Roofing questions.
Straight answers.

Keep people away from the affected area, move belongings only if it is safe, and catch drips without standing beneath a bulging ceiling. Do not climb onto the roof or touch wet electrical fittings. Call 087 466 6010 and explain where water is entering, your location and any visible damage. We answer emergency roofing enquiries 24/7; the team will advise on the next step and safe access.

We answer emergency roofing enquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A callback and a site visit are different things: attendance depends on your location, weather, workload and whether access is safe. Explain if water is entering now or material is loose, so the team can assess the urgency. Do not assume an arrival time until it has been agreed.

Not necessarily. Water can travel along the roof structure before appearing indoors. A stain near a chimney or wall is useful information, but the cause may be elsewhere. Tell us when it appears, whether it gets worse in wind-driven rain, and whether it has happened before. An inspection is needed before recommending the repair.

If it is safe, take photos from ground level and record when the damage appeared. Note water entering, displaced slates or tiles and affected rooms. Do not climb onto the roof to collect evidence. We can document storm and water damage with photos and a written report for your insurer; cover and claim decisions remain with the insurer.

Vantage Roof Repairs offers a free, no-obligation roof inspection and written quote. There is no payment to request a quote, and requesting one does not commit you to the work. Confirm the scope of the proposed visit with the team, particularly if you need a specialist report or separate work beyond the inspection.

The price depends on the cause of the problem, the roof area affected, materials, access and any work needed underneath the covering. A small local repair and a full replacement are very different jobs. We inspect first and explain the proposed work in a written quote, rather than giving a fixed price without seeing the roof.

Look for a clear description of the work, the materials proposed, access arrangements, waste removal, the price and warranty terms. Ask what is included and what would happen if hidden damage is discovered. Comparing the scope, not just the final figure, helps you compare like for like.

Yes. Choose ‘Need expert guidance’ in the guided quote request. A budget range helps the team understand your plans; it is not an agreed price. We will assess the roof and discuss appropriate options before you decide.

Have your name, phone number, email, Eircode and property address ready. The guided request also asks about the service, property, timing and budget so the team can prepare. Extra notes about the roof issue are optional. Useful details include where you have noticed a problem, when it started and whether it is getting worse.

You will see a confirmation when the request has been successfully sent. Our team will contact you within 15 minutes to discuss the roof and agree the appropriate next step. This is a contact promise, not a guaranteed arrival time. For an active leak or immediate safety concern, call 087 466 6010 rather than waiting on the form.

A few damaged tiles, slipped slates or a local flashing problem may be repairable. Recurring leaks, widespread wear or failure beneath the covering can require more extensive work. We assess the roof before discussing repair and replacement options, so you understand why a particular approach is being recommended.

The original repair may not have addressed the cause, or another vulnerable detail may be allowing water in. Coverings, underlay, flashings, junctions and ventilation can all need assessment. Explain what was previously repaired and whether the leak returns in particular conditions. Repeated leaks do not automatically mean the entire roof must be replaced.

Material choice depends on the roof design, the existing structure, appearance and suitable installation details. Natural slate, for example, may cost more and requires a structure suited to the chosen material. We explain appropriate options after inspection. Protected buildings or conservation settings may have additional requirements that should be checked before a change.

Overflowing or leaking gutters can cause water problems around the roof edge and walls, while a roof leak may show farther indoors. Tell us where you see water and what happens during rain. We offer gutter, fascia and soffit work as well as roofing, and can discuss which part of the property needs assessment.

Often, yes. A few broken or slipped slates may only need a local repair. Recurring leaks, widespread deterioration or problems underneath the slates may need a bigger solution. Our free inspection helps identify what is appropriate before you commit.

The price depends on roof area, access, slate choice and the condition of the structure and flashing. We provide a free, no-obligation inspection and written quote so you can compare the proposed work and price before agreeing to it.

We discuss the appearance and availability of suitable slate, including matching existing material where practical. Shared roof lines and adjoining properties need careful detailing. If your home is protected or in a conservation area, check any applicable requirements before agreeing to a material change.

We plan safe access, protect adjoining properties and remove old materials carefully. Weatherproofing, waste removal and a final walkthrough are part of the agreed work. We explain the plan before work begins.

Vantage Roof Repairs provides a workmanship warranty on every job, alongside applicable manufacturer cover for the materials fitted. Ask for the terms for your proposed slate system when reviewing the written quote.

Yes. We answer emergency roofing enquiries 24 hours a day, seven days a week across Leinster. Call 087 466 6010 for an active leak or immediate concern. Attendance depends on the location, conditions and safe access; the team will advise you when you contact us.

A localised leak or damaged tile may be repairable. Widespread wear, failing underlay or recurring leaks can make replacement more appropriate. We inspect the roof first and explain the options, rather than assuming a full re-roof is necessary.

Roof area, access, material choice and repairs to the underlying structure all affect cost. Ventilation and flashing requirements matter too. Your free inspection leads to a written quote with the proposed scope, so you know what you are agreeing to.

A re-roof gives us the opportunity to assess the existing underlay and ventilation. We explain appropriate improvements for the property as part of the proposed system. Any additional work and its cost should be agreed before it proceeds.

Timing depends on the roof size, access, weather and the amount of work underneath the covering. We discuss a realistic schedule after inspection and explain the temporary weather protection plan. We do not quote a fixed duration before assessing the property.

Careful removal, waste clearance and a final walkthrough are part of our roofing process. We explain site protection and access before starting, then check the completed work and leave the site clean.

Every job carries a workmanship warranty, alongside applicable manufacturer material cover. Request the specific terms with your quote. We answer emergency roofing enquiries 24/7 across Leinster; call 087 466 6010 if water is entering now.

We serve homes and businesses throughout Leinster: Dublin, Kildare, Meath, Wicklow, Louth, Wexford, Carlow, Kilkenny, Laois, Offaly, Westmeath and Longford. Include your Eircode and address so the team can discuss access and arrangements for your property.

The schedule depends on the scale of the work, access, weather and the condition of the roof beneath its covering. After inspection, discuss the expected sequence and temporary weather protection with the team. A realistic schedule should reflect your property; a fixed duration cannot be promised before assessment.

Our process includes planning access, protecting the property, carefully removing old materials and clearing waste. The final walkthrough is an opportunity to review the finished work. Discuss adjoining properties, entrances, gardens and any particular access concerns before work starts.

Some underlying problems only become visible once materials are lifted. Before agreeing to work, ask how any additional findings will be explained and priced. Make sure you understand the proposed change and its effect on the scope and schedule before authorising extra work.

Vantage Roof Repairs provides a workmanship warranty on every job, alongside applicable manufacturer cover for fitted materials. These are different forms of cover. Request the specific written terms, duration, exclusions and aftercare advice for your proposed job when reviewing the quote; do not assume every roofing system has identical terms.

Yes. We offer residential and commercial roof repair, replacement, new installation and inspections. For an extension, new build or commercial property, describe the building, planned work and any access or occupancy restrictions in your request so the team can discuss the appropriate assessment.
