Peak Roofing and Building carries out all types of chimney repair work throughout Rathgar, from minor repointing of crumbling mortar joints to full chimney stack rebuilds. Chimney problems are among the most common causes of roof leaks in Rathgar: deteriorated pointing allows water to penetrate the stack, failed lead flashing creates a direct leak path, and cracked chimney pots allow water entry from above. We can diagnose and repair all of these on a single visit.

Properties in Rathgar are predominantly Victorian and Edwardian large detached and semi-detached red-brick houses, some 1930s detached residences, period conversions. Common roof issues we address here include natural slate replacement and repair, lead valley and hip flashing failure, chimney stack repointing and rebuild, moss and lichen growth on older pitches, failing valley gutters on large period properties. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Rathgar — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.

"James and the team have done two different jobs for us. The first was to re-felt our roof and fix the flashing around the chimney and clear gutters which cleared up 2 substantial leaks that had been causing damage. He kept us updated with videos of the work throughout the day to show work complete and progress."
