Roofers in South Dublin

Roofing across South Dublin

South Dublin holds the widest range of roof types in the city. The inner southside — Dublin 4 and 6 and the roads around them — is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian houses with natural slate, tall stacks, hand-formed lead and, on many of them, parapet or concealed gutters. Vantage Roofing's own business address is here, at 39 Northumberland Rd in Ballsbridge.

Further out, the suburbs built from the 1950s onwards bring tiled pitched roofs, long eaves runs and a large stock of extensions, dormers and converted garages. Along the coast from Sandymount through Blackrock, Monkstown and Dún Laoghaire to Dalkey and Killiney, exposure becomes the deciding factor and the details — ridges, verges, flashings and rainwater goods — are what need attention first.

Because the roofs differ so much, so does the right answer. Period roofs are usually about keeping sound material on the building and repairing the detail around it; suburban tile roofs are usually about mortar, roofline and junctions. Both start with an inspection and a free written quotation.
