Repointing, lead flashing, chimney pots and full stack rebuilds. Free inspection.
Crumbling chimney mortar, failed lead flashing and cracked chimney pots are among the most common causes of roof leaks in Rathmines. Our roofing specialists carry out everything from minor repointing to full stack rebuilds across Rathmines — 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.
Rathmines is a densely populated inner south Dublin suburb with a large student population and one of Dublin's highest concentrations of Victorian and Edwardian housing, much of which has been divided into apartments over the decades. Properties in Rathmines are predominantly Victorian terraces and villas, large Edwardian houses divided into apartments, 1930s semi-detached homes and purpose-built apartment blocks near the main road. Common roof issues we address here include natural slate deterioration on Victorian and Edwardian properties, chimney repointing across densely packed terraced streets, flat roof failures on rear extension apartments, failed lead valleys on complex Victorian rooflines, and guttering on terraced rows, meaning chimney maintenance is particularly important for Rathmines homeowners. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Rathmines — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.
