Corbally is one of Limerick's most distinctive and well-established residential areas — a northside suburb that stretches along the southern bank of the Shannon, from the edges of the city centre out through a mix of older terraced streets, long-established housing estates and more recently developed residential areas. It is a community with genuine character, a wide range of property types and — from a roofing perspective — one of the most varied and interesting areas we work in across the city.
Doherty Roofing provides professional roofing services to homeowners throughout Corbally and the surrounding northside area. Whether you need an urgent repair on an older terraced property, a full roof replacement on a 1970s or 1980s estate house, new guttering and fascia, or professional attention to a chimney that has been deteriorating quietly for years, Jim and his team will respond promptly, assess your roof honestly and carry out lasting work to the highest standard.
We are fully insured and Safe Pass certified, and we provide free, no-obligation quotes on all roofing work in Corbally. There are no call-out fees and no pressure to proceed.
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.

Corbally's housing stock is one of the most varied of any Limerick suburb — and that variety matters enormously when it comes to roofing. Unlike the predominantly 1980s and 1990s concrete tile estates of the southside, Corbally contains a significant number of older properties — terraced houses, older semi-detached homes and period properties that predate the large-scale suburban development that shaped much of Limerick's newer residential areas.
Older properties in Corbally are far more likely to feature natural slate roof coverings than the concrete tiles common across newer parts of the city. Natural slate is an outstanding roofing material that can last well over a hundred years — but it requires a roofer who genuinely understands how to work with it. Matching replacement slates correctly, identifying nail failure rather than assuming the slates themselves are at fault, and knowing when a slate roof can be repaired versus when it needs to be re-slated are all areas where genuine expertise makes a significant difference to the quality and longevity of the repair.
Corbally's location along the Shannon also creates specific roofing considerations that are entirely absent from most other parts of the city. The river corridor channels and amplifies wind, meaning properties along and close to the riverbank are exposed to stronger, more directional wind pressure than equivalent properties further from the water. This wind exposure accelerates the deterioration of mortar pointing on ridges and chimney stacks, stresses flashings and upstands, and is a significant factor in storm damage patterns across the area. At Doherty Roofing, we understand how Corbally's riverside setting influences the roofing demands of properties in the area — and we factor that understanding into every inspection and repair recommendation we make.
