Commercial roofing in Dublin.
Shops and offices keep trading while the roof is worked on. So the job is planned around the people inside, and the cause is pinned down before anything is sealed.
Roofs on buildings that are in use
Commercial roofs are mostly flat or low-pitched, large, and sit over people and stock. A leak on one is a business problem: wet goods, a dripping ceiling over customers, a lease that makes someone else responsible. What the property manager needs is a clear cause, a written price and a crew that works with the building rather than against it.
One example: a bad leak at an HSE site in Dublin, a working building that people were using throughout. We had to carry out the investigation around them, trace the source and explain it on site. It taught us what applies to every commercial roof. Speed counts for less than certainty about the cause, because a seal in the wrong place brings you back, and the return visit is where the money goes.
Most of our commercial work is felt, EPDM and GRP flat roofs, plus low-pitch roofs on offices, shops, workshops and units across Dublin. The same principles run through the flat roofs page, applied at greater scale: sound falls, proper upstands, outlets that clear and edge details that hold. We are also a business ourselves, and our head office is on Baggot Street Upper in Dublin 4.
If you manage property and are comparing contractors, our guide to roofing contractors in Dublin sets out what a contractor should be able to show you: insurance, a written price, a named process and a guarantee. On cover and standards: €6.5M public liability, €13M employer liability, work at height per S.I. 318/2007, and membership of the National Guild of Master Craftsmen.
How we approach a commercial roof.
Leak investigation
We trace the entry point before sealing anything and explain the cause on site. A guess is not a repair.
Repair or recover
A sound roof with a local fault is repaired. A roof that is failing across the surface is re-covered in EPDM or GRP.
Planned around the building
We agree access, working hours and safe zones with you so the business can go on.
Lead, edges and outlets
Upstands, parapet detailing, flashings and outlets, where most commercial roofs let go first.
Condition reports
A photographed written record of how the roof stands, handy for landlords, tenants and insurers.
What each price takes in.
The quote is one fixed sum, so the bill at the end matches the paper you signed.
Included in every job
Quoted separately
What this usually costs.
Priced after a survey. Commercial roofs vary too much in size, access and use for a fair guide figure, so we visit, measure and put one fixed price in writing, with the working arrangements agreed first.
From the first look to the handover.
Survey
We visit, check the roof and agree access with the building's manager.
Cause and price
A written cause of the problem and one fixed price.
Work
Done in the hours and zones agreed, with safe working at height.
Report
A written record and the guarantee.
What people ask us.
Do you work on commercial buildings in Dublin?
Yes: shops, offices, workshops, units and public buildings with flat or low-pitch roofs, including a leak investigation at a working HSE facility.
How do you work around a building that is open?
We agree access, working hours and safe zones with the manager first, and plan the work so staff, customers and stock are protected.
What does commercial roofing cost?
It is priced after a survey. Commercial roofs differ too much in size, access and condition to give a guide figure, and you get one fixed price in writing.
Are you insured for commercial work?
Yes: €6.5M public liability and €13M employer liability, with work at height following S.I. 318/2007.
Are you members of a trade body?
We belong to the National Guild of Master Craftsmen. That is membership of the body, nothing more, and it says nothing about any one job.
Can you provide a report for a landlord or insurer?
Yes. The inspection report, written and with photographs, is yours to pass on.
What cover comes with a commercial roof?
Ten years of written cover on the workmanship of repairs and installation. The Lifetime Leak Guarantee is for complete roof replacements, and we state which one covers your job.
Related roofing jobs.
Flat Roofs
Extensions, garages and balcony roofs recovered in EPDM or GRP and laid to a fall, so rain leaves the roof instead of pooling.
Roof Inspections
A written report with photographs, taken on the slope and from inside the attic, so you know what the roof needs and what it does not.
Lead Flashing & Chimneys
New lead where roof meets wall, stack or valley, and the chimney made sound so it stops soaking up rain.
