Homes in North County Dublin and what that means for roofing
Fast-growing towns with a lot of 1990s–2010s estate housing, especially in Swords and Lusk, plus older cottages and seafront homes in Rush and Skerries. The coastal towns are exposed to strong easterly weather.
Newer homes tend to have concrete tile or artificial slate roofs, with flat-roof extensions and dormers being the main leak risk. 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. Salt-laden wind and driving rain shorten the life of fixings, flashings, gutters and ridge mortar, so exposed homes need more frequent checks.
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 Swords, Lusk, Rush and Skerries?
Yes. North County Dublin includes Swords, Lusk, Rush and Skerries. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What roofing issues are common in North County Dublin?
Newer homes tend to have concrete tile or artificial slate roofs, with flat-roof extensions and dormers being the main leak risk. 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. 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.
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.
