Roofs in Sutton and Howth
Nowhere in Dublin is harder on a roof than the Howth peninsula, and it is home ground for us: our north side base is at 39 Dublin Road in Sutton. Houses on the hill and along the Sutton and Baldoyle seafront take wind and salt straight off the Irish Sea with nothing to break it. The stock is varied: old cottages and 1930s houses near the harbour and Sutton Cross, larger 1970s and 1980s detached homes up the hill, and 1960s and 1970s semis in Bayside and Sutton Park. Slate roofs on the older houses lose slates as the nails rust through. Tiled roofs lose ridge and verge mortar. Chimney lead lifts, gutters fill with moss and grit, and north-facing slopes stay green all year.
What we do most in Sutton and Howth
Storm repairs are the biggest part of our work here: replacing slates and tiles, re-bedding ridges, re-dressing lead and fixing gutters that have been torn off. Most repairs are done in a single visit once the wind drops. Gutter and moss cleaning is worth doing twice a year on the exposed sites, and because we are so close we take on the small jobs too, from a single slipped slate to a blocked downpipe. When an old slate roof is beyond patching, we re-roof in slate or tile to suit the house, and every job is priced after a free on-site check, with the price agreed before any work starts. Detached homes on the hill are quoted on their actual area and access.
