If you’re wondering how many new roofs were installed in Ireland in 2025, the most reliable answer comes from the Central Statistics Office (CSO). The CSO New Dwelling Completions Q4 2025 release reports 36,284 new dwelling completions in 2025, a 20.4% increase from 2024.

What These Numbers Mean for Roofing Demand

1) Roofing demand is rising fast

A 20.4% jump in completions signals a strong construction cycle. More new dwellings = more new roofs installed, more roof inspection demand, and more follow‑up maintenance work across the next 3–5 years.

2) Apartment roofing is growing faster than houses

Apartments made up one‑third of all completions and grew 38.7% year‑on‑year. That points to growing demand for flat roofing systems, membrane upgrades, and multi‑unit maintenance contracts.

3) Roofing activity is concentrated in urban Ireland

86.7% of completions were urban, so roofing demand is weighted toward cities, high‑density suburbs, and commuter belts. Contractors in these areas will likely see the highest volume of work.

Homeowner Takeaways

If you’re in a high‑growth area (e.g., Dublin or the Mid‑East), expect:

  • Increased demand for reputable roofers
  • Longer lead times in peak season
  • More competition for emergency response slots
