What Dublin Does To A Roof

Dublin is the driest part of the country, which quietly changes what goes wrong on a roof here. Weather is rarely the thing that finishes a Dublin roof; age is. Roofs last long enough to reach the point where the fixings have simply corroded away, and slates start slipping in ones and twos across a whole slope with no storm to blame.

Great stretches of the city are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, which brings its own set of problems: shared valleys between neighbours, hidden box and parapet gutters, and a chimney stack every few metres. Then there are the suburban estates, where the roofs are simpler but scaffold access over a narrow side passage often is not.

On a terrace, ask how the valley and the parapet gutter will be dealt with, because that is where the leaks usually start and it is the part a cheap quote leaves out. On an older roof, ask whether the slipping is isolated or across the slope, since that is the difference between a repair and a re-lay.

Contractors on the list here work out of Sandyford, Blanchardstown, Clontarf West, Stoneybatter, Kimmage and Saint Kevin's, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.

Dublin has the most roofers and the most competition for them, so the difference between quotes is often about when they can start rather than what they will charge. It is also the county where you are most likely to meet a door-to-door caller after a storm, which is worth ignoring.
