01 / Roofs in Glasheen

How roofs age in Glasheen.

Glasheen is a south-western suburb of terraces and semi-detached houses, many from the early and middle twentieth century, running along the main road towards the hospital.

Houses of that age have been repaired many times by many owners, so roofs of two or three kinds of tile are normal here, and it tells us to survey the whole slope rather than the patch. The felt beneath is often long past its best.

02 / Typical faults

Problems we meet most.

  • Unmatched patches in tile and slate.
  • Loose ridge tiles on mortar that has weathered.
  • Old felt and soft battens under a good-looking roof.
  • Ageing flat roofs on rear extensions.
03 / Where we would begin

We look at what is really up there first: the covering, the felt and the battens.

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

Roughly €12,000–€28,000+ for a complete slate roof and €8,000–€18,000 for concrete tile, as a 2026 guide. Size, pitch and the state of the timber underneath move the figure. A complete replacement carries the Lifetime Leak Guarantee.

Do you answer emergency calls in Glasheen?

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 Glasheen?

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 Glasheen cost anything?

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