Roof Problems We Fix Daily Across Phibsborough

Phibsborough's unique position in Dublin means your roofs face specific weather challenges. We've been fixing roofs across your area for years and understand exactly what Phibsborough properties need.

Here are the most common roofing issues we're called out to fix in Phibsborough:

Emergency Roof Leaks: Whether it's failed flashing around your chimney, cracked tiles, or worn seals around roof penetrations - leaks are what most Phibsborough homeowners ring us about first.
Storm-Damaged Tiles: Irish winter storms love to lift tiles off Phibsborough roofs! Missing, cracked, or slipped tiles leave your roof vulnerable and need sorting quickly.
Blocked or Damaged Gutters: Phibsborough's tree coverage means gutters get blocked with leaves and debris, leading to overflow and potential roof damage if not addressed quickly.
Chimney Problems: Old mortar, cracked chimney pots, or failed flashing around chimneys - these cause some of the worst leaks we see in Phibsborough homes.
Loose Ridge Tiles: The ridge tiles along your roof's peak take the worst of the weather and often work loose, creating entry points for wind and rain.

We are a fully insured roofing company, with public liability cover in place for residential and commercial roofing work across Dublin.

Parapet Gutter Specialists
Parapet gutters behind the front facade are the #1 leak source on Phibsborough's larger Victorian terraces — the lead lining splits at 80-100 years and the timber sole boards rot. We strip, replace the timber, and re-line in proper code 5 lead with full upstand detailing. Patches don't hold; full re-line does.
Multi-Flue Victorian Chimney Re-leading
Phibsborough's terrace chimneys are tall, multi-flue, corbelled brickwork with multiple flashing returns. We re-point in hydraulic lime, re-flaunch the head, and re-lead apron and back-gutter in code 4/5 — as a single job, not face-by-face patching that fails again in three winters.
Rear-Return Flat-Roof Work
The converted apartments above shops along Phibsborough Road and the North Circular have rear-return flat roofs now well past their original felt life. We strip to deck, replace soft boards, and re-lay in EPDM or GRP with proper upstands — not bitumen patches that lift again next winter.

Inner-City Access & Scaffolding Plans
Phibsborough's tight terrace streets need proper access planning — scaffolding licences, neighbour notification, and skip placement that doesn't block the road. We handle all of it in the quote so the job starts cleanly and finishes without disputes.
Established 2017, 5-Star Google Rated
Established 2017 with 650+ Dublin roofs serviced since — including Phibsborough and the adjacent inner-north neighbourhoods — and 5-star Google rated. Fully insured, with a 10-year workmanship guarantee on every job.
Written Quote With ACA Notes Where Applicable
Every Phibsborough quote lists materials by grade — slate type, lead code, lime mortar mix, parapet lining detail — and flags ACA considerations explicitly where the property falls under conservation designation. Fixed price, no day-of additions without written approval.

Common Questions About Phibsborough Roof Repairs

Often it's actually the parapet gutter behind the front facade — that's the #1 leak source on Phibsborough's larger Victorian terraces. The lead lining splits at 80-100 years, water tracks back into the wall plate, and it shows as damp on the inside of the front wall. The chimney can also be a factor — these stacks are tall, multi-flue, corbelled brickwork that needs full re-pointing and re-leading after a century. We inspect both before quoting and tell you which is actually the source.

Four patterns, the same as Rathmines. Tall multi-flue Victorian chimneys needing full re-pointing in lime mortar and re-leading in code 4/5 (the corbelled brickwork takes time). Parapet gutter failures behind the front facade — the lead lining splits and the timber sole boards rot. Rear-return flat-roof leaks on the converted apartments above shops along Phibsborough Road and the North Circular. And lead apron failures on bay windows where the apron meets the brick.

Yes. Sections of Phibsborough fall under Architectural Conservation Area designations (similar to Rathmines), and that drives material choice — natural Bangor or Welsh slate (not concrete imitation), code 4/5 lead (not mastic), hydraulic-lime mortar (not modern cement) on chimney re-pointing, and matched ridge tiles. We flag any ACA considerations in writing before starting so the finish matches what's already on the street.
