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 roofing challenges and requirements.
At Doherty Roofing, we provide professional roofing services to homeowners and property owners across County Tipperary. Based in Limerick — on the county's western border — we are ideally positioned to serve North Tipperary and the areas closest to the Limerick boundary quickly and reliably, while also covering the wider county including Thurles, Roscrea, Borrisokane and Templemore.
Whether you need an urgent repair following storm damage, a full roof replacement, chimney work, guttering or professional roof cleaning, Jim and his team will travel to your Tipperary property and deliver the honest, quality workmanship that has built Doherty Roofing's reputation across the Midwest.
We are fully insured and Safe Pass certified, and we provide free, no-obligation quotes on all roofing work across County Tipperary. There are no call-out fees and no pressure to proceed.
Doherty Roofing carries out the full range of roofing services for homeowners and property owners across County Tipperary:
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 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.
Borrisokane — a North Tipperary market town serving a wide rural catchment across the Lough Derg hinterland.
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.
Templemore — a North Tipperary town with significant older housing stock and rural catchment.
Cloughjordan — a small North Tipperary town close to the Limerick border and well within our regular working area.
Portroe & the Lough Derg Shore — a string of communities along the Tipperary shore of Lough Derg with specific moisture exposure considerations.
Borrisoleigh — a rural North Tipperary community with a wide agricultural hinterland.
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.

Doherty Roofing's natural base of operations in Limerick means we are particularly well placed to serve North Tipperary quickly and reliably. The North Tipperary towns closest to the Limerick border — Nenagh, Borrisokane, Portroe, Ballina, Killaloe bridge area and the communities along the Lough Derg shoreline — are all within easy reach of our Limerick base and well within our regular working area.
Nenagh is the county town of North Tipperary and the largest population centre in the northern part of the county. It has a diverse mix of older town centre properties, established suburban housing estates and newer residential developments. Many of Nenagh's housing estates were built from the 1970s onwards and their concrete tile roofs are now at an age where maintenance, repair and in some cases full replacement are increasingly necessary.
The Lough Derg Shoreline
The communities along the Tipperary shore of Lough Derg — including Portroe, Ballina, Dromineer and Terryglass — present a specific roofing context that deserves particular attention. Properties in close proximity to the lake shore face elevated moisture exposure from the water and, on exposed positions overlooking the lake, significant wind pressure that accelerates the deterioration of ridge mortar, flashings and roof coverings. Older properties along the Lough Derg shore frequently have natural slate roofs that require specialist knowledge and carefully matched materials when repair work is carried out.
Borrisokane & North Tipperary Rural
The rural communities of North Tipperary — Borrisokane, Cloughjordan, Terryglass, Puckane and the many smaller townlands throughout the area — contain a wide variety of older and newer rural properties. Traditional farmhouses with natural slate roofs, older bungalows with concrete tile coverings and agricultural outbuildings across the Golden Vale all present regular roofing requirements that Doherty Roofing is well placed to serve from our Limerick base.
