  • Sagging section or visible structural concern
  • Water coming near electrics or lighting
  • Chimney or flashings lifted in wind
  • Flat roof split or open seam
  • Blocked overflow causing internal damp
  • Major water ingress damaging ceilings/walls

If you’re unsure whether it’s an emergency, call us — we’ll advise on the best course of action.

What Happens On An Emergency Callout

When you call us for an emergency roof repair in Dublin, we aim to respond as quickly as possible — same-day where we can. Our priority is to stop further damage and make your property safe.
On arrival, we carry out a quick assessment to locate the entry point of the leak or identify the extent of storm damage. We’ll explain what we’ve found in plain language and advise on the best immediate action. Where possible, we apply a temporary fix or make-safe repair to stop water ingress — this might include patching a leak, securing loose tiles or slates, or applying emergency waterproofing.

We take photos for your records (useful for insurance claims or landlord documentation) and clearly explain your options. If a permanent repair can be completed there and then, we’ll discuss it. If follow-on works are needed, we provide a written quote before proceeding. You’re always in control — no surprise charges, no pressure.

Our goal is simple: make your roof safe, keep you informed, and give you a clear path forward with honest pricing and realistic timescales.

Cost & Quote Transparency

Emergency call-out costs depend on several factors, and we believe in being upfront about what affects pricing:
  • Height and access requirements
  • Materials needed for make-safe
  • Weather conditions
  • Extent of damage
  • Time of call-out
  • Location within Dublin

Important:

We provide a clear written quote before proceeding with any follow-on permanent repairs. Emergency make-safe work is charged separately and explained before we start.

Common Emergency Causes

Most emergency roof repairs in Dublin are caused by a handful of recurring issues. Here’s what we see most often:
  • Cracked or missing tile/slate
  • Valley issues causing water pooling
  • Flat roof seam split or blister
  • Ridge tile movement after wind
  • Nail fatigue or slipped slates
  • Failed flashing or leadwork
  • Blocked gutters causing overflow
  • Damaged felt edge or drip edge
  • Mortar failure around chimneys
  • Storm damage lifting roofline

For Landlords & Property Managers

We work with landlords, letting agents, and property managers regularly. Emergency roof repairs often need clear documentation for tenants, owners, and insurance purposes. Here’s what we provide:
  • Photo evidence for tenants/owners showing damage and completed work
  • Written quote with clear scope before permanent repairs
  • Optional inspection notes for property records
  • Scheduled follow-on repairs at a time that suits
  • Invoice and PO-friendly process for agencies

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you attend emergency roof repairs in Dublin?
We aim to respond as quickly as possible across Dublin, often within the same day for urgent leaks or storm damage. Response time depends on our current workload, your location, and weather conditions. If you have an active leak or safety concern, call us directly and we’ll prioritise your call-out. For less urgent issues, we can usually attend within 24-48 hours. Once on site, we focus on making the roof safe and stopping further damage immediately.
Move valuables away from the leak and place buckets under any drips to catch water. If water is near electrics or lighting, switch off power at the fuse box if safe to do so. Avoid going on the roof yourself, especially in wind or rain. Take photos of the damage for insurance purposes if you can do so safely. If you have a severe leak causing major water ingress, try to contain the water with towels or buckets and call us immediately so we can prioritise your call-out.
Yes, on emergency call-outs we focus on making the roof safe with temporary repairs or waterproofing wherever possible. This might include patching a leak, securing loose tiles or slates, applying emergency coverings, or making safe damaged flashing. These temporary fixes stop further damage while we prepare a written quote for permanent repairs. You’re under no obligation to proceed with follow-on work, but most customers choose to schedule permanent repairs once the immediate emergency is resolved.
We can attend in most weather conditions to assess the damage and apply temporary waterproofing or make-safe repairs where safe to do so. However, some permanent repairs may need to wait until conditions improve — working on a roof in high winds or heavy rain can be dangerous and ineffective. We’ll always be honest about what we can do safely on the day and schedule follow-on work as soon as conditions allow. Safety for our team and your property is always the priority.
Yes, absolutely. We take photos during the call-out to document the damage and the temporary repairs carried out. This is especially useful for landlords, property managers, or insurance claims. If follow-on permanent repairs are needed, we provide a clear written quote with a breakdown of materials and labour before proceeding. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for — no hidden extras, no surprises. Emergency make-safe work is charged separately and explained upfront.
Yes, storm damage is one of the most common reasons for emergency call-outs in Dublin. We can attend after storms to assess damage, secure loose or missing slates and tiles, make safe lifted flashing or ridge tiles, and apply temporary coverings if needed. We also provide photo documentation for insurance claims. Once the immediate danger is resolved, we schedule permanent repairs and can liaise with your insurance company if required.
Yes, flat roof leaks often need urgent attention because they can cause significant water damage quickly. We attend emergency call-outs for flat roof splits, open seams, blisters, or ponding issues. We can apply temporary patches or waterproofing to stop the leak, then provide a quote for permanent repairs such as fibreglass coating, liquid rubber application, or section replacement. Flat roof emergencies are common in Dublin and we’re experienced in dealing with them quickly.
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance for all roofing work, including emergency call-outs. You can ask to see our insurance documentation at any time. This protects your property while we work, whether it’s a quick make-safe repair or a larger emergency repair. Insurance is especially important during urgent work where access and conditions may be challenging.
