Slate replacement, ridge repointing and full slate roof restoration. Welsh and Irish slate matched.
Natural slate is the most durable roofing material available — properly maintained, a slate roof can last well over 100 years. Our natural slate specialists carry out selective slate replacement, full restoration projects and hip and ridge repointing on all slate roof types across Howth. Where the slates themselves are sound but the mortar bedding, nibs or felt underlay have failed, repair is almost always the right solution — and we will always recommend it over full replacement where it makes sense. Repairs start from €350, with most completed the same day. Free survey, written quote, no call-out charge.
Howth is a picturesque fishing village and peninsula suburb on the northern tip of Dublin Bay, with a dramatic mix of older cottages near the harbour, Victorian and Edwardian villas on the hillside, and modern developments above the cliff walks. Properties in Howth are predominantly Period cottages and terraced houses near the harbour, Victorian and Edwardian semi-detached and detached properties on the hillside, large detached homes on elevated cliff-side plots with sea views, and some modern new-build developments. Common roof issues we address here include severe salt air mortar erosion on all chimney stacks and ridge tiles, natural slate wear on older period properties, lead valley failures on complex Victorian rooflines, storm damage on exposed elevated properties, and seagull-related ridge and chimney damage, making professional roofing maintenance essential for Howth properties. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Howth — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.
