At Capital Roofers, we specialise in professional slate roof repairs in Dublin that stand the test of time. Slate roofs are one of the most durable and elegant roofing options, but even the toughest materials can suffer from Ireland’s unpredictable weather. Over time, frost, wind and age can cause slates to crack, slip or break — leaving your home exposed to leaks and damp.
Our skilled roofers are experienced in working with both natural and fibre-cement slates, providing expert repairs and full roof restorations that match the original appearance of your home. Whether you’ve got a few missing slates or need a full re-slating job, we’ll restore your roof to perfect condition using the highest quality materials and workmanship.
A few loose or cracked slates might not seem like much, but they can quickly allow water to seep into your roof space, damaging insulation, timber beams and ceilings. Acting fast saves you money, stress and future repairs.
Cracked or loose roof tiles might seem like a small issue, but they can quickly turn into a serious problem if left untreated. A single damaged tile can let water seep into the roof structure, leading to rot, mould, and costly repairs down the line.
If you’ve noticed water stains on your ceiling or damp patches in your attic, it’s often a sign that your roof tiles or flashing have failed. These leaks may start small but can rapidly cause insulation damage, timber rot, and interior mould.
We take pride in repairing slate roofs the right way — no shortcuts, no temporary fixes. Our Dublin-based team will carry out a full inspection to identify loose, cracked or missing slates and check for any underlying damage to the battens, felt or flashing. Once we know what’s needed, we’ll give you a clear, written estimate before any work begins.
We repair and replace all types of slate roofing, including traditional natural slate, fibre cement, and decorative patterns often found on period homes across Dublin. Every repair is designed to blend seamlessly with your existing roof, preserving both the look and integrity of your property.
Common slate roof issues we fix include:
Slipped or missing slates
Broken or cracked slates
Leaks around chimneys and flashing
Storm or wind damage
Damaged ridge tiles and cappings
Structural wear and ageing roofs
With Capital Roofers, you’re getting more than just a patch job — you’re getting a lasting repair that protects your home from Dublin’s rain, wind, and frost for years to come.
The cost is highly variable, depending on the number of slates needing replacement, the roof height, and the type of slate required (e.g., natural Spanish slate vs. fibre cement slate). A simple repair involving replacing one or two slipped slates is significantly cheaper than a large section replacement. Capital Roofers always provides a free, written estimate after a full on-site inspection. We guarantee transparent pricing with no hidden charges, ensuring you know the exact cost before any work begins.
We treat slipped or leaking slates as an emergency, as the water ingress can cause immediate damage to your home’s underlay and structural timbers. We aim for a same-day response anywhere in Dublin for urgent slate repairs. Our vans are stocked with common slate profiles so we can often secure the area or complete the repair on our first visit to protect your property immediately.
Yes, matching slates—especially on older Dublin period homes—is a specialty of ours. Natural slate has variations in texture and colour that are difficult to match with new material. We have established relationships with local suppliers to source high-quality new slates that offer the closest possible match, and in some cases, we can use reclaimed slates to ensure the repair is completely seamless and maintains the aesthetic integrity of your roof.
This is the most critical question. Generally, if the damage is concentrated in one area (e.g., storm damage or isolated cracking), a repair is sufficient. However, if your roof is experiencing widespread issues like "nail sickness" (where the fixing nails corrode and the slates slide off), or if the underlying felt and batten system is decaying, the roof has reached the end of its lifespan. Our free inspection will give you an honest appraisal, detailing the percentage of damage and providing clear, cost-effective options for both repair and replacement.
Absolutely. We only use high-grade, durable materials. When replacing slates, we often use copper or stainless steel nails which are highly resistant to corrosion and "nail sickness." For temporary or complex fixes, we employ modern, professional techniques and materials that are designed to withstand Dublin’s specific climate (high moisture, strong winds, and frost cycles).
