What to check before you hire a roofer

- For older fibre-cement slates, ask how asbestos risk will be assessed
Homes in Donaghmede and what that means for this job
Donaghmede is largely 1970s and 1980s estate housing, with semi-detached and terraced homes. Donaghmede is in Dublin 13 and falls under Dublin City Council.
1970s–1990s estates often have concrete tile roofs; some used fibre-cement slates that may contain asbestos, and fascias and soffits of that era are often due replacement. Period roofs are often natural slate with lead valleys, parapet gutters and chimneys that need repointing, and valley and chimney flashings are the usual leak points. Salt-laden wind and driving rain shorten the life of fixings, flashings, gutters and ridge mortar, so exposed homes need more frequent checks.
What the fix involves and typical cost in Donaghmede
Trace the leak path from inside and outside, then repair the specific failure.
Typical price: €200–€800 (indicative Dublin range incl. VAT). The final price depends on:
- Scaffolding or cherry-picker access
- Roof pitch, height and the number of storeys
- Slate type (natural, fibre-cement or concrete tile)
- Condition of battens and felt underneath

What should I know about homes in Donaghmede?
1970s–1990s estates often have concrete tile roofs; some used fibre-cement slates that may contain asbestos, and fascias and soffits of that era are often due replacement. Period roofs are often natural slate with lead valleys, parapet gutters and chimneys that need repointing, and valley and chimney flashings are the usual leak points. Salt-laden wind and driving rain shorten the life of fixings, flashings, gutters and ridge mortar, so exposed homes need more frequent checks.
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.
