Flat Roofs on Rathmines's Period Houses and Flats

Behind the tall Victorian fronts of Rathmines, many houses have flat-roofed rear returns, bathroom extensions and dormers added over the years, often when the house was split into flats. These roofs take a lot of rain, are easy to forget about from the front, and tend to leak into a tenant's bathroom or kitchen before anyone notices.

Some flat roofs only need a repair to a split or a joint. Others have reached the point where the boards underneath are rotten and the covering has failed in several places. We look at the roof and the rooms below, explain which it needs, and put the price in writing.

For landlords, a clear written quote makes it easier to plan the work around tenants and other owners.

Flat Roof Repairs in Rathmines

On a rear return or bathroom extension, a single failed joint or a split in the covering can let in enough water to bring down a ceiling. Where the rest of the roof is sound, we repair the fault rather than replace the whole roof. We find the point where water is getting in first, because on these older houses it is often at the upstand where the flat roof meets the main wall. If the deck has gone soft, we will say so and quote for a replacement instead.

Flat Roof Replacement in Rathmines

When a flat roof on a Rathmines house has failed across its surface, we strip it to the joists, renew any rotten boards, build in a proper fall, and lay a new felt, EPDM or GRP covering finished at every edge.

Types of Flat Roofs

Choose the Type of Flat Roof You Need

Felt is a sensible choice for a straightforward rear return on a budget. EPDM rubber goes down in one sheet and suits plain shapes. GRP fibreglass is moulded on the roof and copes well with dormers, small roofs boxed in by walls and roofs with lots of detail.

Garage Roofs in Rathmines

A few houses in Rathmines have a garage or a store opening onto a rear lane, nearly always with a flat roof. We replace these in felt, EPDM or GRP on a new deck laid to a fall, or re-cover a pitched garage roof with underlay, battens and tiles or slate. Older corrugated sheets can be replaced as well, once they have been checked by the right people, because some contain asbestos.

Pricing

What Affects Your Flat Roof Quote?

We price each flat roof in Rathmines after seeing it. These four factors matter most.

Factor 01

Size & Shape

A small roof boxed in by walls has more upstands to finish than a simple open rectangle.

Factor 02

Condition of the Deck

If boards or joists under the old covering are rotten, they are replaced first.

Factor 03

Covering You Choose

Felt, rubber and fibreglass differ in material and labour costs.

Factor 04

Rooflights & Access

Getting materials up to a rear return on a tall house, or fitting a rooflight or extra outlet, adds to the job.

FAQs

Your Flat Roof Questions Answered

Can you repair a flat roof over a tenant's bathroom?

Yes. If the fault is in one place and the rest of the roof is sound, we repair it. If the deck has failed, we will explain why a replacement is the better option.

Do you work for landlords and management companies?

We do. We work on rental property and flat conversions, and our written quotes list the work and materials so they are easy to share with other owners.

Which covering lasts best on a rear return?

It depends on the shape and detail of the roof. We explain how felt, EPDM and GRP would each work on yours and recommend one after seeing it.

How long will a flat roof replacement take?

A small rear return roof is often a short job, while a bigger roof with deck repairs takes longer. Dry weather is needed for most coverings.
