Send this for a real priceHow this is worked out
No sums of ours: each line is a figure an Irish roofing firm or price guide publishes for that job, read on 3 November 2026 (HP Roofing's on 1 November 2026), with the VAT status as the source gives it. Where a source gives a figure for outside Dublin, Cork and Galway, that is the one shown, because Waterford is outside all three. It's a guide, never a quote. The roofer prices your roof after seeing it.
Where they are
Flat roofs in Waterford
Kitchen extensions, garages, porches, bays and dormers. Most are felt, many on their second or third covering. Newer ones are EPDM rubber, one sheet with no seams on most house roofs, or GRP fibreglass, which is hard enough to walk on.

Repair or replace
Which one you need
- Repair: one leak, a split seam or a lifted flashing, on a roof that's firm underfoot.
- Replace: soft or springy spots, leaks in several places, felt cracked all over, or water that sits for days.
Water travels along a flat roof's deck before it drips, so the stain inside is often not under the fault.

FAQ
Questions people ask

€500 to €3,000 by Recommended Roofing's indicative 2026 range.
How much is a new flat roof on an extension?
€2,800 to €7,500 for EPDM on an extension or garage, 2 to 5 days (Recommended Roofing).
Can a flat roof be done in winter?
EPDM and felt can go down between showers. GRP needs dry, mild weather to cure, so a GRP job may wait.
Is EPDM better than felt?
It costs more and lasts longer, and it's laid without a flame. Felt costs least.
