Professional Roof Repairs in Clontarf

Clontarf is a 20–25 minute drive from our yard in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, via the M50 and Coolock. We load the van with code 4/5 lead, A4 stainless fixings, hand-cut natural slate and ridge tile before we leave, so a same-day make-safe is realistic after a storm and follow-up planned work happens on a single planned visit rather than three trips back to the yard.

The Edwardian terraces along Clontarf Road, St Lawrence Road and Castle Avenue typically have multi-flue chimney stacks with corbelled brickwork and several flashing returns. After 100+ years on the seafront, the original lead is perished at the upstand and the mortar bed is decarbonated. We re-lead the full apron and back-gutter in code 4/5, repoint in lime-based mortar, and re-flaunch the pots — not patch with mastic.

Yes — the 1930s and 50s red-brick semis along Vernon Avenue and Mount Prospect were laid with original cement-tile ridges that are now 70–90 years old and at the end of their life. We re-bed full ridge runs with a waterproof-additive mortar mix, replace cracked verge tiles, and re-fix the front pitch in A4 stainless where the original galvanised nails have rusted through from sea air.

Yes — pockets of the Clontarf Road seafront and St Lawrence Road have heritage value, and like-for-like materials matter to keep the streetscape consistent. We quote in writing with the slate type, lead code and mortar mix specified so the work matches the original spec and you've got the documentation if a planner ever asks.

Yes. The 1960s estates around Hollybrook, Seafield and the Killester border were laid in concrete tile rather than natural slate, and the main failure point is ridge re-bedding and dry-verge upgrades rather than slate repairs. We handle both — the seafront heritage work and the inland concrete-tile maintenance — and the quote spells out which spec is going where.
