Why 2026 Re-Roof Packages Beat Piecemeal Repairs

Patching is tempting. It feels cheaper today. But in Dublin, one winter can turn three small patches into a full redo anyway.

A package approach gives you one scope, one timeline, and one clear standard. That is the difference between fixing a roof and finishing a roof.

It also stops the drip-drip of surprise costs. With a full package, you know what is included, what is optional, and what is not needed.

What a 3-Bed Semi Re-Roof Package Includes (Line by Line)

This is the transparent breakdown you should see on every quote. If any of these are missing, ask why.

1. Strip and Deck Check

We remove the old coverings and inspect the timber deck before anything new goes on. That is how we catch hidden rot early.

2. Breathable Felt and Treated Battens

This is the waterproof layer your roof actually depends on. We use modern breathable felt and treated battens designed for Irish weather.

3. New Roof Covering

Your new slates or tiles go on with proper fixings and spacing. This is where many cheaper quotes cut corners, and it shows after the first storm.

4. Ridge System

We reset ridges to current standards, or you can upgrade to a dry ridge system for longer life. This is a key water entry point, so it cannot be rushed.

5. Leadwork and Flashings

We renew leadwork at chimneys, valleys, and abutments. This detail stops most Dublin leaks, especially in older semis.

6. Waste Removal and Final Clean

We protect your driveway, remove all waste, and leave the site tidy. A professional re-roof should end cleanly, not with a skip in your garden.

Upgrade Bundles for 2026 (Pick One or Stack Them)

These upgrades are designed to add protection and reduce maintenance. Choose one, or stack them if your budget allows.

Upgrade 1: Dry Ridge + Dry Verge Bundle

Best for wind exposure in areas like Ongar and Ashtown. You get a maintenance-free ridge and verge system that does not crack or crumble like mortar.

What is included: Dry ridge system, dry verge caps, storm-proof fixings.

Upgrade 2: Gutter Refresh Bundle

If your gutters overflow every heavy rain, this is the easiest win. It protects your walls and prevents water tracking back under the roof edge.

What is included: Gutter clean, alignment check, downpipe flow test, and minor fascia touch-ups. For larger issues, we can pair this with a full gutter, fascia, and soffit repair.

Upgrade 3: Insulation Top-Up Bundle

This is the quiet money-saver. Better insulation keeps upstairs rooms warmer and reduces heat loss through the roof.

What is included: Insulation top-up to current depth targets, airflow checks, and safe access clean-up.

7-10 Day Timeline: What Happens Each Week

A standard 3-bed semi re-roof in Dublin takes 7-10 working days. Weather shifts and access can stretch the schedule, but this is the typical flow.

Days 1-2: Setup and Strip

We scaffold, protect the site, strip the old roof, and inspect the deck. This is the messy part, and it is why the schedule starts strong.

Days 3-4: Felt and Battens

New breathable felt goes down, then treated battens. This locks in the water barrier early, so your home stays protected.

Days 5-7: Roof Covering

We install the new tiles or slates, line by line. This is the core build phase.

Days 8-9: Ridge and Leadwork

We finish the ridge and renew the leadwork around chimneys and valleys. This is where long-term leak prevention happens.

Day 10 (If Needed): Final Checks and Cleanup

We walk every slope, tidy the site, and run a final quality check. You get a clean finish and a clear handover.

How Much You Can Save vs Traditional Dublin Roofers

We do not publish exact prices, but we do track the quotes homeowners show us. For a typical 3-bed semi re-roof, our clients usually save 10-18% compared to larger Dublin roofing firms.
