01 / Roofs in Rochestown

How roofs age in Rochestown.

Rochestown lies on higher ground on the south side of the city, beyond Douglas, with housing mostly from the 1970s onwards.

The position is more open than much of the city, so rain arrives sideways and gusts work at ridges and edges. On exposed roofs we consider a dry-fix ridge and verge, closer fixings along the edges and the right material for the wind.

02 / Typical faults

Problems we meet most.

  • Wind-lifted tiles and ridges on open slopes.
  • Verge mortar pulling from the gable.
  • Felt wear on roofs thirty to fifty years old.
  • Flat extension roofs exposed to the weather.
03 / Where we would begin

We check the edges, the ridge and the verge first, since on an open site they are the first to fail.

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

What would a new roof in Rochestown cost?

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 Rochestown?

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 Rochestown?

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 Rochestown cost anything?

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