Slate replacement, ridge repointing and full slate roof restoration. Welsh and Irish slate matched.
Rathfarnham homeowners trust Peak Roofing for slate roofs. 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 Rathfarnham. 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.
Rathfarnham is a historic south Dublin village with a castle and a wide variety of housing stock ranging from Victorian and Edwardian properties near the village centre to large 1960s, 1970s and 1980s residential estates on the surrounding hillsides. Properties in Rathfarnham are predominantly Victorian and Edwardian homes near the village, 1960s to 1980s semi-detached estate houses, larger detached homes along Whitechurch Road and Ballyboden Road, and some modern infill. Common roof issues we address here include felt underlay deterioration on 1960s and 1970s estate roofs approaching the end of their lifespan, chimney repointing on period village properties, cracked ridge tile pointing on ageing semi-detached houses, and storm damage on exposed hillside properties, making professional roofing maintenance essential for Rathfarnham properties. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Rathfarnham — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.
