When your roof starts leaking or suffers sudden damage, you need a roofer who knows what to look for and how to put things right. At FG Construction Cork, we help homeowners and businesses deal with urgent roofing problems, from storm damage and missing tiles to serious leaks that put your property at risk.
We understand that roof damage rarely happens at a convenient time. Water can quickly find its way into ceilings, walls and loft spaces, causing damage that becomes more expensive to repair the longer it’s left. Our approach is straightforward: assess the problem, explain what’s needed and carry out the right repairs to protect your property.
Whether you’re dealing with a sudden leak, damaged flat roofing or loose tiles after strong winds, our experienced team is here to help. We provide honest advice, quality workmanship and practical solutions when you need them most.

Fast, Reliable Emergency Roof Repairs in Cork
Roofing emergencies can take many forms. A slipped tile might allow rainwater into your loft, while damaged flashing around a chimney can lead to persistent leaks. Flat roofs can also develop splits, lifted edges or damaged seams that allow water to enter the building.
Whatever the problem, finding the cause is just as important as fixing the visible damage. Simply covering a leak without identifying where the water is getting in can leave you facing the same issue again.
At FG Construction Cork, we look for the source of the problem and recommend repairs that address the damage properly. Where immediate permanent repairs aren’t possible, temporary measures may be needed to help protect your property until the full work can be completed.
We aim to make the process as clear and stress-free as possible, keeping you informed about the condition of your roof and the work required.
What Types of Roofing Emergencies Do We Handle?
Our emergency roof repair service covers a range of problems affecting residential and commercial properties across Cork.
Emergency Roof Leak Repairs
A leaking roof needs attention before water has the chance to cause further damage. Leaks can develop around damaged tiles, roof valleys, flashing, skylights and other vulnerable areas.
We investigate where the water is entering and identify the repairs needed to restore the roof’s protection. If you notice damp patches on your ceiling, water dripping into a room or unexplained moisture in your loft, it’s worth getting the roof checked as soon as possible.
Storm Damage and Missing Roof Tiles
Strong winds and heavy rainfall can loosen roof tiles, damage ridge tiles and expose areas that should remain protected from the weather. Even a small section of missing tiles can leave the roof underneath vulnerable to water penetration.
We assess the affected area and determine what needs to be repaired or replaced. If your roof has been damaged during a storm, avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Our team can advise on the safest next steps.
Emergency Flat Roof Repairs
Flat roofs can develop leaks when the waterproof covering becomes damaged, seams separate or flashing begins to fail. Water may also collect in low spots, putting additional pressure on vulnerable areas.
We inspect the affected section, identify the likely cause and recommend suitable repairs for the existing roofing system. Acting early can help prevent water from reaching the roof structure, insulation and interior of your property.
Chimney and Roof Flashing Repairs
Damaged flashing around chimneys, walls and roof junctions is a common source of water ingress. Cracked mortar, loose leadwork and deteriorating seals can allow rainwater to work its way beneath the roof covering.
We check these vulnerable points and identify the work required to restore a weather-resistant seal. Where necessary, repairs may involve replacing damaged flashing, addressing defective mortar or chimney repairing the surrounding roof covering.
Emergency Gutter and Roofline Repairs
Blocked, loose or damaged gutters can cause water to overflow onto walls and fascias. In some cases, damaged joints or downpipes can also allow water to collect around the property and contribute to damp problems.
We assess the guttering and roofline to determine whether the issue is caused by a blockage, damaged fitting, loose section or another fault. Where repairs are needed, we’ll explain the work required to help keep rainwater flowing away from your property.
What Should You Do If Your Roof Starts Leaking?
If water starts coming through your ceiling, it’s natural to want the problem fixed immediately. Taking a few sensible steps can help reduce the risk of further damage while you arrange professional assistance.
- Protect your belongings. Move furniture, electrical equipment and valuables away from the affected area where it’s safe to do so.
- Contain the water.Use a bucket or suitable container to catch dripping water if you can do so safely.
- Stay clear of electrical hazards. If water is near lights, sockets or electrical equipment, avoid touching affected fittings and seek appropriate professional help.
- Avoid climbing onto the roof. Wet tiles, strong winds and damaged roof structures can make access extremely dangerous.
- Contact a roofer. Explain what has happened, when the problem started and whether the damage followed heavy rain or strong winds.
The sooner the problem is assessed, the easier it may be to limit further damage. If you can safely take photographs from inside the property or from ground level, these may also help explain the issue.

How Much Do Emergency Roof Repairs Cost in Cork?
The cost of emergency roof repairs depends on the type of damage, the size of the affected area, the materials required and how accessible the roof is.
A small repair to replace a few slipped tiles may cost considerably less than repairing a leaking flat roof or dealing with widespread storm damage. The need for temporary protection, specialist access equipment or additional structural repairs can also affect the final price.
The best way to understand the cost is to have the damage assessed. We’ll explain the recommended work and provide a quote so you can understand what’s involved before deciding how to proceed.
If water is actively entering your property, don’t wait for the damage to spread before seeking advice. Early attention can help prevent a manageable roofing problem from becoming a much larger repair.
