A full roof replacement is one of the most important investments you can make in your Dublin home. If your current roof is over 40 years old, suffering from widespread damp, or has continuous repair needs, the time for patching is over.
At Capital Roofers, we specialise in complete roof replacements in Dublin, using only premium materials and modern, weather-proof installation techniques. We provide a tailored, start-to-finish service, ensuring your new roof is not just beautiful, but structurally sound, fully insulated, and guaranteed to protect your property for decades.

While we always try to save your roof with expert repairs, sometimes the damage or age makes a full replacement the most economical choice.
Look for these signs that your roof has reached the end of its useful life:
Widespread Damage: If more than 30% of your slates or tiles are cracked, missing, or compromised, a full replacement is more cost-effective than continuous repairs.
Decaying Structure: Visible rot or deflection (sagging) in the roof timbers, decking, or rafters, indicating chronic water penetration.
Gravel/Granules in Gutters: For older tile or asphalt roofs, this means the protective surface is washing away, exposing the underlayer to UV and rapid deterioration.
Recurring Leaks: Leaks that reappear despite multiple repairs often indicate that the underlying roof felt/underlayment has failed across the entire roof.
High Energy Bills: An old roof often lacks modern insulation or proper ventilation, leading to significant heat loss and higher heating costs.
We manage the entire re-roofing project with minimal disruption to your home.
Detailed Assessment & Quote: We conduct a comprehensive structural inspection, discuss your material options (slate, tile, flat roofing, etc.), and provide a clear, fixed-price, written quote.
Safe Site Setup: We manage all necessary logistics, including scaffolding erection, material delivery, and safe waste removal.
Complete Strip-Down: The old roof covering, underlay, and rotten battens are safely removed down to the structural rafters.
Structural Integrity Check: We repair or replace any compromised roof timbers (rafters, purlins, valleys) to ensure a perfectly sound structure.
Modern Installation: We install new breathable underlayment, treated battens, your chosen roofing material, and new lead flashing and dry-fix systems.
Guaranteed Finish: We complete a thorough quality check and issue your long-term workmanship guarantee.

The cost is highly variable, but for a standard semi-detached Dublin home, you can typically expect a full, professional re-roof to cost between €7,000 and €15,000. The final price depends on:
Size and Pitch: Larger or complex roofs (dormers, valleys) cost more.
Material Choice: Natural slate is more expensive than concrete tiles or fibre cement.
Structural Work: If rafters or decking require extensive repair due to rot, the cost will increase.
We provide a fixed, transparent quote after a thorough inspection, guaranteeing no hidden charges.
For a standard pitched roof on an average Dublin house, the work usually takes between 5 to 10 working days. This timeline can be influenced by two main factors:
Weather: We must stop work if heavy rain or strong winds pose a risk to safety or quality.
Structural Integrity: Discovering unexpected rot in the rafters requires extra time for timber treatment and structural repair.
We strive to maintain a watertight seal overnight and communicate any scheduling changes immediately.
No, in most cases, you will not need to move out. The vast majority of the work is external. We take extensive measures to minimise disruption, noise, and dust. We ensure the roof is made fully watertight every evening to protect your home from overnight rain. We manage all noise and debris safely on the outside of the property.
We offer a dual guarantee package:
Materials Guarantee: We use certified, high-quality materials that come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, typically ranging from 25 to 50 years.
Workmanship Guarantee: Capital Roofers provides a written, long-term guarantee (often 10 to 25 years) on the quality of our installation and labour, ensuring the roof remains watertight.
This combined guarantee gives you complete confidence in your investment.
Yes, we handle the entire logistics process. The quoted price includes the safe erection, rental, and dismantling of all necessary scaffolding and safety equipment. If a permit is required for pavement/road occupation for the scaffold (common in Dublin city centre areas), we will advise you on the necessary steps.
