Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my ceiling is bulging with water?
Keep people away from it, switch off lights in that room, and put a bucket underneath. A controlled small puncture may be safer than a collapse, but only if you can do it safely.
How much does emergency roofer cost in Dublin?
Typically €150–€400 for a make-safe. The exact price depends on access, the extent of the problem and whether parts or materials are needed.
How urgent is emergency roofer?
Urgent if water is reaching electrics or the ceiling is bulging.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?
A temporary tarp or make-safe can be done in most weather. Permanent repairs need dry conditions, especially for flat roofs and lead work.
Does insurance cover storm damage to my roof?
Most policies cover sudden storm damage, but not wear and tear. Photograph the damage and get a written report from the roofer.
How long does a roof last?
Natural slate roofs can last 60 years or more; concrete tiles around 40–60 years; felt flat roofs 10–20 years; EPDM and GRP flat roofs 25 years or more.
