Your roof is the first line of defence between your home and the Irish weather. Whether you are dealing with a leak after heavy rain, missing slates following a storm, or simply an ageing roof that is overdue for replacement, you need a roofer you can trust to give you an honest assessment and a fair price.
At Doherty Roofing, that is exactly what we deliver. Jim Doherty founded this business on the belief that homeowners deserve a straightforward, reliable service — no jargon, no inflated quotes, no subcontractors showing up on your doorstep unannounced. When you call Doherty Roofing, you speak directly with Jim. When the work begins, Jim and his trusted team are the ones on your roof.
We have been serving homeowners across Limerick, Clare and Tipperary for several years, building a reputation based on quality workmanship, honest advice and a commitment to getting every job done properly. As a fully insured and Safe Pass certified company, we hold ourselves to the highest professional and safety standards on every site we work on.
We offer a comprehensive range of domestic roofing services to homeowners across Limerick and the surrounding counties. Whatever your roofing needs, Doherty Roofing has you covered.
Blocked, cracked or sagging gutters can lead to water damage on your walls, foundations and fascia boards. We repair and realign guttering systems of all types, clearing blockages, sealing joints and replacing damaged sections to ensure rainwater is directed safely away from your home.
A damaged or deteriorating chimney can allow water into your home and cause serious structural issues over time. We carry out all chimney repair work including repointing, flashing repairs, lead replacement and chimney stack rebuilds, restoring full weatherproofing to your roof.
From minor leaks to cracked or damaged glazing, we provide fast, reliable skylight repairs for all skylight types across Limerick, Clare and Tipperary. We carry out a permanent, lasting fix — whether it's a failed seal, a damaged frame or a cracked pane — not a temporary patch that fails at the next downpour.
When repair is no longer the right option, Doherty Roofing provides full roof replacements for domestic properties of all sizes. We manage the entire process from initial assessment to completion, using quality materials suited to the Irish climate and ensuring a clean, professional finish every time.
Flat roofs are particularly vulnerable to ponding water and membrane deterioration over time. We diagnose and repair all flat roof issues quickly and effectively, addressing leaks, blistering and joint failures with high-performance materials that restore full weatherproofing and extend the life of your roof.
Slate is one of the most durable roofing materials available, but individual slates can crack, slip or become dislodged over time. We source matching natural and fibre cement slates to carry out seamless repairs that blend with your existing roof and restore its integrity against the elements.
When a storm causes sudden damage or a leak develops without warning, you need a roofer who responds quickly. Doherty Roofing prioritises urgent calls from homeowners across Limerick, Clare and Tipperary, getting to your property as soon as possible to make it safe and weatherproof.
Fascia and soffit boards protect the edges of your roof from moisture and provide a clean, finished appearance. We supply and install quality uPVC fascia and soffit systems that are durable, low maintenance and built to withstand the year-round demands of the Irish weather.
Metal roofing is an increasingly popular choice for both new builds and replacement roofs, offering exceptional durability, longevity and weather resistance. We install and repair metal roofing systems for domestic properties, providing a modern, low-maintenance solution that performs reliably for decades.
Doherty Roofing is based in Limerick city but we travel throughout the region to serve homeowners wherever they are. Whether you are in a busy town or a rural townland, Jim and the team are available to carry out a free inspection and quote at your property.

This is one of the most common questions we receive. The honest answer is that it depends on the age and overall condition of your roof. If your roof is relatively new and the damage is localised, a repair is usually the right choice. If the roof is older and showing multiple areas of wear, a full replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. Jim will inspect your roof thoroughly and give you an honest recommendation — not just the option that costs more.
The cost of a roof repair varies depending on the extent of the damage, the type of roofing material involved and the accessibility of your roof. We provide free, no-obligation quotes for all work, so you will always know the cost before anything begins. There are no hidden charges.

Limerick's weather puts roofs to the test. Atlantic storms, heavy rainfall and strong westerly winds create real challenges for roofing systems of all types. Choosing a roofer with genuine local knowledge — someone who understands the conditions your roof faces year-round — makes a significant difference in the quality of the work and the materials specified.
At Doherty Roofing, we know Limerick's housing stock well. From the older properties in the city centre and established suburbs, to the newer builds out in the county, we understand the common roofing issues that affect homes in this area and how to address them effectively.
We also cover the surrounding counties. Whether you are in Ennis, Killaloe or Kilrush in Clare, Nenagh, Thurles or Roscrea in Tipperary, or anywhere across county Limerick from Newcastle West to Kilmallock, Doherty Roofing is available to carry out a free inspection and quote.
