Flat Roofing in Dublin
Flat roof repairs, coatings and full replacements on Dublin extensions, dormers, garages and porches. Modern systems laid with proper falls and detailing so water goes where it should.
Nearly every leaking flat roof we are called to in Dublin fails for one of three reasons: there is no real fall so water sits and ponds, the upstands and abutments were never detailed properly, or an old felt roof has simply reached the end of its life and split.
Rear extensions are the classic. Thousands of Dublin homes have a kitchen extension with a felt roof laid decades ago, and the first sign of trouble is a stain along the join between the extension and the original house. That join — the abutment — is usually the culprit, not the middle of the roof.
Depending on what we find, the answer is a targeted repair, a liquid waterproof coating over a sound deck, or a full strip and replacement. We will tell you which one your roof actually needs and roughly how long each option should last, rather than defaulting to the most expensive one.
Typical flat roof problems we sort out
- Water pooling on the roof days after the rain stops
- Blistering, cracking or splitting in old felt
- Staining where an extension meets the original house wall
- Damp along the top of a dormer or around a rooflight
- Moss and debris blocking the outlet
- A garage or porch roof that has never been touched since it was built

What's involved
What Our Flat Roofing Work Includes
Correct falls
Firrings set so water runs to the outlet instead of sitting in the middle of the roof.
Modern systems
Liquid-applied and single-ply systems that outlast the old torch-on felt they replace.
Upstands & abutments
The joins to walls, parapets and doors detailed properly — that is where most flat roofs fail.
Outlets & gutters
Outlets, gullies and rainwater goods cleared or renewed so the roof can actually drain.
Insulation
Warm-roof build-ups where the space below is habitable, to avoid condensation problems.

Questions
Flat Roofing in Dublin — Common Questions
- Old torch-on felt roofs commonly start giving trouble after fifteen to twenty years, and sooner if the falls are poor. Modern liquid-applied and single-ply systems, laid on a sound deck with proper falls, are designed to last considerably longer. Detailing and drainage matter more than the headline material.
