Roofing contractors working in Crumlin
Crumlin is a settled Dublin 12 area of long terraces and semi-detached houses laid out in the middle of the last century, with later infill and apartment development along the main roads. The roofs are a mix: original slate on plenty of houses, tile re-coverings on plenty more, and almost universally a rear extension added at some stage.
Because so many roofs here were built to the same pattern and have been altered in different ways since, what is actually on a Crumlin roof varies house to house even within one terrace. That matters — the right repair for an original slate roof with corroded fixings is nothing like the right repair for a tiled re-covering with failed ridge bedding, and quoting without knowing which you have is guesswork.
Vantage Roofing works regularly across Crumlin, Drimnagh, Walkinstown and the surrounding Dublin 12 streets. Inspections and free written quotations are arranged during normal working hours, with emergency roof repair call-outs available 24 hours a day if water is already getting in.

Local Knowledge
Common roofing problems in Crumlin
What we typically find on roofs in this part of Dublin.
Slipping slates on original roofs
Where the original covering remains, corroded nails let sound slates slip. It happens gradually and across the roof, and the pattern matters more than any single slate.
Ridge and verge on re-covered roofs
Tiled re-coverings of a certain age lose their ridge and verge mortar first, which is both a leak path and a wind risk on an end-of-terrace roof.
Chimney stacks
Shared and capped stacks are common here. Eroded pointing and old flashing at the base are behind a large share of leaks that appear in an upstairs ceiling.
Rear extension flat roofs
Kitchen and bathroom extensions carry flat roofs, and split felt or a failed upstand against the back wall is one of the most frequent reasons we are called to a Crumlin house.

Call 087 466 6010Repair or re-roof in Crumlin?
Plenty of Crumlin roofs have years left in them and only need their details put right. Replacement becomes the sensible option where slippage is widespread, where the felt or membrane below has perished, or where the same patch has been paid for more than once. Because roofs on the same street have had such different histories, the answer for your house is not the answer for your neighbour's — which is why we inspect before advising.

Questions from Crumlin homeowners
Do you cover Drimnagh and Walkinstown as well?
Yes. Crumlin, Drimnagh, Walkinstown and the surrounding Dublin 12 streets are all regular working areas, and the housing is similar enough that the work usually is too.
How do I know whether my roof is slate or a tile re-covering?
It is not always obvious from the ground, especially where a roof was re-covered decades ago. It is one of the first things established at an inspection, because it decides what any sensible repair looks like.
The leak only appears above the extension — is the main roof involved?
Frequently not. Water appearing at the back of the house usually starts at the flat roof upstand or the flashing where the extension meets the wall, and that can be repaired on its own.
Can you give a price over the phone?
We can give a rough indication from a description and photos so you know roughly what kind of job it is. A firm written quotation follows an appropriate assessment, and it is free and without obligation.
Are you insured?
Yes, Vantage Roofing is fully insured, and we work regularly across Crumlin and the surrounding Dublin 12 area.
