Emergency roofer in Rathfarnham, on call day and night

24/7 roof repair across D14 and D16, trusted since 2019

When a roof fails in Rathfarnham it rarely waits for office hours. A slate lifts in a Dublin Mountains gale, a chimney flashing peels back, or a flat-roof extension starts dripping into the kitchen at two in the morning.

We answer our emergency line around the clock and get a directly employed roofer to you fast. We cover the full spread of Rathfarnham housing, from the 1930s to 1980s semi-detached estates and the Victorian terraces near the village to the flat-roof rear extensions added over the years.

What to do right now if your roof is leaking

First, keep everyone safe. Move furniture and electricals clear of the drip, put a bucket under it, and if water is pooling on a ceiling, pierce a small hole to let it drain rather than letting the whole ceiling come down.

Then call us. Do not climb up in wind or rain to fix it yourself, that is how people get hurt. Note where the water is coming in, and we will talk you through holding it until we arrive.

Why Rathfarnham roofs fail in a storm

Rathfarnham sits higher and more exposed than the coastal suburbs, right up towards the Dublin Mountains. That means heavy wind loading on ridges and verges, driving rain, and the kind of gusts that strip slates and lift flashing.

The emergencies we see most here are storm-blown slates and ridge tiles, torn lead flashing around chimneys, and leaking felt on older flat-roof extensions. We weatherproof the damage on arrival so no more water gets in, then quote the permanent fix in writing.

Emergency call-out cost in Rathfarnham, 2026

Our emergency call-out is €200 to €600 depending on the time, the access and the make-safe work needed. Here is the key part: that call-out is credited in full against the permanent repair when you go ahead with us.

  • Emergency call-out and make-safe (credited against repair)€200–€600
  • Minor permanent repair (slipped slates, small leaks)€300–€800
  • Ridge, flashing and chimney repairs€600–€1,500

Common Questions

Questions about emergency roof repair
in Rathfarnham.

How fast can you reach Rathfarnham for an emergency?

We aim to get a roofer to Rathfarnham as quickly as possible, and because we run a dedicated South Dublin crew across D14 and D16 we are usually close by. Call our 24/7 line and we will give you a realistic arrival time on the spot. In the meantime we will talk you through holding the leak until we get there.

Do you operate 24/7 in South Dublin?

Yes. Our emergency line is answered around the clock, every day of the year, and it is staffed by our own team rather than a call centre. We cover Rathfarnham and the wider South Dublin area, including all of D14 and D16. Storms do not keep office hours, and neither do we.

How much does emergency call-out cost?

An emergency call-out in Rathfarnham costs between €200 and €600 in 2026, depending on the time of day, the access and the make-safe work required. Crucially, that call-out fee is credited in full against the permanent repair when you go ahead with us. You get a written, fixed-price quote for the lasting fix within 48 hours.

What roofing emergencies do you cover?

We handle storm-damaged and slipped slates and ridge tiles, torn or lifted lead flashing, chimney leaks, and leaking flat-roof extensions, along with any active leak letting water into the house. On arrival we make the roof safe and watertight first, then quote the permanent repair. Rathfarnham's exposed position near the Dublin Mountains makes wind and rain damage especially common.

Are you CIRI registered?

Yes, we are registered with the Construction Industry Register Ireland (CIRI), so you can verify us independently before we set foot on your roof. We are also fully insured with €6.5 million public liability cover, and all our roofers are directly employed rather than subcontracted. Every job is backed by a 10-year written guarantee.
