Why Roof Tiles & Slates Fail
Nail Fatigue
Original nails corrode over time, allowing slates or tiles to slip or drop.
Weathering & Frost Damage
Natural slate can delaminate; clay tiles can crack in freeze-thaw cycles.
Poor Fixings
Undersized or incorrectly positioned fixings fail under wind load.
Ridge Mortar Failure
Traditional mortar-bedded ridges deteriorate, allowing wind and rain in.
Wind Uplift
High winds can lift improperly secured tiles, especially near edges and ridges.
Blocked Gutters Causing Damp
Overflow can saturate roofline timbers, leading to nail rust and tile movement.
Our Roof Tile & Slate Repair Services in Dublin
When you need slate or tile roof repairs in Dublin, we focus on matching your existing materials and carrying out tidy, targeted repairs that blend in with the surrounding roof. We don’t oversell, if a few tiles need replacing, that’s what we quote for. If your roof is showing signs of broader issues, we’ll explain your options honestly and let you decide.
Repairs are carried out safely using proper access equipment, with attention to detail and a tidy finish. We secure new slates or tiles using appropriate fixings – not just nails, but stainless steel fixings where needed for longevity. If ridge tiles need re-bedding, we use flexible mortar or recommend a dry ridge system upgrade for better wind resistance and ventilation. All work is cleared up properly, and we provide a written quote before starting any follow-on work.

Roof Tile Repair vs Re-Roof: What You Need
When Repair Is Enough
- Isolated tile or slate damage
- Recent storm damage to specific section
- Ridge tiles in need of re-bedding
- Roof generally in good condition
- Slipped tiles from nail fatigue (few tiles)
When Re-Roof May Be Better
- Widespread tile or slate failures across roof
- Underfelt visible and deteriorated
- Multiple leaks after multiple repairs
- Extensive nail fatigue or tile delamination
- Roof nearing end of expected lifespan
We’ll inspect the roof and explain both options so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match my existing roof tiles or slates for a repair?
Yes, in most cases. We source matching tiles and slates for roof tile repairs across Dublin, whether you have natural slate, clay tiles, or concrete interlocking tiles. For older properties with reclaimed slate, we work with suppliers who stock period materials. For more common concrete or clay tiles, we can usually match size, profile, and colour very closely. If an exact match isn’t available, we’ll explain your options – sometimes a near-match blends in well, or we may suggest replacing a visible section entirely with new tiles for consistency. We always show you samples before proceeding.
How fast can you carry out storm damage roof tile repairs in dublin?
We aim to respond as quickly as possible for storm damage roof tile repairs in Dublin, often within the same day for urgent issues where tiles or slates have blown off and water is getting in. If the damage is significant, we can carry out emergency make-safe repairs, such as temporary coverings or securing loose sections, to prevent further water ingress while we source matching replacement roof tiles for the permanent fix. Full repairs are usually completed within a few days, depending on material availability and weather conditions. For less urgent storm damage, we typically attend within 24-48 hours.
Do you repair ridge tiles?
Yes, ridge tile repair is a core part of our roof tile repair service in Dublin. We can re-bed loose or damaged ridge tiles using flexible mortar for better wind resistance, or we can upgrade to a dry ridge system – a mechanical fixing that doesn’t rely on mortar and provides better ventilation. Dry ridge systems are particularly effective on exposed roofs or properties that have had repeated ridge failures. We’ll inspect the ridge, explain the options, and provide a clear quote for the work.
Do you provide written quotes for roof tile repairs?
Yes, always. After inspecting the roof and identifying which tiles or slates need replacing, we provide a detailed written quote that breaks down materials, labour, and access requirements. The quote is clear and fixed, no hidden extras. If we discover additional issues during the repair (for example, damaged underfelt or rotten battens), we’ll stop, explain what we’ve found, and provide a revised quote before proceeding. You’re always in control of what work goes ahead.
Can you inspect the roof before recommending a repair or replacement?
Absolutely. If you’re concerned about the overall condition of your roof, we can carry out a full inspection and give you an honest assessment before any roof tile repair begins. We’ll check for widespread failures, underfelt condition (where visible), batten quality, and any signs of broader deterioration. We’ll explain whether targeted repairs will be sufficient or whether a re-roof is the better long-term investment. We don’t oversell, if repairs will last another 10-15 years, we’ll recommend that over replacement. Our goal is to give you accurate information so you can make the right decision for your property and budget.
Are you insured for roof tile repairs?
Yes, we carry full public liability insurance for all roofing work, including roof tile repairs, ridge work, and storm damage call-outs. This protects your property while we work at height. You can ask to see our insurance documentation at any time. We also follow proper health and safety procedures for all roof access, including scaffolding, ladders, and harnesses where appropriate.
Do you repair valleys and chimneys as part of roof tile repair work?
Yes, we repair valleys, chimney flashings, and other details as part of a roof tile repair. Valley leaks are often caused by debris buildup or damaged valley tiles, and we can clear, repair, or replace valley sections as needed. Chimney flashings, the lead or metal seal between the chimney and roof, are a common source of leaks, and we carry out targeted repairs or replacements to stop water ingress. We take a holistic approach: if we’re already on the roof fixing tiles, we’ll check the surrounding details and flag any issues that might cause problems later.
Do you carry out roof tile repairs on domestic and commercial properties?
Yes, we carry out roof tile repairs on both domestic and commercial properties across Dublin. Domestic work includes everything from small terraced homes to large period properties with natural slate. Commercial work includes offices, retail units, apartment blocks, schools, and other buildings with pitched tile or slate roofs. We have the access equipment and experience to work safely on larger roofs, and we can schedule work to minimise disruption to your business or tenants.
How much does a roof tile repair cost in dublin?
The cost of a roof tile repair in Dublin depends on the extent of the damage, the type of tile or slate, and how easy the roof is to access safely. As a general guide, replacing a small number of cracked or slipped tiles is usually one of the more affordable repairs, while larger sections, ridge tile work, or repairs requiring scaffolding cost more. Dublin labour and access costs also tend to run slightly higher than rural areas, and natural slate repairs typically cost more than concrete tile repairs because matching salvaged slates takes more time and skill. Rather than quote a one-size-fits-all figure, we inspect the roof, identify exactly what needs doing, and give you a clear written quote with materials, labour, and access broken down, so you know the full cost before any work begins.
