Dublin Flat Roof Repairs – Spot the Problem & Fix it Fast

Leaks in flat roofs can cause extensive damage, if left untreated. It is best to have flat roof repairs carried out as soon as possible. Allowing even the smallest leak to go untreated can lead to water seeping into the insulation and joists. Rot can set in quickly meaning the roof becomes weakened. A small leak is easily fixed if caught early, but over time leakage can lead to a weakened roof and costly repairs.

Flat roofs are covered with a membrane, which waterproofs the roof and allows water to drain away into a gutter.Get A Quote

How Damage is Caused

  • Trees, Moss and Ivy
  • Severe Weather Conditions
  • Existing material can buckle, crack or tear leading to water entering the interior of the roof.

Gutter repair or replace

gutter-maintenance
Roofing Experts specialises in gutter repair in the Dublin area. This includes re-sealing joints, installation, re-securing of down-pipes and cleaning of all types of gutter systems as well as replacement if necessary.

Gutters should be kept free from debris and inspected regularly to prevent water from entering the house as this of course would cause other problems.

Gutters are undeniably an important part of your home structure and so important to make gutter repairs when necessary. They prevent water from getting at your walls, windows, doors and foundation. We recommend cleaning your gutters 1 – 2 times a year, however like anything its effectiveness will expireGet A Quote

Signs that your gutters need to be repaired or replaced

The length of time a gutter will last depends on many varying factors, we have put together some signs to watch out for:

Cracks

Small cracks will turn into big cracks, so it’s better to catch them before they do any serious damage. Leaving small cracks unattended can result in further damage to your gutter as well as your fascia boards, the shingles and the foundation. Don’t let a molehill turn into a mountain.

Peeling paint or orange hue

Unless your gutter is old, peeling paint or a rust colour on your gutter is usually a sign that water is spending too long unmoved in the gutter. This means the gutter isn’t doing its job and it may mean a crack or leak.

Water damage

If you see signs of water damage or water marks beneath your gutter then it may indicate leaks. If this isn’t rectified it can cause damage to your soffit and fascia board.

Puddles around the outside of your home

If you see puddles of water directly around your home and the rest is dry, then gutter repair may be needed. This could potentially lead to foundation damage.

Out of shape gutter

If your gutters have changed shape then it may mean that they are full of water. This is a clear sign to undertake a gutter repair or even replacement immediately.

Leaking Gutter Joints

We can seal your leaking Gutter Joint whether your gutters are PVC, Cast Iron, Alluminium or Copper.Free inspection and quotation.

Attic And Pitch Roof Insulation

Attic Insulation 2
Flat roof and attic insulation is very important. The airtight insulation material installed prevents the exterior air from entering and interior air from escaping. This results in stable comfortable temperatures inside the home regardless of the external conditions.Get A Quote
Basically, as air in the house gets warm, it rises. Without insulation, the warm air will be lost via the roof (and any other non-insulated surface), as cold air enters causing temperatures to drop. Such erratic temperature changes are undesirable and so roof and attic insulation is vital to keep your house warm.

That’s why strategic sections of house are insulated. Walls, floors, crawlspaces, basement, attic or any other spot that can allow air leakage. Of these, the non-insulated flat roof or attic contributes to over 50% heat loss for the entire house.Get A Quote

The benefits of good flat roof or attic insulation

Attic insulation yields tangible result that are beneficial to the residents including:

  • Reduced energy costs
  • Improved comfort levels in the house
  • Reduced demand on heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems increasing their lifespan
  • Sound proofing, enhancing privacy

Get A Quote

Attic insulation materials

There are many insulation materials well suited for attic insulation. Despite having different features, one thing they have in common is excellent insulation capacity. The materials are rated in terms of their thermal resistance i.e. R-value. The higher the R value the better an insulator a material is.View Testimonials

What is Chimney Flashing?

Chimney flashing is a watertight metal sheet that secures the roof and the chimney. If this has lifted or expired then it can cause leaks to seep through the chimney which can cause internal damage to the chimney area such as cracks, dislodged or slipped tiles/slates. This can become very costly to rectify if left unattended.

To ensure that your chimney flashing is still effective an annual check up is recommended. If you are worried that a chimney repair is needed or would like to help prevent this from happening then call us today.

Is flashing hard to install?

The installation of flashing for your chimney repair can be challenging and should only be done by an experienced roofer. Corners can be left vulnerable and even with high quality installation, urethane chaulking should be applied to cement the water-proofing process. If this is done by a professional then, in future, the chaulking may be all that’s needed. If done incorrectly however, it will take more than chaulk.

Chimney repairs and leaks can be difficult to identify but can cause a lot of damage to your roof, attic and ceiling. We suggest having a quick check for signs of leakage from your attic twice a year.

If you have any worries, notice signs of leakage, or would like it inspected by a professional then contact Roofing Experts today.Get A Quote

SLATE AND TILED PITCHED ROOF REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

Copper Valley
The roof valley is the segment where the roof changes direction or where a dormer or bay window is installed. Simply put, it is the portion of the roof where two slopes meet. It is covered by different types of materials. Metals like lead, copper, aluminum and zinc are most commonly used. The choice of roof valley material depends on the type of the roof and the primary roofing material.Get A Quote

The roof valley is a very important part of the roof that determines to a large extent the integrity of the roof. Depending on where it is positioned and the angle, the valley can carry large volumes of water when it rains. Any slight damage could lead to serious leakages.

This calls for accurate installation and so it is best to use the services of a skilled and experienced roofer. Also, roofs should be inspected twice annually. With this, the roof valleys will be maintained in good condition and the integrity of the entire roof preserved.
