Slate replacement, ridge repointing and full slate roof restoration. Welsh and Irish slate matched.
Rathmines 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 Rathmines. 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.
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, making professional roofing maintenance essential for Rathmines properties. Our roofers understand the construction methods and typical materials used in Rathmines — every inspection is free and every job begins with a written quote.
