When is it Time for a Full Roof Replacement?

Many homeowners in Dublin are told they need a new roof when a repair would suffice. We prioritize honesty. However, a full replacement is usually the most cost-effective long-term move if:

  • Widespread "Nail Sickness": Common in older Dublin homes where the nails holding slates have rusted away, leading to constant "slipped" slates.

  • Structural Timber Rot: If water has reached the rafters and battens, the roof's integrity is compromised.

  • Age of Materials: Most standard concrete tiles have a functional lifespan of 30–40 years. Beyond this, they become porous and brittle.

  • Persistent Leaks: If you are repairing a new leak every winter, the cost of individual repairs will quickly exceed the cost of a full reroofing project.

  • Emergency Repairs
  • Storm Damage Repairs

Our 4-Layer "Safe-Home" Installation Process

We follow a strict technical protocol to ensure your new roof exceeds national standards:

Complete Strip & Timber Inspection

We remove all old tiles and laths to inspect the rafters. Any signs of rot or woodworm are treated or replaced before we proceed.

Breathable Membrane Installation

We install high-performance, tear-resistant breathable membranes. This is the "lung" of your house, allowing moisture to escape from your attic while keeping 100% of external water out.

Pressure-Treated Battens

We use only graded, pressure-treated timber laths. We secure these with stainless steel or galvanized fixings, which are essential for coastal properties in Howth or Malahide to prevent salt-air corrosion.

Premium Tile or Slate Finishing

Whether you choose Natural Blue Bangor Slates, Tegral Fiber-Cement Slates, or Concrete Tiles, we ensure every ridge, valley, and gable is finished to a master-craftsman standard.

Solving the "Dublin Climate" Problem

Dublin roofs face a specific set of challenges: salt air corrosion on the coast (Malahide, Howth, Sandymount) and high-wind uplift in the suburbs (Tallaght, Stepaside).

We don't use generic materials. We use stainless steel fixings and breathable membranes that exceed Irish Building Regulations (S.R. 82:2020), ensuring your roof can breathe while keeping the Irish rain out.

We have dedicated teams operating in both North Dublin and South Dublin daily.

New Roof Replacement FAQs

For most standard semi-detached or terraced homes, a full roof replacement takes between 4 to 6 working days, weather permitting. We monitor Met Éireann daily and use industrial-grade "dry-in" sheeting every evening to ensure your home is never left exposed to the elements overnight.

No, there is no need to move out. While there will be some noise during the "stripping" phase, our teams work strictly between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM to minimize disruption. We handle all scaffolding, skip hire, and site safety, so you can go about your daily routine as normal.

Yes, significantly. As part of a reroofing project, we ensure that your attic ventilation is upgraded to current standards. We can also advise on and install additional high-performance insulation during the process, which drastically reduces heat loss and lowers your energy bills.

Concrete tiles are the most cost-effective and durable option for modern estates. Slates (either natural stone or fiber-cement) offer a more traditional, "premium" look that is often required for heritage areas like Rathgar or Glasnevin. We will provide samples of both during your consultation to help you choose.

If your roof was destroyed by a storm, your home insurance may cover the replacement cost. As a fully insured and VAT-registered contractor, we provide the detailed structural reports and itemized quotes that insurance adjusters require to approve your claim.

The Cost of a New Roof in Dublin (2026 Guide)

A new roof is an investment in your home's resale value and energy efficiency. While every property is unique, here are our transparent starting rates for full replacements:

A standard 3-bedroom terraced house roof replacement typically starts from €6,500, including all materials and waste disposal.

For a larger semi-detached property, prices generally range between €8,500 and €12,000, depending on the choice of slate or tile.

If you require a heritage restoration using natural stone or Blue Bangor slates, costs can exceed €15,000 due to the specialized labor and material costs. All our new roof installations come with a 20-year written workmanship guarantee and a full VAT invoice for your property records.
