Roofers Dublin — 24/7 Emergency Repairs, 25-Year Guarantee

Dublin roofs take a hammering most of the year — driving rain off the Irish Sea, wind that finds every loose slate on a terrace roof, and just enough sun in between to make you forget it's coming back. That's the reality Dublin homeowners are up against, and it's why so many roofs in this city fail years before they should — not because the roof was badly built, but because nobody caught the small thing before it became the big thing.

Mr Roofing has spent 20 years fixing exactly what that weather breaks. Slipped slates that let go after the fixing nail corrodes. Flat roofs that fail because the fall was never right in the first place. Chimneys that leak from the flashing rather than the chimney itself, sending damp patches to bedroom ceilings that look like they've nothing to do with the roof at all.

We've seen the same handful of problems on thousands of Dublin roofs, across every era of housing the city has — Victorian terraces in Rathmines, 1930s semis in Drumcondra, new-build extensions with flat roofs that were never given the right fall to begin with.

Every emergency callout is answered 24/7, not just office hours, because a storm doesn't check what day it is before it takes a slate off your roof. And every job we complete, whether it's a full re-roof or a single repair, carries a 25-year written guarantee. Not 12 months. Not 5 years. Twenty-five — because we're confident enough in the work to stand behind it that long, and because you shouldn't have to think about your roof again for a generation.

From a single slipped slate to a full re-roof, our crew handles it — fully insured, free quote before anything's touched, and every job backed by our 25-year guarantee.

A slipped slate or small leak never stays small — Dublin's weather sees to that. We repair missing slates, cracked flashing, ridge repointing, and storm damage across the city, diagnosing the real problem before we touch anything. Free quote, honest price, no surprises added once work starts. Every repair we carry out is backed by our 25-year written guarantee.

Blocked, cracked, or sagging gutters send water down your walls instead of away from them. A few Dublin winters of that does real damage to brick, render, and foundations. We repair and realign guttering of all types across the city — clearing blockages, resealing joints, replacing damaged sections. Free quote, same 25-year guarantee on every job.

Crumbling mortar, failed leadwork, and cracked chimney pots aren't just cosmetic — they're usually the real reason a roof leaks. We carry out repointing, flashing repairs, pot replacement, and full stack rebuilds across Dublin. It's the flashing that fails first, not the chimney itself, and it's easy to miss. We catch it before it becomes a bigger job.

Extension, ageing roof past its best, or a new build starting from scratch — we install new roofs across Dublin to a standard backed by our 25-year guarantee. We work in concrete and clay tile, natural slate, and reconstituted slate. We'll tell you honestly which option suits your property and budget, not which one we'd rather sell you.

Rotten fascia and damaged soffits let damp into your roof structure and give pests a way in. It's easy to ignore until it isn't. We strip out old timber and fit uPVC fascia and soffits that need no painting and no ongoing maintenance. A tidier finish, a drier roofline, and one less thing to think about.

Flat roofs fail for one reason more than any other — the fall wasn't right, so water sits instead of draining away. We install and repair flat roof systems across Dublin, including EPDM rubber, GRP fibreglass, and torch-on felt. We correct the fall as part of the job, not just relay the same fault. Same 25-year guarantee applies.

A blocked gutter doesn't wait for a storm to cause damage — it overflows on an ordinary wet day and pushes water back against your walls. We clear leaves, moss, and debris from gutters across Dublin and leave the system flowing properly. We inspect for damage while we're up there, so a small problem gets caught early, not after it's already cost you.

A leaking skylight is one of the most common — and most misdiagnosed — leaks in a Dublin home. Usually it's not the glass, it's the seal or flashing around the frame that's failed. We repair and replace Velux and other roof windows across the city, resealing, refitting, or swapping units where the seal's beyond saving. Free quote, same 25-year guarantee.

Dublin's older housing stock runs on slate, and slate itself rarely fails — it's the fixing nail underneath that corrodes after decades of exposure. We repair and re-fix slipped or cracked slates across the city, matching natural and reconstituted slate to period roofs. Catch it early and it's a simple job. Every repair backed by our 25-year guarantee.

Every roof's different, so exact pricing needs an inspection — but here's what actually drives the number.

Minor repairs — a handful of slipped or cracked slates, a small flashing fix — are usually the most affordable job, often done in a single visit. Access matters more than materials here: a low, easy roof costs less than a steep pitch needing scaffolding.

Mid-range repairs — localised flat roof sections, chimney repointing, larger flashing replacement — depend on access and how far the underlying damage goes. What looks like a small job from the ground can grow once we're up there, and we'll always tell you that honestly before starting, not after.

Full re-roofs or flat roof replacements come down to roof size and material — natural slate costs more than reconstituted slate or a felt/membrane flat roof system — plus any timber replacement if the deck's taken on damage over the years.

Free quote, itemised price after inspection, nothing added once we've started.

Nine times out of ten, it's not the big dramatic thing you're picturing.

Slipped slates come loose because the nail holding them has rusted through after decades up there — the slate's usually grand, it's the fixing that's failed. Catch it early and it's a quick re-fix. Leave it a winter and water's found its way into the timber, and now it's a bigger job.

Flat roofs fail because of "fall" — the slight slope that's supposed to send rainwater to the outlet instead of letting it sit. A flat roof laid without the right fall will start failing years before it should, no matter how good the felt or fibreglass is. When we replace one, we fix the fall, not just relay the same mistake.

Chimney leaks are almost never the chimney. It's the flashing — the lead seal where the chimney meets the slates — and flashing wears out faster than the roof around it. Water gets in there, tracks down inside the chimney breast, and shows up as a damp patch on a bedroom ceiling that looks like it has nothing to do with the roof at all.

Overflowing gutters do more damage than people think. Water spilling over the edge runs straight down your wall instead of away from the house, and a few winters of that works into brick, render, and eventually the foundations. A gutter that's been "grand for years" is usually the reason the wall behind it isn't.
