Dublin homes, every era
Dublin's housing stock spans almost every era of Irish building — Georgian terraces in the city centre, red-brick suburbs from the 1900s, 1930s–50s semis, 1960s–80s estates, and modern infill. Each one has a roof that fails in its own particular way, and a residential roofer who treats them all the same ends up over-pricing the easy jobs and under-quoting the hard ones.
A Georgian terrace roof sits behind a parapet wall on a shallow pitch, so the gutter is usually hidden and the first sign of trouble is a stain on an upstairs ceiling, not water visibly pouring off an edge. A 1960s–80s semi has a straightforward pitched roof, but if it was built in the same few years as the rest of the estate, the covering is often reaching the end of its 40–60 year working life at the same time as every neighbour's — which is why repair call-outs on some roads come in clusters. A modern extension or infill build is more likely to have a flat roof, where the usual cause of a leak isn't the membrane at all but the falls underneath it being slightly wrong.
We survey before we quote, every time — which era your roof is doesn't decide the price, what's actually wrong with it does.
Drone footage where access is tight, full attic check for hidden damp, photographs throughout.
A fixed price broken into materials, labour, scaffolding and timeline.
Repair where a repair will hold — we're not looking for a re-roof you don't need.
Full clean-up at the end of every working day, not just the last one.
10-year written workmanship guarantee, signed and handed over.

Questions, answered
Three call-outs in two winters usually means the covering has reached the end of its life rather than the last repair having failed. A free survey settles it honestly — if a repair will hold, we'll say so.
Yes — Georgian and Victorian roofs need their own approach (lead valley work, matching slate, parapet gutters), and we survey these differently from a modern estate roof.
A standard semi-detached re-roof usually runs 3–5 working days depending on the covering and weather; we give you a real timeline as part of the written quote, not a generic estimate.
