Usually a slipped slate, cracked chimney flashing, or a blocked valley — rarely directly under the hole.
What we do: find the entry point with drone footage and an attic check, then repair the cause, not the stain.

Leaks, slipped slates, storm damage
Most roof repairs in Dublin start the same way — a damp patch on a ceiling, a slate on the ground after a windy night, or water coming in around a chimney. The stain almost never sits directly under the actual hole, because water tracks along the underside of the roof before it finds a way through the ceiling below.

What we do: emergency tarpaulin and weatherproofing, then a full damage assessment with insurer-ready documentation.
