A leak over a bedroom, tiles moved after high winds or an ageing flat roof can quickly become more than a small inconvenience. Higgins Roofing Solutions provides practical roofing services throughout Dublin for homeowners, landlords and commercial property owners, from individual repairs to complete roof replacement.
Roof problems have a habit of showing up somewhere other than where they started. Water can enter beside damaged flashing, travel along a timber or membrane and finally leave a damp patch several feet away. Replacing the first tile above the stain is not always the answer.
That is why our approach begins with an inspection. We look at the roof covering, ridges, valleys, flashings, chimney junctions, vents, gutters and other likely entry points before recommending the repair. On an older roof, we also consider the general condition of the surrounding area rather than treating one obvious defect in isolation.
Higgins Roofing Solutions carries out roofing work across Dublin for terraced and semi-detached houses, detached homes, rental properties, extensions, garages and commercial buildings. Jobs range from replacing a handful of damaged slates to flat roof work, chimney repairs, guttering and complete new roofs.
You will be told what we have found and what work is proposed before the job begins. If a repair is sufficient, there is little sense in turning it into a replacement. Equally, if an old roof has reached the point where repeated patching is becoming poor value, we will explain the options clearly.
Some customers call us because water has appeared overnight. Others are planning work on a roof that has been deteriorating for several years. We handle both repair work and larger roofing projects.
Leaks, slipped slates, cracked tiles, damaged ridge sections and failed flashing can all leave a roof exposed. We trace the likely source and repair the affected part of the roof instead of simply covering the visible symptom.
Roof Repair Services →Flat roofs need a sound waterproof surface and correct detailing around edges, outlets and adjoining walls. We repair leaking flat roofs and install replacement systems for extensions, garages, commercial units and other properties.
Flat Roofing Services →A chimney can let water into an otherwise sound roof when flashing, pointing, render, caps or masonry begin to fail. We inspect the junction between the chimney and roof as well as the condition of the chimney itself.
Chimney Repair Services →Loose brackets, leaking joints and damaged downpipes can leave rainwater running across walls instead of safely into the drainage system. We repair problem sections and replace guttering where deterioration has gone too far.
Gutter Repair Services →If an existing roof has reached the end of its practical life, we can replace it rather than continuing with short-term repairs. The work is planned around the property, roof structure, drainage, ventilation and chosen covering.
New Roof Services →Strong winds can move tiles and slates, loosen ridge sections, damage flashing and expose weak areas that had not previously caused trouble. If your roof changes after bad weather, it is worth having the affected area checked.
Call About Roof Damage →A roof does not need to have a large hole before water becomes a problem. One displaced slate or a narrow break in flashing can allow rain to reach the layers beneath the visible roof covering.
Once inside, moisture may affect insulation, plasterboard, ceilings, timber or internal finishes. The leak may only appear during heavy rain or when the wind comes from one particular direction, which is why intermittent leaks should not automatically be dismissed as minor.
We carry out roof repairs in Dublin for common faults including:
If you can see a problem from ground level, leave the climbing to a roofer. Wet roofs, loose coverings and ladders are not a good combination, particularly after a storm.
Discuss Your Roof ProblemRoofing work is easier to deal with when you know what is happening. We keep the process straightforward from the first conversation onwards.
Call or send an enquiry with your Dublin location and a short description of what you have noticed.
The affected area is examined to establish the likely cause and the extent of any visible damage.
We explain the proposed work and provide a quotation before the agreed roofing job begins.
Repairs or installation work is completed and the work area is left tidy once the job is finished.
Good roofing work is not just about getting onto the roof quickly. The important part is knowing what needs to be repaired, doing the agreed work properly and leaving the customer clear on what has actually been done.

Check AvailabilityDublin has no single type of property, and roofing work changes considerably from one building to another. An older terraced house may have a pitched slate roof, chimney stacks shared with adjoining properties and leadwork that has been repaired several times over the years. A more recent extension might have a completely different flat roof system only a few metres away.
On rental properties, landlords often need a definite answer about the cause of a leak so that interior repairs can be planned. Commercial properties may have larger flat roof areas, different access requirements and a need to schedule work around the operation of the premises.
For this reason, we do not approach every roofing enquiry as the same job. The condition of the roof, its age, the location of the fault and the type of covering all influence what should happen next.
One of the first questions customers understandably ask is whether the roof can simply be repaired. Often it can. A localised flashing fault, a limited number of damaged tiles or a small defective section may not justify replacing an otherwise serviceable roof.
The situation changes when faults are widespread, the covering has become brittle, the underlay is deteriorating or old repairs are beginning to fail one after another. At that stage, spending money on repeated small jobs can become less economical.
An inspection helps establish which situation you are dealing with. We can then discuss repair or replacement based on the condition of the roof rather than guesswork.
Rain alone is not always what exposes a roofing fault. Wind can push water underneath a vulnerable edge or around flashing that appears watertight during calmer weather. This is why some customers notice a leak during one storm and then see nothing during several days of ordinary rainfall.
Gutters also have to move a considerable amount of water during heavy downpours. A sagging section, blocked outlet or leaking connection can allow water to run back towards fascia boards and walls.
If something looks different after severe weather, such as a tile out of position, debris in the garden or staining indoors, arranging an inspection can help catch the problem before the next period of rain.
