Roofs in Malahide
Malahide sits between the estuary and the open sea, and its roofs live with salt wind for most of the year. The housing is a mix: older houses around the village, large 1970s and 1980s detached homes on the Portmarnock and Kinsealy sides, and 1990s and 2000s estates further out. Roof areas are bigger than the city average, with more hips, valleys and dormers, and that means more places for water to get in. North-facing slopes stay damp and grow moss, which blocks gutters and valleys and works tiles loose. Easterly storms lift ridge tiles and strip lead from chimneys.
What we do most in Malahide
Gutter and moss cleaning is the steady job here, and worth doing every autumn on a coastal house. Roof repairs such as re-bedding ridge tiles, replacing cracked tiles or re-dressing chimney lead are usually done in a single visit. We also do a lot of chimney repointing, because salt and rain eat the mortar joints faster near the sea. When a roof is past repair, we re-roof in tile or slate to suit the house, and every job is priced after a free on-site check, with larger detached homes quoted on their actual area, hips and valleys.
Getting to you
Malahide is about 15 minutes from our Sutton base, up the coast through Baldoyle and Portmarnock. We usually pair Malahide visits with Swords and Portmarnock jobs, so a check is easy to arrange.
