Homes in Dún Laoghaire & South Coast and what that means for roofing
Victorian terraces and large granite and brick villas in Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney, with mid-century homes around Blackrock and Booterstown. Sea exposure is high along the whole stretch.
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. 1930s–1960s roofs are commonly slate or early concrete tile, often past their original felt's lifespan and prone to slipped slates and failing ridge tiles.
What to check before you hire a roofer
- Ask for photos of the problem from the roof before and after the work
- Check they have public liability insurance and working-at-height cover
- Get the scaffolding cost confirmed in the quote
- Ask what guarantee is given and whether it is written
- For older fibre-cement slates, ask how asbestos risk will be assessed

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover Blackrock, Booterstown, Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney?
Yes. Dún Laoghaire & South Coast includes Blackrock, Booterstown, Monkstown, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey and Killiney. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What roofing issues are common in Dún Laoghaire & South Coast?
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. 1930s–1960s roofs are commonly slate or early concrete tile, often past their original felt's lifespan and prone to slipped slates and failing ridge tiles.
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.
Do I need planning permission for roof work?
Like-for-like repairs usually don't. Changing the roof shape, or work on a protected structure or in a conservation area, may need permission.
