Crumbling chimney mortar, failed lead flashing and cracked chimney pots are among the most common causes of roof leaks in Rathgar. Our roofing specialists carry out everything from minor repointing to full stack rebuilds across Rathgar — deteriorated pointing allows water to penetrate the stack, while failed lead creates a direct leak path into the roof. We diagnose and repair all chimney issues on a single visit, with a free inspection and written quote before any work begins.

Rathgar is a prosperous Victorian and Edwardian south Dublin suburb known for its large red-brick detached and semi-detached houses, tree-lined avenues and conservation areas around Rathgar Road and Zion Road. 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, meaning chimney maintenance is particularly important for Rathgar homeowners. 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."

Frequently Asked Questions

From €750 — most jobs completed in 1 day. Free inspection and written quote always provided before work begins. Note: Lead flashing replacement is a separate job — typically €500–€1,200, always quoted separately after inspection.
Chimney repointing replaces the mortar between the brickwork of the stack. Lead flashing replacement removes and relays the lead where the chimney meets the roof surface. These are separate jobs, always quoted and invoiced separately. Repointing does not include lead work unless explicitly stated in the written quote.
Common signs include visible gaps or crumbling mortar between the bricks, water stains on ceilings near the chimney breast, loose or missing chimney pots, and mortar debris in the gutters below. A free inspection is the most reliable way to assess the condition of your chimney stack — we cover all of Rathgar with no call-out charge.
Most chimney repointing jobs in Rathgar are completed in 1 day. Larger stacks or those requiring scaffolding may take slightly longer. We always confirm the expected duration in our written quote before any work begins.
Yes. We supply and fit replacement chimney pots, anti-downdraft cowls and bird guards across Rathgar. Chimney pot replacement is typically included within the repointing quote where pots are loose or cracked.
