Adare is one of Ireland's most celebrated villages — a designated heritage town of genuine architectural beauty, home to some of the most distinctive and carefully maintained properties in the entire county. From the iconic thatched cottages along the main street to the period homes, farmhouses and newer residential properties that make up the broader Adare area, this is a village where the quality of workmanship matters enormously — and where choosing the right roofing contractor is more important than almost anywhere else in County Limerick.
At Doherty Roofing, we provide professional roofing services to homeowners across Adare and the surrounding area. Whether you own a period property that requires careful, sympathetic repair work, a newer residential home in one of Adare's more recently developed areas, or a rural farmhouse in the townlands surrounding the village, Jim and his team will carry out the work to the highest standard — with the respect for quality and detail that Adare's built environment demands.
We are fully insured and Safe Pass certified, and we provide free, no-obligation quotes on all roofing work in Adare. There are no call-out fees and no pressure to proceed.

For most standard roofing repairs and like-for-like replacements on ordinary residential properties in Adare, planning permission is not required under standard exempted development provisions. However, if your property is a protected structure, is located within Adare's Architectural Conservation Area, or if the proposed work would significantly alter the external appearance of the building, planning permission or conservation officer consent may be required. Jim will advise you on the relevant considerations for your specific property as part of the free consultation. When in doubt, it is always advisable to check with Limerick City and County Council's planning department before committing to any significant roofing alteration.

Adare is not a typical County Limerick village when it comes to roofing — and any roofing contractor who treats it as one is not giving your property the consideration it deserves.
As a designated heritage town, Adare contains a significant concentration of protected structures and properties within an Architectural Conservation Area. The iconic thatched cottages along Main Street are the most visible expression of the village's heritage, but the protected and conservation-listed built environment extends well beyond them — to period churches, historic estate walls, older residential properties and a range of buildings that carry real planning and conservation restrictions on how external alterations, including roofing work, can be carried out.
For homeowners in Adare considering roofing work, this means that certain types of repair, replacement or alteration may require planning permission or conservation officer input — even where similar work on an equivalent property elsewhere in County Limerick would be entirely exempt. Limerick City and County Council's conservation requirements for Adare are specific and must be understood before any roofing project on a protected or conservation-area property begins.
At Doherty Roofing, we understand the conservation context of Adare and the planning considerations that apply to roofing work in the area. Jim will advise you on the relevant considerations for your specific property as part of the free consultation — ensuring you have the information you need before any commitment is made.
