Salt and wind erosion
Ridge and hip mortar washes and weathers out faster on the coast, leaving tiles loose and rocking.

Roofers in Wicklow
Roof repairs, re-roofs and flat roofing across north and coastal Wicklow — Bray, Greystones, Delgany, Kilcoole, Enniskerry and Wicklow Town.
Wicklow is the most weather-beaten patch we work in. Onshore wind off the Irish Sea carries salt, and salt does slow, steady damage — it eats mortar out of ridges, corrodes older nails and fixings, and lifts lead that would sit happily on a sheltered inland roof for decades.
The county also has two quite different sorts of roof. Older seafront and town terraces in Bray and Wicklow Town, typically natural slate with lead valleys and sometimes hidden parapet gutters. And modern estate housing in Greystones, Delgany and Kilcoole in concrete or clay tile, where the weak points are the exposed edges.
Whichever you have, the specification matters more here than almost anywhere else we work. Fixings, ridge and verge details and mortar work all need to be chosen for exposure, not copied from a sheltered estate roof.

Local knowledge
Roofing Problems We See Most In Wicklow
Different housing stock fails in different ways. This is what tends to go wrong on Wicklow roofs.
Nail sickness in older slate
The slates are still good but the fixings have corroded, so slates slip after every serious blow.
Lifted flashings
Lead around chimneys and abutments works loose in repeated high wind and lets water track in.
Hidden parapet gutters
Older Bray and Wicklow Town terraces have concealed gutters that block and back up under the slate.
Wind-driven rain into flat roofs
Horizontal rain gets in at upstands, edge trims and rooflight kerbs on extension and dormer roofs.
Exposed inland sites
Higher ground around Enniskerry gets driving rain and wind that finds any weak detail on a roof.

Reviews
What Our Customers Say
Feedback from homeowners around Dublin, Wicklow and Kildare.
“Had water coming in around the chimney for months. Mikey came out the next morning, showed me photos of the flashing and had it sorted in a day. No fuss, no big bill.”
“Full re-roof on a 1930s house. The lads were on time every morning, kept the garden clean and the finish is spot on. Would have them back.”
“Three quotes and Mikey's was the only one that explained what we were actually paying for. Honest to deal with from start to finish.”
