Emergency Roof Repairs in Dublin, Day or Night
Storm damage, sudden leaks, slipped slates and blocked valleys made safe fast, by a family-run Dublin team on call since 1989.
Fast Emergency Roof Repairs Across Dublin, 24/7
Emergency roof repairs in Dublin are what we do when a roof gives way without warning and cannot wait for a booking next week. A storm strips slates off a Clontarf semi overnight, water starts coming through a bedroom ceiling in Rathmines, or a length of flashing lets go in driving rain, and the priority is simple, stop the water and make the roof safe. Our family-run team has been doing exactly that across Dublin since 1989.
The longer a live leak sits, the more damage it does, moving from the roof covering into the ceiling, then the plaster, insulation and timbers below. That is why we treat a live leak as urgent and get a roofer out as fast as we can, often the same day. The first job is always to make the roof watertight, even if that means a temporary cover to hold it until the weather clears for a full repair.
You reach a real Dublin roofer, not a call centre, and every emergency is handled by the same family that has looked after roofs here for over 35 years. We are fully insured, our work is guaranteed for 20 years, and we are rated 5.0 on Google by the homeowners and businesses we have helped.
When a Roof Problem Becomes a Roofing Emergency
Some roof faults can wait a week for a booking, and some cannot. These are the signs that a problem has turned into an emergency and needs a roofer out fast, before the water finds its way further into the house.
Water Coming Through a Ceiling
Once water is dripping from a ceiling or running down a wall inside, the roof is already letting go and every hour adds to the damage. Catch what you can in a basin, move anything valuable clear, and get a roofer out to trace it back to source and stop it. Our guide on what to do when your roof is leaking is a useful first step.
Storm Has Lifted or Stripped Slates
High winds across Dublin regularly lift or peel slates and tiles off, leaving the felt and timber underneath exposed to the next shower. A stripped patch rarely stays small, so it needs covering and repairing before more of the roof goes with it.
Flashing or Lead Has Let Go
The lead around chimneys, valleys and abutments is where a lot of leaks start. When a length of flashing lifts or splits in heavy rain, water runs straight in behind it, and it usually needs sealing or replacing quickly to make the roof watertight again.
A Valley or Gutter Is Overflowing
A blocked valley or gutter in a downpour sends water back up under the slates and over the fascia instead of away from the house. In a storm this can flood a roof space fast, so clearing and checking it is an urgent job, not a spring one.
Part of the Roof Is Sagging
A dip or sag in the roofline, or a ceiling starting to bow below, can mean water has been getting into the timbers for a while and they are giving way. This one should never wait, as it moves from a repair towards a structural problem the longer it sits.
A Flat Roof Has Split or Is Ponding
Felt, fibreglass and rubber flat roofs split and blister with age, and a split that opens in wet weather leaks straight through. Standing water that will not drain is a warning the covering is failing and needs making safe before it comes through the ceiling below.

How Fast Can You Get a Roofer Out in Dublin?
How fast we can reach you depends on the time, the weather and where you are, but a live leak or storm damage is always treated as urgent, and we get to Dublin homes as quickly as we can, often the same day. The first priority on arrival is to stop the water and make the roof safe, so the damage stops getting worse while we sort the full repair.
The quickest way to reach us in an emergency is by phone. Call 087 037 6239 and you will get through to a real roofer who can talk you through making things safe in the moment, then arrange to get out to you.

How Our Emergency Roof Repair Callout Works
An emergency should be simple to deal with when you are already stressed, so we keep the callout clear from the first phone call to the finished repair.
You Call and We Talk You Through It
Ring us and tell us what you are seeing and where. If a leak is live we treat it as urgent, and we will talk you through anything you can do safely in the moment to limit the damage while we are on the way.
We Get Out and Make the Roof Safe
The first visit is about stopping the water. We find where it is getting in, make the roof watertight, and put a temporary cover over anything that cannot be repaired on the spot in bad weather.
You Get a Clear Price for the Full Repair
Once the roof is safe, we look at what caused the problem and give you a written price for the permanent repair before any further work goes ahead, so there are no surprises.
We Carry Out the Permanent Repair
When conditions allow, we come back and do the lasting repair properly, matching slates and materials to the existing roof so it looks right and holds for the long term.
We Leave It Tidy and Guaranteed
We clear up after ourselves, take the old materials away, and our work is guaranteed for 20 years, so once it is fixed you can stop thinking about it.
What Emergency Roof Repairs Cost in Dublin
Emergency roof repair prices in Dublin depend on the fault, how much of the roof is involved and how easy it is to reach, so the honest answer is that a price comes after we have seen it. A few things move the number more than others.
How Serious the Damage Is
Making safe a single slipped slate is a small job next to storm damage across a whole elevation or a long-running leak that has soaked into the timbers. The more of the roof involved, the more time and materials the repair takes.
Whether It Is a Make-Safe or a Full Repair
A temporary make-safe to stop the water is usually quick and low cost. The permanent repair that follows is priced separately, once we can see exactly what needs doing in daylight and dry conditions.
How Easy the Roof Is to Reach
A two-storey Dublin terrace, a steep cut roof or a high chimney needs more access equipment and care than a low single-storey extension, and access is one of the biggest things that moves the price on any roof job.
The Materials the Roof Needs
Matching natural slate, clay tiles or lead costs more than a straightforward concrete tile, and sourcing a match for an older Dublin roof takes a little longer. We always price the right material for the roof, not the cheapest patch that fails again.
For a clearer idea of roofing prices before you ring, our guide to roof repair costs in Dublin sets out the typical ranges, and every emergency job still comes with a written price before we start.
We Publish Our Roofing Prices
Most roofers make you chase a number. We put honest guide prices for roof repairs, flat roofs and full re-roofs right on the site, so you can budget before you ever pick up the phone. Every job still gets a free inspection and a written quote, with no pressure to go ahead.
Emergency Roofers Covering Every Part of Dublin
We cover emergency roof repairs right across Dublin, from the city centre and the older terraces of Rathmines, Ranelagh and Drumcondra to the coastal homes of Clontarf, Howth and Malahide that take the full force of a storm off the sea. Wherever you are, a live leak gets the same fast response.
The kind of emergency changes with the roof. The exposed north Dublin coast and the estates out west see the most storm and wind damage, lifting slates and stripping ridges. The period red-brick streets of south Dublin bring valley, parapet and lead problems, where a blocked valley or failed flashing floods a roof in heavy rain. We know the Dublin housing stock because we have worked on it for over 35 years.
You can see the full list of areas we cover on our Dublin roofing areas page. If you are not sure whether you are in our patch, ring us and ask, because for emergency roof repairs in Dublin we cover the whole county and its surrounding commuter towns.
