Waterproofing

PARALON 77 3 & 4MM UNDERLAY DITUMEN-POLYMER WATERPROOFING MEMBRANCES

The membranes of the PARALON 77 series are obtained by calendering a compound based on distilled bitumen modified with polyproplenic resins and elastomeric polymers; the reinforcement, integrally synthetic, is a non-woven polyester obtained from a continuous yarn: this gives to the finished product similar mechanical characteristics in both longitudinal and transverse sense.

The use of the PARALON compound suitably modified gives PARALON 77 membranes excellent weathering resistance in any climatic conditions and in exposed membrane systems. However, the PARALON 77 membranes may be painted with either the protective coatings of the ELASTOMUL series (available in various colours) or with PARWENOL 4882 ALLUMINIO. The underside is covered with the TERMOTENE® treatment, for a safer and more economic lay-out.

The PARALON 77 series is produced in two types: PARALON 77 AND PARALON 77 4mm, that are 3 and 4 mm thick respectively; they are supplied in rolls, provided with a cardboard core that ensures their indeformability during the transport and the unrolling on site.

The PARALON 77 MEMBRANES are suitable to general waterproofing works, are particularly recommended for:

• Waterproofing of flat, pitched, vaulted roofs, of both cast in situ and precast concrete, also insulated.
• Waterproofing of gullies and valleys.
• Vertical walls.
• Waterproofing of basement extradoses and underground premises.
• Galleries.
• Underground pipelines and tanks

6 roof maintenance tips for you to do at home

One of the most common and most costly repairs homeowners face is roof repairs. It doesn’t have to be this way though, and with regular roof maintenance, you can avoid having to fork out for expensive repairs. Many homeowners ignore or forget to carry out roof maintenance. It often gets put on the long finger because it’s something you can’t see. We have come up with their top tips and preventative maintenance that you can do to protect your roof and keep it lasting longer.

Regular roof maintenance is the key to looking after your roof and when done it will help you to spot those small, inexpensive problems before they turn into huge jobs.

Roof Maintenance Tips

Ideally, you should carry out roof maintenance twice a year. Before and after winter are the perfect times and whenever there has been particularly bad weather or storms. Here at Roofing Experts, we can carry out a roof inspection for you if you don’t have a head for heights. Below are the things you should be looking for:

1. Cracks or stains: Looks for any signs of deterioration. This can include cracked tiles, stains on your roof, watermarks, and even wet spots. These all tell you that there is something going on that should be looked at. The roof repair will probably be small and inexpensive, but if left it can turn into a more costly job.
2. Cracks in walls: This can indicate a problem your roof and are always worth getting checked out by an expert.
3. Fascia and edging: Make sure your facias are in good condition. Any cracks or breaks can let water in as well as wind. With the amount of rain we get in Ireland, this is not a good thing and if rain gets into the roof membrane it will cause more serious problems.
4. Gutters and downpipes: Your gutters and downpipes should be cleared of any dirt or debris before and after winter. Clogged gutters can lead to big problems and cause water to back up onto your roof.
5. Damp: This maintenance check is down indoors and what you are looking for are any damp patches on your upstairs ceiling or any light getting into your attic between the rafters. This can be a sign of a leak in your roof.
6. Tree branches: If there are tree branches over hanging on your roof you need to make sure you trim these back as heavy winds can cause them to break and damage your roof.

If you spot anything that you are concerned about, or you want an expert roof assessment carried out, you can get in touch with any of our Roofing Contractors Dublin. We are available for emergency roof repairs, roof maintenance, and much more.

It is important to remember that prevention is better than cure and fixing any roof issues while they are small can help ensure you don’t have to empty your bank account to have your roof replaced. Your roof is a valuable investment and you want it to last the years. Annual roof maintenance is essential for this and here at Roofing Experts, our qualified contractors can provide you with a free no obligation quote today.

Guide to Roof Damage Caused by Fallen Trees

Now that winter is on the way and stormy weather becomes more frequent, our Roofer Dublin experts have compiled a guide on what you should do if a tree damages your home during a storm. Your roof is your home’s protection so any damage caused to it should be assessed and repaired immediately. Here at Roofing Experts, we have a number of roof repair services including emergency roof repairs should you find yourself in need of them.

What to do if a tree falls on your roof

One of the first things you should do if a tree falls on your roof is to safely evacuate all occupants. Once everyone is out safe, the next thing you need to do is call an expert roofing contractor that does emergency repairs and can call out to assess the damage and take care of temporary repairs so your home is safe.

We all know that trees are good for the environment and can be a wonderful addition to your garden or neighbouring surroundings. Unfortunately, when storms hit, that lovely tree outside can become a dangerous threat. If a tree falls on your home during a storm, it can cause significant damage and it is important that you know what to do.

Our Roofer Dublin experts remind you to make sure everyone is okay and that they are safely taken from your property. If there is significant damage it is dangerous to say in the house especially if it is raining and the tree has made a hole in your roof. If water comes in contact with electrical circuits it can make things so much worse.

If you can, take photographs of the damage to the inside and outside of your home as you will need them for insurance purposes later. If the damage is extensive you may be out of your home for a while so be sure to take any valuables with you.

If the tree didn’t damage the structure of your home, small roof repairs might be all you required. Fallen trees can loosen, break, and even knock away tiles which will need to be replaced as quickly as possible. Our Dublin roofing contractors can provide emergency roof repairs that will protect your property until full repairs can be carried out.

Remember it is important to take note of any damage caused by trees during storms and call an expert roofing contractor to assess the damage. Roofing Experts provides all manner of roof repairs including roof inspections. We also provide maintenance services and if you have trees in your garden it is essential that you carry out yearly roof maintenance to avoid things like this happening. No one wants to have a tree fall on their roof during a storm and if you follow our roof maintenance guide which includes trimming overhanging tree branches, you could prevent something like this happening. Roof repairs can be expensive and prevention is always a better choice. If you are worried about your roof, why not contact us today and arrange an inspection before any big storms hit.

Why You Should Have a Roof Inspection After a Storm

It’s March, but we’ve had a rather stormy February and in today’s post our Roofing Experts want to talk about the damage caused by storms and why you should have a professional roof inspection carried out after a storm.

Before we jump into the benefits of professional roof inspections, it is important for us to remind you that your roof is the first line of defence against weather elements. Your roof shelters you from rain, hail, sleet, snow, and wind. These elements can take a toll on the condition of your roof and that is why roof maintenance and inspections are important. Roofing Experts recommends that you get a professional roof inspection after a bad storm such as the ones we have been experiencing here in Ireland over the past number of weeks.

How Storms Can Damage Your Roof

You’d be surprised by the amount of damage storms can cause. Winter storms especially wreak havoc on roofs. Heavy snow, as well as fluctuating temperature, can be detrimental. Sleet and snow and freezing water in little cracks and crevices can cause roof tiles and gutters to crack. Professional roof inspections look for particular damage caused by specific weather fronts and after the fluctuating weather we’ve had, it’s important to check for any small roof damage and have it repaired before it becomes a bigger problem.

Strong winds and heavy rain, which has been quite frequent over the past month can also do a lot of damage to your roof. Strong winds can loosen tiles and even blow them off your roof. This leaves it open and vulnerable to even more damage. Heavy rain on top of this can cause leaks, mould, insulation damage, and more. Strong winds can also lead to damage from fallen trees. Persistent heavy rain can also loosen roof tiles and when you take all this into consideration having a roof inspection really does make sense. It’s always better to find roof damage when it’s small and needs a minor repair rather than leaving things to get progressively worse and end up spending a small fortune on big roof repairs.

When to Call the Professionals

 After the recent storms that have surged across the country, you might want to have your roof inspected to make sure there has been no damaged caused. Roofing Experts recommend that you get an annual roof inspection regardless of the weather. Hiring Dublin roofing contractors is easy and it can save you a lot of money in the long term.

Benefits of having a Professional Roof Inspection

In today’s post, our Roofing Experts are looking at the benefits of having a professional roof inspection carried out on your home. Spring is here and hopefully, that will mean better weather in Ireland and after the recent storms and freezing temperatures, this is something we are all looking forward to. Storms can cause so much damage to roofs and below are the benefits of having a professional roof inspection.

Benefits of A Roofing Experts Professional Roof Inspection

1. Can Assess Invisible Damage: Most homeowners can spot big problems, but it is highly unlikely that you will be able to spot some of the smaller problems. After storms like Brendan and Jorge, you’ve probably gone outside and taken a look around for any damage. If you don’t see any visible signs you may think you’ve escaped. Unfortunately, some storm damage can only be seen when you actually climb up onto the roof. A professional roof inspection from Roofing Experts means you have a trained eye assessing your roof and looking for damage that you won’t see.
2. Small Issues Can be Spotted: Climbing up a ladder and taking a look at your roof yourself sounds great, and you will be able to spot any major damage, but in the case of storm damage, there can be a lot of hidden issues that you won’t see. It doesn’t matter how big or small the damage to your roof is, getting it fixed as quickly as possible is essential. A professional roof inspection is a thorough examination and things like small links, damaged tiles, cracks, etc, are all looked at. At well as this, our Roofing Experts know exactly what to look for on both the interior and exterior of your roof.
3. Help With Insurance Claims: A professional roof inspection includes pictures and a report on any damage found. If you are planning to claim on your home insurance you will be required to have pictures and proof of the damage. During our roof inspections, our expert roofing contractors will take pictures of any and all damage as well as filling in a report detailing what is wrong. Our reports are certified and we can give you an estimate of the cost of repairs while the roof inspection is being carried out.
4. Professionals Know What to Look For Regarding Water Damage: A profession roof inspection will also look for any water damage. This can be hard to identify and most people only realise they have water damage in their roof when it’s too late and they find a leak. Our professional roofing experts are trained to know exactly what to look for.
5. Save Money in the Long Term: If you decide not to have a roof inspection carried out after a storm, you may find yourself handing over a lot of money down the road. Small or invisible problems left untreated can escalate and cost a lot of money. Having a professional roof inspection carried out can extend the life of your roof, let you fix any small problems immediately, and save you money over time. Preventative maintenance is the key to ensuring your roof has a better lifespan.

Roofer Dublin Storm Damage Roof Repair Tips

Autumn is here. Leaves and falling and we’ve already had our first storm of the season. Lorenzo didn’t bring as much damage as forecasted but our Roofer Dublin team have come up with some top tips on how to assess your roof and look for storm damage. By following this advice you’ll be able to check for and get help should you require roof repairs after the next storm.

Roof Repairs and Storm Damage

Even if a storm, such as Lorenzo, doesn’t produce massive rainfalls or the wind speeds predicted, it can cause damage to your roof. High winds can be the main cause of roof damage and if our winters here in Ireland are anything to go by, we can expect a lot more of it. It only takes wind speeds of 60 to 100 kph to see damage to your home. This can include fallen trees, power lines coming down, or even debris being blown from neighbouring gardens. We’ve all seen the pictures of trampolines flying through the air.

After any storm passes it is important to check for roof damage and below we have our Roofer Dublin tips on spotting roof damage.

Roofer Dublin Tips for Spotting Roof Damage

1. Check Your Attic for Leaks or Water Damage: If you spot any water stains on your ceilings or walls this tells you water is getting in and you may need to book in some roof repairs. Check for any drips or puddles in your attic as this is the first place the water will get in from your roof.
2. Start at the Ground: From the ground, you’ll be able to spot some roof damage. This includes missing tiles, broken or missing fascia, tiles that have lifted or moved out of place. Check your gutters too.
3. Fallen Branches: If a tree falls on your roof you’ll notice this immediately and the advice from the experts is to stay out of the house until you can get a professional roofing expert to assess the damage and to make sure the structure is safe.
4. Be Safe: Do not try going up on the roof to check for damage yourself. It is always safer to call out the experts and get them to check if you are in doubt.

If there is damage caused by a storm and you need roof repairs, be sure to contact your insurance company to see what you are covered for as well. Call an expert Roofer Dublin to quote for repairs and be sure to keep all your receipts for your insurance company.

Lorenzo may not have been as strong as predicted, but we can be sure there will be more storms before the winter is out and knowing what to look for in the aftermath is important. Here at Roofing Experts, our contractors are always on hand to advise and offer help on any aspect of roof repairs so be sure to get in touch if you have any concerns about the state of your roof after any of the winter storms to come.

6 Tips for Hiring a Dublin Roofer

If you’re looking to hire a Dublin Roofer our six top tips will help. Find the right roofer for your roof maintenance or repair needs can be a challenge in itself. This is where Roofing Experts can help. Below you’ll find our top tips on how to choose the right roofing contractor so you not only get qualified experts but also the best service and value for money as well.

6 Tips For Hiring A Dublin Roofer

1. Make Sure The Roofing Contractor is Insured

This is vital. You need to make sure that the Dublin Roofer you choose to carry out work on your home has employer and public liability insurance. You are well within your rights to ask to see their insurance certification before you let them up on your roof even if it’s only to provide you with a quote for roof repairs. When checking the insurance cert, make sure it’s valid and is in date. Proper insurance means you are protected against injury and third party liability.

2. Is roofing contractor Local and what is their reputation?

Choosing a local Dublin roofer is always the preferred choice. Make sure that they can provide you with references of work they have carried out in the area. Word of mouth is great and a good local roofing contractor will have an excellent reputation. You’ll also know they can be trusted.

3. Are They a Member of the National Guild of Master Craftsmen?

There are hundreds of Dublin Roofer websites and most will display badges for the National Guild of Master Craftsmen. If you see this you should be able to click on it and be brought to their membership page on the National Guild website. If you can’t click through to this you might want to try another site. If the link is live then you know the roofing contractor is legitimate and that you are in safe hands.

4. Don’t go With the Cheapest Quote

Every Dublin Roofer will provide you with a different quote, but don’t just go with a contractor because they are cheaper. Remember, your roof is a major part of your home and any repair work being carried out needs to be to a high standard. You also need to know that it will last and that it complies with all your home insurance guidelines. If a price seems too low, it probably is.

5. Beware the Door Knockers

If someone knocks on your door to say their carrying out work up the road or on a neighbour’s house and noticed some loose tiles or missing slates on your roof, don’t fall for it. Nine times out of ten these are just people trying to scare you into hiring them. Close the door and call a professional Dublin roofer to come and take a look.

6. Agree the Price Before Work Starts

Once you choose the Dublin Roofer that you are going to work with make sure that the price is agreed by both parties before any work starts. It’s also a good idea to find out how long it will take and if there is a payment schedule. Most will require a deposit, cost of goods, and then a final payment. Make sure you are happy with everything before you agree to anything and make sure you are satisfied with the roof repairs and work carried out before you hand over the final payment.

Dublin Roofers – Choose The Best Company

When it comes to Dublin roofers there are so many companies to choose from that finding the right one for your roof repairs can be a nightmare. To help you out, our roofing experts have come up with this simple guide and a list of questions to ask before hiring anyone for your roof repairs.

By following our Dublin roofers guide and asking questions you can end up saving yourself money. An expert company will produce quality work that will last for years.

Getting the Best Dublin Roofers

Below is our checklist to work through when you’re looking for expert roofing companies Dublin.

1. Look for a local roof repairs company: Choosing Dublin roofers makes sense and if they are local it makes it easier to check out their previous work, and ask about their reputation. It also makes sense and there is nothing worse than having roof repairs carried out only to incur a further problem and the company vanishes or goes bust.
2. Check Insurance Details: This should be a no-brainer. A reputable Dublin roofing contractor will have insurance and appropriate liability cover too.
3. Get a full estimate: When you contact a roofing contractor be sure to ask questions. They should be able to offer you advice on material and why they recommend them. Ask questions about the roofing repairs they will be carrying out and speak up about any concerns you might have. Make sure you get the full estimated costs for all the materials and the work in writing. If it’s an emergency roofing problem this might not be an option. Also, keep in mind that the contractor you hire might uncover other roofing problems once they start work that they couldn’t have predicted when doing your estimate.
4. Cheap is not always best: Don’t automatically choose the Dublin roofing company with the cheapest quote. Make your choice based on the company that you are confident will do the best job. Remember, you get what you pay for and cheap roof repairs could lead to further problems and cost you more in the long term. Cheap roofers might not offer guarantees and this should be non-negotiable.
5. Get it in writing: Getting a written estimate isn’t the only thing. It is important to get full payment terms and the work schedule in writing too. Agree on how payments will be made before the work starts and never pay everything up front.
6. Avoid Cold Callers: If someone knocks on your door looking to carry out repairs, say no. A good roofing company Dublin won’t knock on doors.

Remember, when looking for Dublin roofers do your research. Ask for recommendations. Check online reviews. Once you’ve narrowed it down, give them a call.

Emergency Roofing: Help My Roof is Leaking

The Irish storm season is well underway and for many Dublin homeowners, this means their roof will be coming under some serious pressure from high winds, fallen debris, and more. In today’s post, we are going to look at emergency roofing and what makes a problem with your roof an emergency.

When storms hit, we have high winds and plenty of rain too. So what happens if you suddenly spring a leak and have water coming in through your ceiling?

No matter how big or small a leak may seem, it is classed as emergency roofing and you need to get it sorted as quickly as possible. Here at Roofing Experts, we have years of experience in emergency roof repairs in Dublin and if you need assistance, give our office a call.

Leaking Roof Emergency Roofing Repair

If your roof is leaking, there are a number of things you can do to help minimise the damage and keep your roofing repair costs as low as possible. Below are our roofing expert tips and advice.

Be Safe

Safety should always come first and if you have a large leak the first thing to do is turn off your electricity. Do not try to get on your roof to check for damage.

Stop the Water Spreading

Place empty containers under the leak and put old towels or sheets down to catch any splashes. If you have water trickling across the ceiling or down the wall, try sticking a long piece of string next to the leak with the end of it going into your container as this will guide the water to your bucket. If the paint on your walls is bubbling this could mean trapped water so you will need to puncture the bubble and let the water out.

If the leak is too big, you’ll need to call a roofing contractor right away. We offer an emergency roofing service in Dublin.

Prevent Further Water Damage

Try to figure out which room is being affected by the leak and cover your furniture or valuables. If the leak is letting in a lot of water, make sure to move anything important out of the way.

Cleaning Up

Once you have the flow of water under control the clean-up process will begin. Depending on the damage, you can do it yourself or hire professionals. You will need to make sure that everything is dried thoroughly and the quicker you can do this the better.

Emergency Roofing Repair

The next step will be to get your roof fixed and it is important to hire a fully licensed and insured Dublin roofing company. Make sure to get quotes and make sure that the Dublin roofers you choose to work with locating and repair all the wood that has been damaged from the leak before re-roofing.

Prevent Future Leaks

We have storms every year and there is nothing we can do about the weather, but there are some things you can do to try and prevent emergency roofing repairs in the future. This includes keeping any trees around your property trimmed, maintaining your chimney flashing, and keeping your gutters clean and free of dirt and debris.

Roof Repairs: How to Identify Problems with Your Roof

Here at Roofing Experts, our Dublin roofers are always looking for ways to help homeowners avoid costly roof repairs. In this post, we share our tips and advice on identifying roof problems so you can avoid costly repairs in the future. Any issue with your roof is a problem and not only can they lead to costly repairs, but they can damage other parts of your home too if left untreated. Sometimes being able to identify the source of common roof problems can help you avoid expensive issues. Below you will find some of the most common roof problems that Dublin homeowners can face as well as how to identify them and have them rectified by a professional roofer.

Defective Pointing in Hip Tiles, Ridge Tiles, and Verges

Defective pointing is something that you can identify yourself. If you have defective pointing you are looking at minor roof repairs but if left unchecked damp can seep into your home and storms can dislodge loose tiles. Defective pointing can be spotted if you have:

• Loose mortar and gaps between the joints or your ridge tiles, hip tiles, or verges.
• Missing irons that are used to secure the tile to the bottom of the hip
• Slipped tiles
• Damp or leaks in your attic

Missing or Slipped Slates or Tiles

If tiles or slates come loose and slip away it can lead to damp and problems in your attic. This will only become an issue if several tiles or slates are missing. Most roofs built after 1950 have an additional layer of underlay but with older roofs, this can become a problem quite quickly and you will need roof repairs as soon as you notice the problem.

Old Tiles or Slates that Need to be Replaced

If you are missing more than 10 slates or this amount are damaged per slope then your roof might need to be replaced. It is important to get a Dublin roofer to call out and assess the problem. The roof will need to be stripped and recovered to prevent any further damage. This is a job for a professional roofer.

Defective Flashing

Cracking can occur where the roof slopes around parapet walls, dormers, chimney stacks, and subsidiary roofs. This can lead to leaks and damp patches that can penetrate your home. When this happens it is usually a sign that there is a problem with your flashing around the roof. Sometimes flashing can come loose especially in older properties and can also be an issue in extensions that have been poorly constructed. Overtime damp caused by defective flashing can cause the adjoining timbers to rot and when this happens, urgent roof repairs are required.

In the situations mentioned above, you will need to get a quote from professional Dublin roofers. It is important not to leave a damaged roof, and our experts are happy to have a chat with you and advise on what needs to be done. You should never risk your safety by trying to carry out roof repairs yourself and if you want to avoid expensive repairs down the line, see help as soon as you notice any problems.

Understanding Roofing Repairs Quotations

If you’ve contacted a Dublin roofing company for a quotation for roofing repairs, this post will tell you what you should look for in the proposal you receive. All Dublin roofers prepare their quotations differently, but the items below should all be included.

Materials Used

Dublin roofers should include the list of roofing materials they plan on using in their quotation and proposal. This should include the name of the manufacturer and the style and grade of the material. Having this information to hand will allow you to compare the different quotes you receive and give you an idea of the quality you will receive from each of the roofing companies.

Work Schedule

The roofing repairs proposal should include a details schedule of works with information on when everything will happen. Roofing repairs shouldn’t take too long to complete but they can be inconvenient while you’re at home. It is important to know how long the job will take and how long the roofer will be in your home each day.

Liabilities/Insurance

Expert roofing companies in Dublin will also include information about insurance in their proposal. This will tell you what insurance the roofers have. It is essential that they have insurance because you will be liable for any injury that occurs on your property and without insurance how do you know that your roof repairs are in compliance with building codes.

Waste Removal

Roofing repairs are messy and the proposal should also include information on how the roofing contractors will clean up and how the waste will be disposed of.

Warranty

Warranties should be listed in the proposal as well and this includes the warranty on materials and on the work carried out by the roofing company. The specifics of each warranty should be listed including exactly what is covered.

Payment of Roof Repairs

The proposal should also outline what you need to pay and when. Some roofing companies have stage payments, while others prefer part up front and the rest on completion of the work. A good proposal will have an itemised list of costs for everything so you can compare it with other quotes you receive.

Additional Costs

If additional costs arise you need to know how these will be dealt with.

Get The Best Roofing Repairs Quote

All the above items are important when it comes to assessing roofing repair quotations. Some are more important than others and one of the most important things to check for is an itemised list of costs. Not every roofing company in Dublin will give you an itemised list so if you are comparing quotes it is important to ask for one. An itemised list will let you see exactly what you will be paying for each aspect of your roof repairs including labour and material costs. The itemised list will also make it easier to compare quotes and make an educated decision on which company to hire to carry out your roof repairs.

In the end, when choosing between Dublin roofing companies, it is important to read through each proposal carefully. Expert roofing companies will be upfront with costs and estimates and will have the proper insurance necessary to carry out your roof repairs.
