📍 Rathgar, South Dublin, Ireland
See all areas we cover in South DublinRathgar is one of South Dublin's best-preserved Victorian and Edwardian areas — tree-lined roads of solid red-brick semis and detached homes, most built between 1880 and 1920. The original slate roofing has survived well on many of these houses. But pointing, ridge work, and lead flashing around the many chimney stacks are now a priority.
In Rathgar, the most frequent issue is ridge and hip mortar failure on the Victorian and Edwardian semis. Mortar-bedded systems on roofs this age have almost always reached the end of their service life, so they need a dry-ridge upgrade or full re-pointing. Lead valley failures and chimney stack repairs are also common on this period of stock.
