Roofing contractors working in Finglas
Finglas is built largely from mid-century local authority and private estate housing, with long terraces and semi-detached runs carrying concrete tile roofs, plus later infill, apartment blocks and commercial units along the main routes.
The roofing pattern across an area built in phases is fairly consistent. Tiles last well; the mortar holding ridges, hips and verges does not, and neither does a plastic or timber roofline that has been carrying overflowing gutters for years. Where houses have been extended to the rear or had a garage converted, flat roofs and the junction with the main wall become the second common source of leaks.
Vantage Roofing works regularly across Finglas and the neighbouring north and west Dublin areas, with jobs here often alongside work in Glasnevin, Ballymun and out towards Blanchardstown. Free written quotations follow an inspection, and emergency roof repair call-outs are available at any hour.

Local Knowledge
Common roofing problems in Finglas
What we typically find on roofs in this part of Dublin.
Loose ridge and hip tiles
Cracked and washed-out bedding mortar is the most common fault we find on roofs of this age here, and it is both a leak risk and a safety one where tiles sit above a path.
Verge and gable edges
End-of-terrace and gable-facing roofs take more wind than the houses in the middle of a run, and the verge is usually the detail that shows it first.
Roofline and gutter overflow
Gutters that overflow at the back of the run soak the fascia and wall head rather than spilling clear, so the damage is often well advanced before it is noticed from inside.
Flat roofs on extensions and garages
Older felt on a rear extension or converted garage splits, and the upstand where it meets the house is a frequent point of entry that has nothing to do with the main roof.

Call 087 466 6010Repair or re-roof in Finglas?
Most estate roofs here are repairable, and ridge, verge, valley and roofline work can add years to a roof that looks past it from the footpath. Replacement becomes the better option where tiles are slipping widely, where the membrane under them has perished, or where you have paid for the same repair more than once. We would rather say a roof has life left in it than sell a re-roof it does not need.

Questions from Finglas homeowners
Can ridge tiles be re-bedded rather than replaced?
Usually, yes. Where the tiles themselves are intact the ridge can be lifted, cleaned and re-bedded, or converted to a mechanically fixed dry ridge. Replacement of the tiles is only needed where they are cracked or broken.
Do you do work on flat roofs over garages?
Yes. Converted garages and rear extensions are a regular job here, and many leaks are at the upstand or outlet rather than in the field of the roof, which keeps the repair contained.
How soon should I deal with sagging gutters?
Before the next wet spell if you can. Overflow at the back of a gutter runs down the wall head and into the fascia, and the timber damage costs more to put right than the gutter did.
Do you quote for roofing work on rental property?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords and managed properties, and quotations are in writing so the scope is clear to whoever is paying for it.
Are you insured?
Yes, Vantage Roofing is fully insured, and we work regularly across Finglas and the surrounding areas.
