Barrow Valley Roofing LTD

If I'm being straightforward about it, the reason I'd point anyone towards Valley Roofing comes down to one thing — Pat and his crew actually do what they say they'll do, and they do it properly. We had the guttering sorted earlier in the year, and while I won't go into every detail, there was a section at the back of the house that had been a problem for longer than I'd like to admit. It needed more than a patch job, and that's exactly what they gave it. No shortcuts, no vague assurances, just the work done correctly. What I appreciated most, from a practical standpoint, is that Pat was easy to communicate with from the start — clear on timing, clear on what was involved, and he didn't try to overcomplicate things or upsell anything unnecessary. The lads who came out were tidy, got on with it, and left the place as they found it. I've recommended Valley Roofing to a neighbour since, and I'd do it again without hesitation. There are contractors who are perfectly fine on the day and then difficult to get back if something needs attention — that hasn't been my experience here. They're a company you can actually rely on, and in this county that counts for a lot.

So happy with how Pat handled every single question before the job even started!! Literally rang him twice with queries and he was so patient and clear each time — dont always get that!! Would absolutely recommend Barrow Valley Roofing to anyone!!

Fast response, good value as well.

We'd been meaning to get this done for years, if I'm honest. The house itself is a solid enough place, a semi-detached out near Callan that we've had for the best part of two decades, and the gutters at the back had been giving grief since at least 2019 — pulling away slightly from the fascia on one side, blocked solid on the other, and making an unholy racket every time there was heavy rain coming off the extension roof. We'd had two lads look at it over the years and neither of them followed through, so when my neighbour mentioned he'd used Barrow Valley Roofing and that Pat had sorted his ridge tiles no bother, I gave them a ring. Paddy came out, had a proper look at it, didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need, and told me straight what wanted doing. The lads who came to do the work were tidy about it, which I appreciated — no mess left behind, no standing about, just got on with it. The gutters are sitting flush now, draining exactly as they should, and the whole rear of the house looks a good bit neater than it did before, which my wife pointed out almost immediately. Would absolutely use them again and have already mentioned Pat's name to a cousin of mine who's got a farmhouse outside Thomastown that needs attention.

Got a quote from Pat in early September, he came out to the house within a few days of me ringing, had a look at the verge along the front and side of the roof, and gave me a written price there and then, which I thought was fair enough, certainly compared to a lad I had out a few years back for different work who quoted one thing and billed another, but that's a different story, I won't get into that, the point is Valley roofing were straightforward about the cost from the start, no messing, I knew what I was paying. They had me booked in for about three weeks after that, which suited me fine, gave me time to sort a few things on my end. The lads arrived on the day they said they would, which I'll be honest is not always the case with tradesmen in my experience, two of them up on the roof by half nine or thereabouts, they worked away through the day, had the old verge tiles off and the new ones bedded and pointed by late afternoon, tidy job, cleaned up after themselves before they left, no materials left lying around the garden or on the driveway, which the wife appreciated more than I probably did. That was that, done in the one day, no follow up issues.

Obsessed with how this turned out!! 🏠 Pat and the lads put a brand new slate roof on our place last month and honestly it looks so clean — like the house got a whole new identity. The slates are perfectly even, the ridgeline is so sharp, and from the road it genuinely looks stunning. They worked away quietly for two days, left the site spotless each evening, and the whole thing was done before I even had time to stress about it. My neighbour literally stopped me on the road to ask who did it! The quality is just there — you can see it. Would 100% recommend Barrow Valley Roofing to anyone thinking about it, espcially if you want something that actually looks the part and not just functional. Run, don't walk!! 🙌

What I wish to draw particular attention to is the manner in which Patrick conducted himself throughout this job. I have dealt with various tradespeople over the years and I hold punctuality in rather high regard. Pat arrived at the time stated, without the customary fifteen-minute drift one tends to accept as standard in this country. He subsequently rang to confirm the work was completed and that materials had been cleared from the site. My one observation would be that a written summary of the work carried out would have been a welcome addition. I would, nonetheless, recommend Barrow valley roofing without hesitation.

Had three people quote it before I went with Pat, and I dont regret that decision one bit. My son kept saying get it done properly or dont bother, and he was right. Valley Roofing are the sort of company you feel easy handing your house over to. Straightforward, tidy, no drama. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone around the county looking for reliable roofing work.

Had Pat's lads out after water was coming in through the attic every time we got a decent downpour. They tracked it back to a section of flashing that a previous crowd had bodged years ago — not something I would have spotted myself. Sorted it cleanly without making a bigger job of it than it needed to be. No drama, no upselling. Would use them again without hesitation.

New slate roof on a 1970s semi. Sits perfectly. Clean finish, good ridge work, tidy site. Barrow valley roofing were in and out without fuss.

Having had previous bad experiences with tradespeople who quoted one price and invoiced another entirely, I'll admit I was bracing myself for the same with barrow valley roofing — but Pat's responsiveness throughout the entire process is genuinely what I want to highlight here, because it warrants a review on its own merit. From the first enquiry, every message I sent was answered promptly and clearly; there was no chasing, no ambiguity, and when I had follow-up questions about the specification of materials being used, he came back with detail rather than deflection. I had done some comparison with other contractors in the region and the difference in communication alone was notable. Would absolutely recommend on that basis.

spotted some rotten timber underneath when they stripped it back. pat flagged it, sorted it same day, no fuss. fair price for the whole lot.

Dreaded this for months honestly. Getting a whole new slate roof felt like the kind of job that could go sideways in a hundred different ways. Pat put me at ease from the very first call, no nonsense, no pressure. Barrow valley roofing are who Id point anyone towards without hesitation — the finish on the roof is lovely and the whole crew were sound throughout. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

This is the third time we've used Barrow Valley Roofing and Pat's crew's punctuality honestly stands out every single time. They arrived exactly when they said they would, no messing. As ever, not a minute wasted.

As someone managing the house on my own, I never felt pressured — Pat's lads did the valleys neatly and I trusted them completely.

If I'm being honest, the reason I'd point anyone towards Barrow valley roofing before I even get into the job itself is the way Pat runs the whole operation. From the first WhatsApp message I sent him in early March to the last afternoon his lads packed up their van on a Thursday around half four, the communication was just consistently solid — replies came back quickly, nothing was left hanging. The chimney itself looks exactly as it should, clean and well finished, and the whole thing was done inside the time he'd outlined at the start. There wasn't a bit of mess left behind them, which I appreciated more than I probably let on at the time. I've used a few contractors over the years around Cork and Waterford and the difference with a proper family-run outfit like this is that someone actually cares how it turns out. I'd go back to them without a second thought.

Thanks for fix that valey today

We pat and the lads re do our roof and we are really happy with outcome prompt professional service thanks again lads

Professional workers. ,well done for slate roof ,clean tide lads

Lads came and fitted new pvc soffit and facia excellent work and team discused the job down to detail highly recommend

We had pat and the lads out to install a new roof on our difficult property endless to say completed to satisfaction great bunch

Dreaded ringing anyone about the skylight — genuinely put it off for weeks. Pat just put me at ease straight away on the phone, no drama, no messing. Would absolutely recommend barrow valley roofing to anyone.

The one thing I will say about Valley Roofing is the clean-up afterwards — they left the site in decent shape, no mess left behind for me to sort out. New gutters and fascia boards went up without a bother and everything looks well. Only reason I am not giving five stars is that a couple of the old brackets were left piled against the side wall rather than taken away. Minor enough, but worth mentioning.

Great job for my pvc ,thanks for quick work and responsibility

Punctual. Tidy finish. Pat quoted fair and delivered exactly that.

Honestly, Pat's responsiveness alone deserves five stars. Rang on a Tuesday morning, he was back to me within the hour. 🙌 Would absolutely recommend Barrow Valley Roofing. ✨

I recently had my roof repaired, and I’m very satisfied with the results. The work was done professionally, neatly, and on time. The team quickly identified all the problem areas, offered the best solutions, and clearly explained which materials would be used. After the repair, the roof looks like new — no leaks, everything is sealed and solid. I also appreciate their politeness, punctuality, and professional attitude. Highly recommended!

Pat and his lads had the shed roof done and dusted in a day — tidy, no fuss, exactly what you want.

I don't usually bother with these things but here goes. Got a quote from Pat in early September — reasonable, no fuss. They came out about ten days later as agreed. Two lads up on the roof, done in a half day. Repointing and some flashing replaced from what I could see. Took a bit longer than I expected to get the initial call back, but fair enough, they were busy. Solid job done.

Patrick called out promptly to give advice on replacing the roof on our shed. Very happy with advice received. No hesitation in recommending.

did a good job. fair price.

Barrow Valley Roofing are great service staff are all very polite and they get the job done in and out very tidy 5 stars all-day long and above all that they stand over there work with a warranty I would highly recommend them

During the rain yesterday, i noticed a leak coming into one of our bedrooms from the attic. Called the guys and they were with me in like 20 minutes. They got up in the rain and fixed the problem right away. Very impressed with both the response and the way they done the work.

They were great to deal with. We had a large project with a tight deadline on our new house, the team got it done on budget, watertight and ahead of schedule. Highly recommend Barrow Valley Roofing.

A neighbour of mine used a lad from Waterford last year for a similar job and spent the guts of three months chasing him to come back and fix a leak. I went with Pat from Barrow Valley Roofing on the back of another recommendation locally, and the difference was noticeable from the start. Quoted 680 euro, paid 680 euro. The crew came when they said they would, replaced the shed roof in a day, and cleared up after themselves without being asked. No snags, no follow-up calls needed. For a straightforward job, that is exactly what you want. Would recommend them without hesitation, with the one caveat that you book ahead as they seem fairly busy.

Very quick turn around, hassle free repair after the recent storms. 10/10

Pat's lads were up on the roof of this house before I had my second cup of tea. A young fella called Seán was very mannerly and explained what needed doing without making me feel foolish. The slates are sitting neatly now and I no longer worry about the spare room where my grandchildren sleep when they visit. I would have liked a bit more notice on the morning they arrived, but the work itself is solid. Would recommend them without hesitation.

We had some damage after a recent storm. We contacted the guys from Barrow Valley Roofing and they were out asap at a time that was convenient for us. The lads were super friendly and the work was top notch. I'd 100% recommend these guys to anyone looking for great work at a fair price.

Used barrow valley roofing on one of my units outside Callan. Rang Pat on a Tuesday, had a quote by Thursday, crew on site the following Monday. The repair itself took the better part of a day — flashing sorted, a section of slating redone. Work was solid and the site was left clean. Only thing I'd note is communication mid-job could be a bit sharper, but the finished result is sound. Would use them again on the portfolio.

Got three quotes before going with barrow valley roofing — they weren't the cheapest but the quote came back fastest and I could actually track the job properly via WhatsApp updates rather than chasing someone by phone. When they stripped back a section near the chimney stack, they spotted that a previous repair had been done with the wrong flashing material and had basically been failing slowly for years. Pat flagged it, explained it clearly, and sorted it without turning it into a big upsell. The roof has been solid through two heavy spells of rain since. Would absolutely use them again.

Really happy with the work Barrow Valley Roofing did for us. They assessed a leak for us and had their team fixing it the next morning. They did a brilliant job and the finished product looks great and has given us peace of mind around the leak. Highly recommend them for any roof work needs.

Got a new flat roof and a new slate roof done to my terrace house. Job was completed in a couple of days, on time, with no fuss and they left everything clean and tidy afterwards.

Pat's lads did the shed roof here last month and its as neat a job as you'd ever see, fairly priced too. Would recommend Barrow valley roofing without hesitation.

Having had previous bad experiences with contractors who patch rather than properly repair, I did a fair bit of research before contacting anyone this time around. Valley Roofing came up consistently in local recommendations, and I can see why. The guttering on the side return of our house had been pulling away and pooling water badly; it now sits flush, drains cleanly, and there isnt a drip to be found even after the recent heavy spells. Pat was straightforward in how he communicated throughout, and the work itself is tidy — properly sealed joins, the brackets reset correctly. On balance, exactly the standard I was looking for.

Very happy with Barrow Valley Roofing, professional firm with an efficient team who were very helpful and did a great job.

I had a leak on my roof and contacted barrow valley roofing for a quote. They came out to view it quickly and sent a quote back that was fair. The team carried out the repairs and did a great job and left the place spotless. Would recommend to friends and family

Turned up as promised. Did job efficiently. Polite team. Reasonable price.

The gutters had been pulling away from the fascia on the front of the house for a couple of years — not dramatic, but getting worse. When Pat's lads came out, they spotted that the original fascia boards had started to rot behind where the old brackets were fixed, which wasn't something I'd known about. They flagged it before pulling everything off, gave me a clear explanation of what needed to happen, and sorted it without a fuss. The finished result looks clean and sits properly. My one gripe is that communication around scheduling could be a bit tighter — I had to follow up once or twice to confirm timing. Work itself was solid and I'd use barrow valley roofing again without hesitation.

Such a weight off my shoulders — the gutters at my mother's house were in an awful state and Valley Roofing sorted everthing quickly and without any fuss. Cannot thank them enough.

Honestly Barrow Valley Roofing are the ones I'd go to first if anything came up again — Pat and the lads just get it done properly and the roof looks so cohesive now, exactly the vision I had in my head. The only thing I'd say is communication around timing could've been a touch tighter but the quality of the work itself? Stunning. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in the county.

Very happy with the service I received from Barrow Valley Roofing replacing a slate roof and flat roof. Good communication about planned dates and timelines. They came and completed the job when they said they would and the finished roof looks great.

We had a couple of bad leaks and they were able to come out immediately to fix them. Showed us photos of where the problems were and what had been done to repair it, its been a few weeks and several showers later and no issues at all. Very glad to have these guys to call for any future repairs

Such nice people honestly. Paddy and his lads did our flat roof and I wouldnt hesitate to send any neighbour or friend their way. Theres something about having a family business come to your home you just feel safe with them around and they tidied up after themselves which means a lot when youre not able for the mess yourself. The roof looks well and weve had no bother since. Valley roofing are the kind of crowd you hold onto and pass on to others. I will absolutely be ringing them again if anything comes up.

My neighbour used a different crowd last summer and honestly the result was not it - mismatched colours, sloppy finish, and they were back twice to fix leaks. Valley Roofing came in and the difference was night and day! The new gutters and fascia completely transformed the front of the house - clean lines, everything flush and exactly the vision I had in my head. Already took about a hundred photos!

Very happy with the service from Barrow Valley Roofing. The repairs on my roof were completed efficiently with photos afterwards to show the before and after work so i could see what was done.

Running two rental properties takes up more of my time than I'd like, so when a contractor does what they say they'll do — shows up on time, does the work properly, sends a clear invoice — I take note and I pass the name on. Barrow valley roofing have earned that from me twice over now. Pat and his lads replaced missing tiles on both properties within a fortnight of me making contact, no chasing required. The pricing was fair and straightforward, no vague extras appearing on the bill afterwards. That matters when you're managing overheads across multiple sites. What I'd say to anyone running a business or managing property is this: find tradespeople who treat it like a buisness themselves, not a favour. That's exactly how Barrow valley roofing operate. I have already referred them to two other landlords in the area and I'll be going back to them without hesitation when the next job comes up.

I called Barrow Valley Roofing after our previous roofer let us down. They called out to have a look straight away and confidently explained the issue and how the repair would be accomplished. They also provided a guarantee for their work. Although they were priced on the high side, they did a wonderful job and were such a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend Barrow Valley Roofing.

I don't usually bother leaving reviews but Pat and his lads did a solid job on our flat roof and i'd recommend them without hesitation. They're the kind of crowd you'd use again — tidy workers, reliable, and the finish has held up well. Only thing i'd say is the start date shifted by a few days, which wasn't ideal with the weather we had. Fair enough though, they got it done.

Having spent a few years in construction myself, I tend to look at a finished roofing job differently than most. Pat's lads stripped back the affected section, re-felted properly, and relaid the slates with the correct head lap — nothing bodged, nothing hidden. The lead flashing at the chimney junction is dressed cleanly. No shortcuts taken where it matters. Dry inside since, which is the only test that counts.

The gutters on my mother's house are flowing perfectly now — not a drip or a blockage in sight since Pat and the lads were out. Such a relief, honestly. I would absolutely recommend Barrow Valley Roofing to anyone.

Contacted Barrow Valley Roofing in early March after noticing a few slipped tiles on the rear slope. Pat came out within three days to look at it, quote was back to me by end of that week — reasonable price, no attempt to upsell anything. Scheduled for the following Tuesday, two lads arrived on time, job was done by early afternoon. The only thing I'd note is communication mid-job wasnt great — I had to chase to confirm they'd finished. However, overall the work itself looks solid and the price was fair. Would use them again.

So so happy with how the roof looks now!! Pat and the lads from Barrow valley roofing replaced a load of missing tiles and honestly it looks absolutely class — you wouldnt even know there was ever anything wrong with it!! Literally obsessed with how neat and tidy everything is. Would 100% recommend!!

Honestly, if you're looking for someone reliable in the Waterford area, Pat and the lads at Barrow Valley are the ones to call. Pricing was fair and upfront, no messing. Between work calls and school runs I had zero time to be chasing contractors, but I never had to. They just got on with it. Would go back to them without a second thought.

We chose Barrow Valley Roofing over a couple of other outfits we had quotes from, largely on the strength of what neighbours in the area had said about Pat's work. In fairness, the reputation proved well-founded. The repair itself — storm damage to a section of the rear slope, some displaced tiles and flashing that had lifted — was handled with a tidiness I'd argue you don't always see from tradesmen who are simply moving between jobs at pace. The slates sit properly now, the flashing is flush, and there's no sense that anything was bodged to get it watertight quickly. Paddy came out himself to look at it beforehand, which I appreciated; it wasnt just a quote sent by someone who hadn't set foot on the roof. Clean finish, no mess left behind. I'd use Barrow Valley Roofing again without any hesitation and would recommend them readily to anyone in the county.

When a contractor comes recommended by two separate neighbours in this part of Tipperary, I consider that sufficient grounds to make the call. Barrow Valley Roofing attended promptly, assessed the guttering thoroughly, and carried out the work to a standard I would regard as professional. I have reasonably exacting expectations in such matters, and they were met. Furthermore, I would have no hesitation in engaging Pat and his crew again for future work on the property. The one minor point I would note is that the confirmed start time slipped by a day without great notice, which, while not critical, is the sort of thing I prefer to be informed of in advance. That aside, the quality of the work itself was sound.

Honestly just relieved it's sorted. Had a few ridge tiles loose and kept putting it off — you know yourself. Got Pat out to have a look and that was basically it. No back and forth, no upselling, no drama. Showed up when he said he would, did the work, left the place tidy. Roof looks right again. What more do you want from it. The kind of job where you realise how much quieter your head is when it's off the to-do list. Would use Barrow Valley again without a second thought, and I'd point any neighbour their way.
