At Pat O’Leary Copper and Sheet Metal Roofing, we specialise in the design, fabrication, and installation of high-quality copper roofing systems for residential and commercial projects. With decades of experience and a reputation for precision craftsmanship, we proudly serve clients across Cork, the wider Munster region, and throughout Ireland.
Whether you’re restoring a heritage property, finishing a modern build, or looking to invest in a durable, beautiful roofing solution, copper offers unmatched performance and visual impact.
Copper is incredibly long-lasting and resilient. A well-installed copper roof can last 50 years or more, withstanding Ireland’s harshest weather conditions, including wind, rain, and coastal salt air. Unlike other roofing materials, copper won’t rust, and it naturally forms a protective patina over time.
Despite its strength, copper is lightweight and flexible, making it easier to install and less taxing on the structure of your building. This allows for greater design versatility, especially for curved or custom rooflines.
Few materials match the elegance of copper. Whether polished to a brilliant shine or aged to a distinguished green patina, copper adds character and architectural prestige. It’s a favourite among architects and builders for high-end residential and period restoration projects.
Copper reflects sunlight, which can help regulate indoor temperatures and reduce the need for excessive heating or cooling. Over time, this can contribute to noticeable energy savings, especially in well-insulated homes.
Copper is a natural, non-toxic material that can be 100% recycled without loss of quality. It doesn’t leach harmful chemicals into the environment, making it a safe and sustainable choice for eco-conscious projects.
Every copper roof we install is custom-fabricated to meet the exact dimensions and architectural requirements of your property. We work closely with clients, architects, and contractors to ensure seamless integration with the building’s design.
Our skilled tradesmen are trained in traditional and modern copper roofing techniques, from standing seam to batten roll systems. We bring decades of hands-on experience and meticulous attention to detail to every project.
From modern homes to listed buildings and protected structures, we’re trusted across Cork and Munster for our respectful approach to historical architecture and conservation standards.
We manage everything from site preparation to final inspection, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free experience from start to finish. Our team is committed to delivering projects on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.
