A practical approach to roof repairs
Common faults include slipped or cracked tiles, failed flashing, worn valleys, damaged ridge details, small flat-roof defects and problems around chimneys or extensions. We inspect the surrounding area as well as the obvious symptom, because water can travel along membranes and timbers before showing on a ceiling or wall.
Dublin has a mix of older pitched roofs, flat-roof extensions and newer housing, so there is no single “typical” leak. Chimney junctions, valleys and exposed roof edges are common places to check after heavy wind and rain.
