Storm Damage Repair Reviews

Real reviews from your neighbours

Castleknock

“Storm Barra tore 40+ slates off our roof. They came within 3 hours, secured the area with tarpaulins, then returned 2 days later with perfectly matching slates. Professional emergency response and quality permanent repairs.”

- Michael Brennan

Blanchardstown

“High winds damaged our chimney and scattered tiles across the garden. Team made it safe immediately, then completed permanent repairs within the week. Excellent communication and meticulous workmanship throughout.”

- Linda O'Reilly

Why Dublin Roofs Face Severe Storm Damage

Dublin sits exposed to Atlantic storm systems that regularly bring 60-90mph winds, torrential rain, and rapid pressure changes. Recent named storms - Ophelia (2017), Barra (2021), Eunice (2022), and Isha (2024) - caused millions in roofing damage across the Dublin area. Storm frequency is increasing: Met Éireann now issues red/orange warnings multiple times each winter.

Your roof is designed to handle typical Irish weather - steady rain, moderate winds. But storm conditions exceed design parameters: sustained 70mph winds create uplift forces that rip slates off, tear flashings away, and topple chimney stacks. One hour of storm-force winds can undo decades of maintenance.

Since 2017, Secure Top Roofing has responded to hundreds of storm damage emergencies across Dublin 15, Castleknock, and Blanchardstown. We've seen every type of storm damage - from single slates blown off Victorian terraces to entire flat roof membranes peeled back, fallen trees through roofs, and chimney stacks collapsed onto neighbouring properties.

Most Common Storm Damage We See in Dublin

  • Slates/tiles blown off: Wind lifts aged fixings, entire sections lost
  • Chimney damage: Stacks lean, topple, or lose bricks in high winds
  • Flashing failures: Lead pulled away from brickwork, immediate leaks
  • Valley failures: Debris accumulation causes overflow and structural damage
  • Fallen trees/branches: Penetrating damage requiring structural repairs
  • Flat roof damage: EPDM or felt torn, lifted, or punctured by flying debris

Our Emergency Storm Response Process

When you call Secure Top Roofing after storm damage, here's exactly what happens:

1

Immediate Phone Triage

We assess urgency over the phone. Life-threatening situations (major structural damage, exposed interior to weather) get priority response within 1-2 hours. Non-urgent storm damage gets 3-6 hour response during storm periods.

2

Emergency Weatherproofing

First priority is stopping further water damage. We install heavy-duty tarpaulins properly secured, board damaged areas, provide temporary flashing repairs, and ensure your property is weatherproof. This work typically takes 1-3 hours.

3

Comprehensive Damage Assessment

We photograph all damage from multiple angles, note all affected areas, identify the cause and extent, check for hidden damage with attic inspections, and provide a detailed written report with itemised quote for permanent repairs.

4

Permanent Repairs Scheduled

Once you approve our quote and we source matching materials (slates, tiles, lead), we schedule permanent repairs. Most storm damage repairs are completed within 5-10 days of initial emergency response, weather permitting.

Types of Storm Damage We Repair in Dublin

Slates & Tiles Blown Off by Wind

The Damage: High winds create uplift on roof coverings, especially where nail fixings have corroded over decades. Entire sections of slates or tiles can disappear in one storm, exposing felt and battens. Rain immediately penetrates, causing interior damage.

Our Emergency Response: Tarpaulin the exposed area immediately to prevent water ingress. Check remaining slates/tiles for security. Document extent of damage with photos and counts.

Permanent Repair: Source exact matching slates or tiles (critical for period properties). Replace damaged battens and felt underneath. Install new slates/tiles with stainless steel or copper fixings that won't corrode. Inspect and secure surrounding areas. Typical cost: €800-€2,500 depending on quantity.

Chimney Stack Damage & Collapse

The Damage: Tall exposed chimney stacks act as sails in storm winds. Deteriorated mortar offers no resistance - stacks lean dangerously, lose bricks, or collapse entirely. Falling bricks damage roofs and neighbouring properties.

Our Emergency Response: Immediate safety assessment and emergency scaffolding if stack is dangerous. Secure or carefully dismantle unstable sections. Protect exposed roof area. Notify neighbours if debris has fallen on adjoining property.

Permanent Repair: Rebuild damaged sections with matching bricks and appropriate mortar. Install proper DPC and lead capping. Replace damaged roof covering around chimney base. Install new flashings properly dressed into brickwork. Typical cost: €2,500-€6,000 depending on extent.

Lead Flashing Torn Away

The Damage: Wind gets under poorly-secured lead flashings and peels them back like tin foil. Once flashings fail, water pours down chimney breasts and valley boards with every rain shower. Interior damage escalates rapidly.

Our Emergency Response: Temporary flashing using heavy-duty waterproof membrane secured properly. This stops water ingress for 2-4 weeks while we source proper lead materials for permanent repair.

Permanent Repair: Complete flashing replacement with Code 5/6 lead. Rake mortar joints 25mm deep, dress lead properly, seal with weatherproof compound. Ensure 150mm+ overlap onto roof covering. Replace any damaged slates/tiles. Typical cost: €600-€1,500 depending on extent.

Fallen Trees & Branch Penetration

The Damage: Trees adjacent to Dublin properties become projectiles in 80mph+ winds. Falling trees or large branches punch through roofs, breaking rafters, tearing covering, and exposing interiors. Structural damage requires urgent attention.

Our Emergency Response: Coordinate with tree surgeons if tree still presents danger. Board the penetration area completely. Install tarpaulin coverage extending well beyond damage. Shore up compromised rafters if needed. Document structural damage extensively.

Permanent Repair: Assess and repair/replace damaged rafters and joinery. Replace broken battens and felt. Match and replace roof covering. Ensure structural integrity before closing up. May require structural engineer certification for severe damage. Typical cost: €3,000-€12,000+ depending on extent.

Flat Roof Membrane Damage

The Damage: Wind gets under flat roof edges and peels back EPDM or felt membranes. Debris punctures surfaces. Poorly-secured membranes lift, tear, or completely detach. Water then penetrates directly into extension or garage interiors.

Our Emergency Response: Secure lifted sections with temporary ballast or mechanical fixings. Patch punctures with repair tape. Install tarpaulin if membrane is extensively damaged. Prevent further wind uplift.

Permanent Repair: Re-secure or replace lifted sections. Patch small punctures with compatible materials. If damage is extensive (30%+ of roof area), complete re-covering may be more cost-effective than patching. Ensure proper edge detailing to prevent future uplift. Typical cost: €400-€3,000 depending on extent.
