- Ask for photos of the problem from the roof before and after the work

What affects the price in Dún Laoghaire
Dún Laoghaire has Victorian terraces and villas near the harbour, where sea exposure is high, plus apartments in the town centre. Dún Laoghaire is in Co. Dublin and falls under Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown.
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.
- 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
- Chimney and lead flashing work

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does roofing cost in Dún Laoghaire?
It depends on the job. Typical prices range from €150–€400 for a make-safe for smaller jobs up to €10,000–€30,000 for larger projects.
Why might a quote in Dún Laoghaire be higher or lower?
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.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
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.
