Roof Repairs We Provide In Meath
We handle almost every type of roof repairs type across county Meath specialising in the following:
Slate Roof Repair Meath
Meath has many older properties with beautiful slate roofing on Victorian terraces, period homes and country properties. Slate is premium but requires specialist knowledge to repair properly. You just can’t use any roofer for slate so get Joe to inspect your slate roof for free.
Fix broken slates, replace slipped tiles, repair flashing around slate roofs, and restore roof integrity while matching existing materials.
- Broken or slipped slates
- Rust through nail damage
- Slate flashing damage
Whether you’re in Navan with Victorian slate or Ashbourne with period slate, we handle it.
Flat Roof Repair & Replacement in Meath
Extensions, garages, and modern builds often have flat roofs. Traditional felt fails constantly in Irish weather. Modern EPDM and GRP systems outlast felt by years. There are a number of reasons why they fail including:
- UV Exposure Damage
- Winter Frosts
- Pooling Water
Traditional felt typically lasts 15-20 years (often fails sooner in Meath’s climate). Modern EPDM and GRP systems last 30-40+ years with proper installation.
We repair failing felt roofs AND upgrade to modern materials. We assess whether patching is sufficient or full replacement is the right choice with open and honest advice, not an upsell.
Lead Flashing Repair Meath
Flashing is where your roof meets chimneys, valleys, skylights and walls. It’s also where leaks start. Failed flashing allows water to penetrate behind your roof covering, causing:
- Damp and mold growth
- Plaster damage inside your home
- Wood rotting in roof structure
- Expensive structural repairs
We specialise in lead flashing repair and replacement across Meath. We understand that proper flashing is the difference between a watertight roof and a leaky one. Common flashing issues we fix:
- Chimney flashing corrosion
- Valley flashing failures
- Flashing around skylights and Velux windows
- Wall abutment flashing issues
- Failed mortar at chimney/flashing interface

Roof Valley Repair Meath
Roof valleys are where two roof slopes meet which is a critical drainage point that’s also a leak vulnerability. When valleys fail, water doesn’t drain properly and seeps into your home. Why roof valleys can cause a problem for Meath homeowners. Valley problems are common on older Meath homes and extensions. We’ve repaired roof valleys in Navan, Ashbourne, Ratoath, and throughout County Meath. Our valley repair solutions:
- Clean & clear debris blocking drainage
- Repair or replace damaged valley material
- Install modern valley systems for better drainage
- Ensure proper slopes for water shedding in Meath's wet climate
We understand that proper valley repair is essential for preventing water penetration into your home especially dyring heavy downfalls of rain like we had this spring in Meath.
Chimney Repairs Meath
Your chimney is a common leak source on Meath properties. Where the chimney meets your roof, failed flashing allows water to run directly into your roof structure. Once inside, water creates hidden damp, rots timber, and leads to expensive structural repairs in your attic.
Beyond flashing, chimneys fail from mortar deterioration, crumbling pointing, and brick spalling. We’ve repaired hundreds of Meath chimneys, from Victorian stacks in Navan to modern extensions in Ashbourne. Common chimney problems we fix include:
- Flashing Failures
- Morter Joint Failure
- Pointing deterioration
- Brick Cracking
We specialise in period properties and understand historic chimney construction. We use proper materials such as lead flashing (not cheap alternatives), lime mortar for pointing (not cement) that breathe correctly and last decades.
