Roof Repairs Dublin | Free Roof Survey

By symptom

What you can see, and what it usually is.

Most people ring about something they can see from the street or the landing. Tell Jordan what you see and he will tell you what the free survey is likely to find.

A ceiling stain is rarely right under the fault. Water runs along the felt and the timbers before it drips, which is why the whole roof is surveyed, not just the spot above the stain.

A damp patch on a ceiling that grows after rainOften a cracked or slipped slate, a lifted flashing or a worn valley further up the slope.
Slates on the ground or in the gutterThe nails holding them have rusted through. More on the same slope are often loose too.
Water running down the chimney breastUsually the lead flashing where the stack meets the slates, or a cracked capping on top.
A dip or gaps along the ridgeThe mortar under the ridge tiles has gone. They are lifted and re-bedded, or replaced.
A leak where two slopes meetA worn lead valley. The slates either side come off, the valley is relined and the slates go back.
Daylight from inside the atticMissing slates or torn felt. Any rotten battens underneath are shown to you and priced first.
Felt hanging down under the eavesThe felt has perished at the edge, often found alongside fascia and gutter work.

Roof repairs

Common repairs.

Dublin roofs tend to fail in the same few places: the slates, the flashings, the ridge and the valleys.

Slipped and broken slates

Matched slate, fixed with hooks or nails, not glued, so the repair blends in with the rest of the roof.

Leaks and flashing

Chimney flashings, lead soakers and abutments are one of the most common places for a leak to start. Found on the survey and fixed in lead.

Questions

Roof repair questions.

What people ask before booking a repair. Anything else, ring Jordan.

How soon can you come out to a leak?

Ring the mobile, 087 645 9553, which is on 24 hours for emergencies. Jordan will tell you when a roofer can get to you and what to do in the meantime.

What does a roof repair cost?

It depends on what is broken, how much of the roof has to be lifted to reach it and whether access equipment is needed. Jordan writes the price down after the free survey, before any work starts, and if hidden damage such as rotten battens turns up, he shows you and prices it before going further.

Do I need a full re-roof or just a repair?

The survey answers that. If the slates and felt are sound, you are quoted for a repair. If the roof is at the end of its life, Jordan shows you why.

Can you match old slates?

Yes. Reclaimed and new natural slate is matched to what is on the roof so the repair does not stand out.

Is there a call-out charge?

No. The survey and the price are free, and there is no obligation.
