Stay safe first: never go up on the roof or a ladder in wet or windy weather. Move belongings away from the leak, catch drips with buckets and keep clear of any light fittings or sockets near the water. Then call us on 087 239 0125 and we'll schedule your leak as a priority.

We cover all of Dublin city and county, including north County Dublin towns such as Rush, Lusk, Donabate, Skerries and Balbriggan, with no call-out charge anywhere in County Dublin. We also cover parts of Wicklow and Kildare. See all the areas we cover.

It depends on the problem, the materials needed and how easy the roof is to reach. Replacing a slipped slate costs far less than repairing a large area of rotten timber. We always give you a free, itemised quote after inspecting the roof, so you know the price before any work starts.

For a standard semi-detached or terraced house in Dublin, it usually takes 3 to 5 days, depending on the weather and the roof. We make sure your home is watertight at the end of every working day.

Usually not, if the roof is replaced like-for-like (similar materials, same height and shape). If your home is a protected structure, or you're changing the roof's appearance significantly, permission may be needed. Check with your local council if you're unsure.

We install torch-on bitumen felt and EPDM rubber. We don't install fibreglass (GRP), because it's very rigid and can crack as buildings expand and contract. We'll recommend the right system for your roof and budget after an inspection.

Yes. We arrange skips and remove all the old materials and debris from your property for responsible disposal.

Permanent repairs need dry conditions. In an emergency we can often fit temporary waterproofing, such as heavy-duty tarpaulins, to keep the water out until the weather allows a permanent repair.

Yes. We can provide detailed quotes and reports for your insurer. Most home insurance policies cover sudden storm damage but not gradual wear and tear, so take photos of the damage straight away and contact your insurer promptly.

Yes. We replace rotten timber fascias and soffits with maintenance-free uPVC, stripping out the old timber rather than covering over it, and we fit new uPVC or aluminium guttering. We also clean gutters as a job on its own.

Yes, on a small scale. As well as homes, we repair and replace flat and pitched roofs on small commercial buildings across Dublin. Tell us about the building and we'll let you know if it's a job for us.

Yes. If you refer a friend or neighbour, we'll send you €25 cash once their job is completed and paid for.
