Roofing contractors working in Artane
Artane grew rapidly through the middle of the last century, and much of the area is made up of large estates of semi-detached and terraced houses built with concrete tile roofs. That building era is now well past the point where original ridge mortar, verges and rooflines start needing genuine attention rather than a quick patch.
The most common call we get from Artane is not a dramatic leak but a slow deterioration: ridge tiles that rock in the wind because the bedding mortar has cracked and washed out over decades, fascia and soffit boards that have gone soft or pulled away from the roofline, and guttering that has started to sag or overflow. None of it is unusual for a roof of this age, and most of it is straightforward to put right.
We regularly work in Artane alongside nearby Raheny, Clontarf and Drumcondra, often covering more than one of these areas on the same runs. Routine work and quotations run Monday to Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 9 to 4, and emergency roof repair call-outs are available at any hour if a roof has been damaged suddenly.

Local Knowledge
Common roofing problems in Artane
What we typically find on roofs in this part of Dublin.
Ridge and verge mortar failing
The bedding mortar on estate roofs of this age is now commonly cracked or missing altogether, which leaves ridge and verge tiles loose and at risk in strong wind.
Tired roofline timber
Original timber fascia and soffit boards on Artane houses have often gone soft or started pulling away, which lets water track behind the guttering and into the eaves.
Sagging or leaking gutters
Guttering fitted decades ago is frequently undersized or has dropped out of fall, causing overflow that stains render and soaks into walls below.
Garage and extension flat roofs
Flat roofs over garages and single-storey extensions are common across the estates, and old felt coverings past their working life are a regular source of damp patches inside.

Call 087 466 6010Repair or replace an Artane roof?
Most Artane roofs we look at have plenty of life left in the tiles themselves, with the problems concentrated in the ridge, verges and roofline rather than the roof as a whole. Replacement is worth considering where the roofline timber has failed extensively, where flat roof coverings have gone beyond repair, or where a full re-roof would be more economical than a series of ongoing patches. We only recommend that after inspecting the roof.

Questions from Artane homeowners
Why are ridge tiles loose on older Artane houses?
It's usually the bedding mortar underneath that has cracked and washed out with age, rather than a problem with the tiles themselves. Re-bedding or re-pointing the ridge generally solves it.
Do you replace fascias and soffits as well as gutters?
Yes, we treat the roofline as a whole. Replacing guttering on rotten fascia boards is a false economy, so we'll flag it if the timber needs attention too.
Can you fix a leaking flat roof over a garage?
Yes, flat roof repair and replacement over garages and extensions is common work for us in Artane.
Do you cover storm damage call-outs?
Yes. If wind has lifted tiles or damaged a roof, emergency call-outs are available 24/7 on 087 466 6010.
How do I know if my roofline needs replacing?
Soft or spongy fascia and soffit boards, paint that keeps blistering, or guttering that has started to sag away from the roof are all signs the timber behind it needs attention, not just the gutter itself.
