Tipperary is Ireland's largest inland county — a vast, diverse landscape that stretches from the Shannon River and Lough Derg in the north to the Knockmealdown Mountains in the south, and from the Golden Vale farmland in the west to the Slieveardagh Hills in the east. It is a county of genuine contrasts: busy market towns, scattered rural communities, large farming estates, and a wide variety of property types that present a broad range of domestic and agricultural roofing requirements.
At Doherty Roofing, we provide professional, long-lasting roofing services to homeowners, farmers, and property owners across County Tipperary. Based in Ballykeeffe, Limerick — directly on the county's western border — we are ideally positioned to serve North Tipperary and the communities closest to the Limerick boundary quickly and reliably, while also covering the wider county including Thurles, Roscrea, Borrisokane, Templemore, and Tipperary Town.
Whether you need urgent repairs following severe weather, a full roof replacement, chimney repointing, gutter replacement, or flat roof membrane installation, Jim Doherty and his trusted team deliver straightforward, honest workmanship on every project. When you call Doherty Roofing, you deal directly with Jim — no sales reps, no call centers, and no unannounced subcontractors.
We are fully insured with public liability cover, Safe Pass certified, and verified members of the National Guild of Master Craftsmen. We provide free, written, no-obligation quotes across County Tipperary with zero call-out fees.
Doherty Roofing carries out the full range of roofing services for homeowners and property owners across County Tipperary:
Blocked, cracked, or sagging gutters allow rainwater to run down exterior masonry and weaken building foundations. We repair, realign, and unblock seamless uPVC, cast iron, and aluminum guttering systems across Tipperary.
Deteriorating chimney stacks are a primary entry point for water ingress. We carry out repointing, lead apron replacement, chimney capping, and full stack rebuilds to restore weatherproofing against heavy wind and rain.
From minor seal failures to cracked glazing and flashing leaks, we provide permanent repairs on Velux and Fakro roof windows and skylights to prevent ceiling water damage and leaks into your property.
When an old roof reaches the end of its serviceable life, we manage complete tear-offs and replacements using breathable underlay membranes and quality slates or tiles suited to the Irish climate.
Flat extension roofs, garages, and commercial roofs are vulnerable to ponding water. We install and patch high-performance torch-on felt, EPDM rubber, and fiberglass GRP systems.
We source matching natural slates and concrete interlocking tiles to execute seamless patches that preserve the visual integrity of traditional farmhouses and historic Tipperary town properties
When unexpected severe weather displaces tiles or causes sudden indoor leaks, Doherty Roofing prioritizes emergency call-outs across North and Mid Tipperary to make structures watertight.
Replacing rotten timber fascia boards with low-maintenance, heavy-duty uPVC fascia and soffit systems that securely support rain guttering.
Supplying and fitting corrugated metal, zinc, and standing seam steel roofs for residential garages, commercial units, and agricultural structures across County Tipperary.
Doherty Roofing carries out roofing work across all of County Tipperary. The main towns and areas we serve include:
Nenagh — county town of North Tipperary, our primary Tipperary base of operations given our Limerick location.
Newport — Located right on the Limerick border at the foot of the Slieve Felim mountains, Newport is one of our fastest response areas.
Roscrea — a historic midlands town on the Tipperary-Offaly border, with a mix of older period properties and newer residential development.
Thurles — the home of the GAA and one of Tipperary's largest towns, with extensive residential and commercial roofing requirements.
Clonmel — Serving Tipperary's largest urban center with complete residential and commercial roofing solutions.
Carrick-on-Suir — Situated in the Suir Valley along the Tipperary-Waterford border, serving historic riverfront townhouses, valley gutters, and established residential family developments.

We cover all of County Tipperary from our base in Limerick. For North Tipperary — Nenagh, Borrisokane, Cloughjordan, Roscrea and Templemore — we can respond quickly given our proximity to the Limerick-Tipperary border. For Mid Tipperary — Thurles, Borrisoleigh, Templemore — travel times are moderate. For South Tipperary — Clonmel, Cahir, Tipperary Town — we will always be honest about travel time and availability when you call.

For North Tipperary — Nenagh and the surrounding area — we can typically respond quickly from our Limerick base.

Doherty Roofing's location on the Limerick border makes North Tipperary a core operating zone. The towns and villages closest to the boundary line — including Nenagh, Borrisokane, Portroe, Ballina, and the Lough Derg shoreline — receive fast, dependable trade service.
Lough Derg Shoreline Exposure Properties located in Portroe, Ballina, Dromineer, and Terryglass face heightened environmental exposure. Westerly winds rolling off Lough Derg create sustained wind-driven rain that accelerates mortar degradation along ridge tiles and lead flashings. For lakeside properties, we install mechanical dry-ridge mortarless systems and heavy-duty flashing to ensure long-term durability.
Established Residential Estates In larger centers like Nenagh, Roscrea, and Thurles, suburban housing built during the late 20th century heavily features concrete interlocking tiles. As these roofs cross the 30-to-40-year threshold, problems such as perished underlay felt, cracked ridge mortar, and sagging PVC gutters become widespread. Targeted maintenance and repointing restore structural integrity without requiring full structural overhauls.
Doherty Roofing is a fully insured, family-run roofing company based in Limerick. Led by Jim Doherty, we provide expert roof repairs, new roof installations, flat roofs, guttering and more across Limerick, Clare and Tipperary. Call us today for a free, no-obligation quote.
