Repairing slate and tiles on roofs in and around Dublin

Primary Causes of Leaking Roofs • Older Roofs - Older roofs between 25 to 50 years old can have a natural decline in its ability to keep a building dry. Natural deterioration in cement around the ridge tiles, cracked tiles and slate from sustained weather over the years, exposed timbers from rotting fascia and soffits especially where timber has been used in older houses. It is worth getting your roof checked every few years to pick up potential damage early. • Loose Ridge Tiles - As mentioned above, cracking mortar around ridge tiles allowing slate and tiles to leave in water on to the ceilings. • Blocked Ventilation - older vents can get blocked up and restricting air flow in your roof. • Loose Tiles & Slates - Often after high winds some of your tiles can get loose and shift. This can leave in water causing further damage. • Damaged Flashing - The flashing is the lead around dormer windows, skylights and chimneys, this can get damage leaving in water causing damage. •
