Roofers in Laois — If Your Roof Is Leaking, We'll Fix It Right
The Roofers in Laois Who Actually Answers the Phone
Here's what most people in Laois go through when they need a roofer. They search online, find a few names, ring two or three of them — and get voicemail. The one who does answer says he'll call back Thursday to arrange a look. Thursday comes and goes. By the following week they're back to square one, the leak is getting worse, and there's a damp patch spreading across the ceiling.
That's the gap Bone Dry Roofing exists to fill.
We answer. We come out. We tell you what's wrong and what it'll cost before we touch anything. Then we fix it — properly, with materials that will last, not a patch job that buys you another eighteen months before the same problem is back.
We cover the full county. Portlaoise, Portarlington, Mountmellick, Abbeyleix, Stradbally, Mountrath, Rathdowney — if you're in Laois and your roof needs work, we'll come to you. Call 085 733 1570 today and we'll arrange a free estimate at a time that suits you.
Our Roofing Services
From a slipped slate to a full re-roof, Bone Dry Roofing handles all roofing and guttering work across County Laois. Whatever the job, you get a fixed price upfront and guaranteed workmanship.
Roof Repairs
A leaking roof gets worse the longer it's left. We locate the source not just the symptom and fix it properly the first time. Slipped slates, cracked tiles, failed flashing, storm damage.
New Roof Installation
If repairs no longer make sense, we'll tell you honestly. We install new roofs in natural slate, concrete tile and composite — built for midlands weather and guaranteed in writing.
Flat & Felt Roofing
Most flat roof problems come down to poor installation. We repair and replace flat roofs on garages and extensions using felt, EPDM rubber and fibreglass — materials that actually last.
Gutters, Fascia & Soffits
Blocked gutters and rotten fascias both let water where it doesn't belong. We clean, repair and replace guttering systems and fit new uPVC fascias and soffits across Laois.
Chimney Repairs
The chimney stack is one of the most exposed points on any Irish roof and one of the most common sources of hard-to-trace leaks. We repoint, reflash and rebuild — no temporary silicone fixes.
Roof Inspections
Roof over fifteen years old? We carry out full inspections across County Laois and give you a written report on what we find — useful before buying a property or after storm damage.
Why Laois Homeowners Call Bone Dry Roofing
There are a lot of roofers operating in Laois. Some are excellent. Some will take a deposit and disappear. Some will do a rush job that looks fine from the ground and falls apart eighteen months later when the guarantee is conveniently forgotten.
Here's what we do differently.
We give you a fixed written price before we start — not an estimate that somehow grows once we're on the roof. We use materials suited to the job and the property, not whatever is cheapest to source that week. We clean up after ourselves. We answer the phone when you ring.
And if something isn't right after we've finished, we come back and sort it — because our reputation in Laois depends on it.
We're fully insured on every job. If you want to see proof of insurance before we start, ask and we'll show you.

Why We Started Bone Dry Roofing!
Bone Dry Roofing was set up because there was a gap in Laois for a roofing contractor who does what they say they're going to do.
No vanishing after the deposit. No repair that holds for a year and fails the next winter. No sending out a labourer when the customer was expecting the roofer they spoke to.
We're a local business. We live and work in Laois, which means our reputation here matters to us in a way it doesn't to a company travelling from outside the county to pick up work.
Every job we do is a reference — good or bad — for the next one. That's why we only take on work we're confident we can do properly, we give honest assessments even when it's not what people want to hear, and we stand over everything we do.
If you've had a bad experience with a roofer before, we understand the hesitation. Call us anyway, let us come out and show you the difference.
What Makes Bone Dry Roofing Different
Roofing Questions We Get Asked in Laois
There's no honest answer to that without seeing the roof first. A minor repair — a few slipped slates, a small flashing issue — might be €150 to €300. A more involved job, a section of ridge tiles, a flat roof that needs replacing, could be €600 to €2,000 or more. What we can tell you is that you'll have a fixed written price before we start and it won't change. Call 085 733 1570 and we'll come out and give you a proper figure.
For standard repair work we're typically out within a few days. If you've an active leak coming through the ceiling or storm damage that needs urgent attention, call us directly on 085 733 1570 and we'll do our best to get to you the same day or next day.
Yes. Full public liability insurance on every job. Ask to see it before we start if you want — we'll have no problem showing you.
Probably not, but the longer a leak is left the more damage works its way into the roof structure, insulation and ceiling below. The sooner it's looked at the better. Ring us and we'll come out and tell you honestly what you're dealing with.
Yes. A lot of the older housing stock in Laois — particularly in towns like Abbeyleix, Stradbally and the rural areas — has natural slate that needs careful handling to repair correctly. We match original slate where possible and don't just swap in concrete tiles because it's quicker.
All workmanship is guaranteed in writing. The length of the guarantee depends on the type of job — a full re-roof carries a longer guarantee than a small repair. We'll confirm this in your written quote before we start.
