01 / Roofs in Ballyvolane

How roofs age in Ballyvolane.

Ballyvolane is a northern suburb of estates, mostly built between the 1960s and the 1990s, with a few older houses along the main roads. Most roofs here are concrete tile on a simple pitch.

Estate roofs of this age were laid to one design, so when one house has cracked ridge tiles, its neighbours are often in the same state. The felt under the tiles is now thirty to sixty years old, and extensions at the back often have flat roofs added later. Houses on higher ground meet more wind.

02 / Typical faults

Problems we meet most.

  • Cracked ridge and verge mortar along a whole row.
  • Brittle felt under sound-looking tiles.
  • Back-extension flat roofs that have given up.
  • Wind-lifted tiles on open ground.
03 / Where we would begin

We start at the ridge, the verge and the felt. If the tiles are good, a repair and a dry-fix ridge can add years.

We open every job with a free survey and put a fixed price in writing. Guide prices for 2026 are on our services page.

Do you answer emergency calls in Ballyvolane?

We aim to be there within 4 hrs, to stop the water coming in and to give you a written report for the insurer. The number is 021 419 3077.

How do I decide between repairing and replacing in Ballyvolane?

A local fault such as one slipped slate, a cracked ridge or a split flashing is a repair. When felt and battens have failed over a whole slope, a new covering costs less than repeated patching. The written survey gives you the answer.

Does a survey in Ballyvolane cost anything?

Not when it is for a repair or replacement quote. A separate written inspection report is priced when you book.
