerick’s historic quarter, and modern flat roofing across commercial Waterford. All crew members are directly employed (not subcontracted), hold current SOLAS Safe Pass certification, Manual Handling certification and Working at Heights training, and operate under a written site-specific Safety Statement on every project.

Our Supplier Partnerships — Why We Use Premium Materials

Tegral — Natural & Fibre Cement Slate

T2-S rated slates for severe exposure zones, including coastal Kerry, West Cork and exposed Waterford headlands. Tegral’s fibre cement range provides authentic slate aesthetics with enhanced resistance to frost, algae and Atlantic wind uplift. Specified at 25mm minimum headlap in severe exposure areas.

Marley — Concrete Roof Tiles

Marley Edgemere and Redland systems specified for modern residential properties across Cork and Limerick. Concrete tiles provide thermal mass, outstanding wind uplift resistance to 220 km/h when mechanically fixed, and a 30+ year guaranteed lifespan. We install with breathable underlay as standard — a requirement under Irish building regulations Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Energy).

Firestone — EPDM Flat Roofing

Firestone EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber membrane is our primary flat roofing specification for domestic extensions and commercial low-pitch applications. Single-ply installation eliminates seam failure risk, and Firestone’s 25-year manufacturer warranty is backed by an active UK and Irish supply chain. We are Firestone Approved Installers.

GRP Fibreglass Systems

Glass-reinforced polyester (GRP) flat roofing specified where a rigid, seamless deck is required — dormer extensions, balcony roofs, bay window tops and bespoke commercial applications. GRP provides exceptional resistance to thermal movement, pedestrian traffic loading, and standing water. Installed with 40mm mineral wool insulation to meet current Part L thermal standards.

Lead (Code 4 & Code 5)

Traditional milled lead sheet — Code 4 (1.80mm) for soakers, step flashings and valley liners; Code 5 (2.24mm) for chimney flashings and parapet capping — remains the benchmark flashing material for heritage and conservation properties. Lead’s natural patina, thermal expansion capacity and 60+ year lifespan make it the only appropriate specification for Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian properties in Cork and Limerick’s Architectural Conservation Areas.

Breathable Roofing Membrane

Installed under all pitched roof coverings as standard, our breathable underlay specification (minimum Sd value 0.02m) complies with Irish Agrément Board certification and Building Regulations Part F (Ventilation). High vapour permeability prevents condensation build-up in roof voids — a critical issue in older Cork and Limerick properties with inadequate ventilation detailing.

"I found these guys to be very efficient and fast in getting my new roof on my house. I had a wonderful group of men and Raimond was in charge and made sure everything was done correctly. They only took four days to finish it and cleaned up and washed marks they made on my wall. I was thoroughly satisfied with their work and I wish them well. I would certainly recommended roofing to anyone who was looking for roofing or repairs. They are a very professional company. Thank you so much for a wonderful job. Lots of people have praised the job." Margaret Bohan., Hilltop House Limerick Complete Roof Replacement "Storm damage left our roof badly damaged on a Friday evening. Recommended Roofing had someone out within hours, made it weatherproof, and completed permanent repairs the following week. Their help with the insurance claim was invaluable. Professional, responsive, and the pricing was very fair. Saved us from major interior damage." Tom K., Cork Emergency Storm Damage Repair "Needed a flat roof for our extension and wanted something that would last. Recommended Roofing installed a Firestone EPDM system with a 40-year warranty. The work was completed quickly with minimal mess, and they were respectful of our family throughout. Two years on and it's been completely leak-free. Excellent value and service."
