How long does a full re-roof take?

A 3-bed semi-detached house typically takes 3-5 days with a crew of 2-3. This includes stripping, felting, battening, tiling, ridge work, and flashings. Weather can add 1-2 days.

Do roofers need qualifications in Ireland?

There's no mandatory licensing for roofers in Ireland (unlike electricians or gas fitters). However, CIF (Construction Industry Federation) membership, Safe Pass certification, and proof of insurance are strong indicators of a professional operator.

Should I get a flat roof or pitched roof extension?

Pitched roofs last longer (50+ years vs 20-25 for flat) and have fewer leaking problems. But flat roofs are cheaper and allow more internal height. For extensions, many homeowners choose flat for cost; for main roofs, pitched is always recommended.
