📍 Phibsborough, Dublin 7, Ireland
See all areas we cover in Dublin NorthPhibsborough grew fast between 1880 and 1910, producing the dense redbrick terraces that still define the area. These three and four-storey terraces have steep natural slate roofs with shared chimney stacks running between properties. When one property needs ridge, flashing, or chimney work, it's often a shared job across the whole terrace.
Phibsborough's dense terrace stock generates frequent shared chimney repairs. The party stacks between properties concentrate several households' worth of chimney maintenance into a single stack. Ridge mortar failure, slate slip, and lead valley deterioration on the steep-pitched Victorian roofs are the other main call-out types. Rear flat-roof outshots at ground floor level are also a regular EPDM replacement job.
When you search for roofers near me in Phibsborough, you need a team with a track record in the area — not a national call centre that subcontracts locally. Recommended Roofing's Dublin North team has direct knowledge of the housing stock, local planning requirements, and typical roofing problems across Phibsborough and the surrounding area. Every survey is carried out in person by a qualified roofer, and every quote is written and fixed-price.
Frequent rain and wind test every roof in Ireland, and older brick terraces show it at the chimneys, ridge and valley gutters. Water gets in at failed pointing, lifted lead and slipped slates, and damp can spread through an attic for a long time before it shows below.
Look from the ground for slipped, cracked or missing tiles or slates and for ridge or verge sections that have moved. Then check the attic on the next wet day for daylight or damp patches. Flat roofs over garages and extensions should be checked for pooled water and lifting edges, and gutters cleared so they do not overflow.
Once a year, ideally in autumn, and again after any severe storm. On older terraced roofs the chimneys, lead flashings and valleys deserve the closest look, as they usually fail before the slates do.
Phibsborough is mostly older housing. The area developed in the early 19th century around the Royal Canal harbour at Broadstone and grew further with the arrival of the Midland Great Western Railway. Today it has Victorian and Edwardian terraces, some larger houses converted into flats from the post-war years, and newer flats and townhouses added in the Celtic Tiger period.
We have not been able to confirm a conservation area covering Phibsborough, so do not assume either way. Several older buildings in the area are of historic interest, and some may be Protected Structures. Check Dublin City Council's development plan maps and Record of Protected Structures for your street before work starts, as changing the visible look of a roof can need planning permission in those cases.
That depends on what the house has now and whether it is protected. Older brick terraces are usually natural slate and are often best repaired or re-laid in slate. Newer flats and townhouses more often have tile or flat-roof sections. The survey decides, and the written quote shows the options where more than one is allowed.
