How roofs age in Shandon.
Shandon rises on the hill above the north bank of the Lee, with steep, narrow streets and rows of older terraced houses stacked up the slope. The roofs here are old, close together and often hard to reach.
Terraces share walls, chimneys and eaves, so a failed flashing on one house is soon a damp patch in the next. On a steep street, getting scaffold or a tower to the roof is part of the plan, and we agree it with you and the neighbours before the work begins.
Problems we meet most.
- Rusted fixings on older slate roofs.
- Split lead round shared chimneys and party walls.
- Slipped slates on steep pitches facing the wind.
- Hard access that needs a tower or scaffold.
We look at how the terrace fits together first: the party walls, the chimneys and the shared eaves, then the slates and the lead.
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 Shandon?
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 Shandon?
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 Shandon cost anything?
Not when it is for a repair or replacement quote. A separate written inspection report is priced when you book.
