Local roofs

The roofs we see in Rathmines.

The houses on Leinster Road, Grosvenor Square, Belgrave Square and Castlewood Avenue are Victorian, two or three storeys over basement. The roofs are steep Welsh slate with valleys between houses and tall brick chimney stacks carrying several pots, and some fronts hide a lead gutter behind a parapet. Many houses in Rathmines are divided into flats, so one roof serves several households. Smaller terraces and artisan cottages off the main roads have simple slate roofs of their own.

Parapet and box guttersThe lead gutter behind the front parapet blocks, overflows and rots the timber under it, out of sight from the street.
Valleys between terraced roofsEach valley carries two roofs' worth of water, and old lead cracks and splits with age.
Tall Victorian chimneysMulti-pot stacks on the party wall, soft lime mortar, and flashing patched with tar for decades.
Nail sicknessThe iron nails under the original slate rust through, so sound slates slide out one by one.
Return extensionsThe two-storey return at the back has a flat or low-pitch roof that leaks where it meets the main house.
