Homes in Knocklyon and what that means for roofing
Knocklyon has 1970s–1990s semi-detached and detached family homes, many already extended. Knocklyon is in Dublin 16 and falls under South Dublin County Council.
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. 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. Newer homes tend to have concrete tile or artificial slate roofs, with flat-roof extensions and dormers being the main leak risk.
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

Yes. We cover Knocklyon, Tallaght, Rathfarnham, Terenure and Templeogue and the rest of South West Dublin.
What roofing problems are common in Knocklyon?
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. 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. Newer homes tend to have concrete tile or artificial slate roofs, with flat-roof extensions and dormers being the main leak risk.
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.
