Storm damaged your roof? Peak Roofing provides the written inspection report, photographic evidence and repair estimate your insurer needs. Based in Sandyford, serving Donnybrook and all of Dublin. Free inspection, no call-out charge.
Roof insurance claims in Donnybrook most commonly involve storm damage to large Victorian villas and Edwardian detached homes and other properties across the area. Donnybrook roofs frequently develop natural slate deterioration on large period homes, all of which can form the basis of a valid home insurance claim. Peak Roofing provides free roof inspections for insurance claims in Donnybrook — a written report, photographic evidence and itemised repair estimate in the format required by Irish insurers. We support homeowners through roof insurance claims with Aviva, AXA, Allianz, FBD and all major Irish insurers.

Common Claim Types
What Dublin Homeowners Claim For
⚡ Storm Damage
Tiles blown off, ridge tiles displaced, lead flashings torn from chimney stacks, felt underlays torn, guttering ripped away by wind. Dublin storms including Storm Éowyn, Storm Babet and Storm Debi generated large volumes of valid claims.
🌳 Fallen Tree Impact
Structural timber damage beneath tiles, typically covered as an accidental event under home insurance. We document the point of impact, affected rafters or purlins, and full scope of repair required.
🏔 Chimney Damage
Partial collapse or cracking, particularly on older Dublin properties where lime mortar pointing has softened over time. We confirm whether damage is storm-related or pre-existing deterioration.
💦 Water Ingress
The insurer needs the entry point confirmed as storm-related — our report identifies the exact breach, rules out pre-existing defects, and specifies the repair required to restore weathertightness.

For claims above approximately €2,000 to €3,000 your insurer will typically appoint an independent loss adjuster to inspect the damage in Donnybrook. The loss adjuster works for your insurer, not for you. Our independent inspection report gives you your own professional assessment to use if you need to challenge their findings.
Report to your insurer within 24 to 48 hours where possible. Photograph damage from ground level — do not go on the roof. If water is entering the property call Peak Roofing immediately on 085 782 8222 for emergency temporary waterproofing in Donnybrook. Failure to prevent further damage can affect your claim payout.
Our inspection report clearly identifies the cause of damage, rules out pre-existing deterioration where appropriate, and states the work required to restore the roof to its pre-damage condition. If your insurer rejects a valid claim you can refer to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman in Ireland free of charge.
Yes — if your roof in Donnybrook has spray foam insulation your insurer may require it removed before paying out on a claim, as surveyors cannot inspect the underlying timber through foam. This is an increasing issue across Dublin particularly in properties where foam was installed under government energy schemes in the 2000s and 2010s. Peak Roofing carries out professional spray foam removal across Donnybrook.
