Here’s the thing about St. Luke’s – and look, we’ve been climbing around on these roofs for twenty years so we know – you’ve got this perfect storm of old housing stock (Victorian terraces, mostly, right?), zero protection from the weather rolling up from the Lee, and… okay, this sounds weird but hear me out… the way the streets are laid out? Wind just funnels through. Absolutely hammers your roof. We see tiles lifting on calm days that wouldn’t budge anywhere else in Cork. Plus – and this is the kicker – most of these properties still have original slate or the dodgy replacements someone stuck up there in the ’80s thinking “ah sure it’ll do.” Narrator voice: it did not do. The chimneys are another story entirely (period properties, am I right?), valleys that were never properly flashed because back then nobody cared, and gutters that are, let’s be honest, probably older than your grandparents. It’s brilliant housing. Solid bones. Just… the roofs need someone who actually understands what they’re dealing with. That’s us. Call 087 223 4228
and we’ll explain what your specific roof needs – no waffle, just the truth about what works in St. Luke’s and what’s a waste of your money.
