Local considerations in Ireland

VAT at 13.5% applies to roofing in Ireland : state it clearly
The reduced 13.5% VAT rate applies to construction services in Ireland, including roofing. This is different from the 23% standard rate. Always state the VAT rate and amount separately on quotes and invoices. Revenue Commissioners audits are common in construction, and clear documentation protects you.
SEAI grants for insulation can be combined with roofing work
SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) offers grants for roof insulation as part of wider retrofit programmes. If a client is replacing their roof, a combined insulation upgrade may qualify for grant funding. Mentioning this when relevant adds genuine value and often accelerates the decision.
Cork and Kerry clients expect a site visit before any quote
In Cork, Kerry, and rural Munster, homeowners expect you to visit the property before quoting. Sending a price without seeing the job is seen as careless. Use the site visit confirmation prompt and the follow-up quote prompt the same day as your visit.
Public liability insurance is expected, not optional
Irish clients for any significant roofing job will ask about your public liability cover. Lead with it in your quote alongside your NFRC or other trade registration. It removes the insurance question before it is raised and is expected as standard on any job over a few thousand euro.
FAQ

Common Questions

Can these prompts help me mention SEAI grants in roofing quotes?

Yes. Add to your renovation quote prompt: 'Include a sentence advising the client that SEAI grants may be available for insulation combined with this roofing work.' Irish homeowners who learn about available grants from you, rather than a competitor, are significantly more likely to sign the quote.

How do I write social posts that generate local leads in Ireland?

Use the social post prompt with a specific location variable: 'completed in [area name], [county]'. A post referencing 'Ranelagh, Dublin' or 'Ballincollig, Cork' generates significantly more local enquiries than a post saying 'Ireland' or 'Dublin'. Specificity is the difference between reach and enquiries.

Should I mention RCT in my payment terms when using subbies on large roofing jobs?

Yes. Add a standing RCT clause to your subcontractor payment terms prompt. Revenue Commissioners require RCT deductions on construction subcontracts. Subcontractors who receive an unexpected deduction without prior written notice are the most common source of Irish roofing disputes.

How do I ask for Google reviews in a way that works for Irish customers?

Format the review request prompt as a WhatsApp message, not an email. Send it within 60 minutes of completing the job while the client can still see the result. Irish customers leave reviews at a much higher rate when asked this way compared to an email follow-up the next day.
