Peak Roofing and Building specialises in natural slate roof repairs and restoration throughout Rathfarnham. Natural slate is the most durable roofing material available — when properly maintained, a slate roof can last well over 100 years. We carry out selective slate replacement, full restoration projects, and hip and ridge repointing on all types of natural slate roofs across Rathfarnham. Where possible, we always recommend repair over full replacement to preserve the original character of the roof.

Natural slate roofs are common across Rathfarnham, particularly on properties built before 1960. Victorian, Edwardian and 1930s properties in Rathfarnham typically feature Welsh or Irish blue-grey natural slate. While the slates themselves often remain sound for many decades, the mortar bedding, slate nibs and felt underlay beneath them deteriorate at a much faster rate. Our free slate roof survey across Rathfarnham checks all of these components and gives you an accurate picture of the roof's condition.

Areas we cover in Rathfarnham: Butterfield Avenue, Ballyboden Road, Whitechurch Road, Taylor's Lane, Dodder Valley Park surrounds, Scholarstown Road and Marlay Park adjacent estates
