What We Did
Full inspection of the roofline, gutters, downpipes and adjoining slate roof areas
Cleared moss, vegetation and debris from the gutter channels and lower roof valley areas
Repaired and realigned sections of black guttering to restore proper water flow
Checked downpipe outlets for blockages and confirmed drainage from the main roofline
Inspected the slate roof edges where water had been tracking behind the gutter line
Reviewed the flashing around the chimney, wall junctions and roof abutments for signs of water ingress
Secured loose roofline components and carried out localised maintenance to reduce the risk of future leaks
Cleared the work area and removed loose roof debris from accessible areas
The Issue
The homeowner in Rathmines contacted MJ Roofing & More after noticing water overflowing from the guttering during heavy rainfall. The property is an older Dublin terraced home with a slate roof, chimney stacks, roof windows and several roof junctions where water needs to be correctly directed away from the building.
During our roof inspection, we identified several issues affecting the roofline and drainage system:
- Moss and vegetation had built up along the slate roof and gutter edge
- Sections of guttering were holding water and not draining correctly
- Debris had collected around the lower roof valley and adjoining roof surfaces
- Some downpipe outlets required clearing to restore proper flow
- Older flashing details around the wall and chimney areas needed checking for possible water tracking
- The slate roof edges showed signs of weathering and required localised roof maintenance

Outcome
The roofline was left clean, secure and draining correctly, with the gutters and downpipes restored to proper working condition. Moss and loose debris were removed from the affected areas, and the roof was checked for visible signs of water ingress around the slate edges, chimney flashing and lower roof junctions.
The homeowner was advised to keep the gutters and roof valleys checked regularly, particularly after autumn leaf fall and periods of heavy rain. The completed work helped reduce the risk of overflowing gutters, blocked downpipes and water damage to the roof structure.
