Worn Mortar Is How Most Galway Roofs Leak
The ridge, hip, verge and valley are the four points where a roof is most exposed to wind-driven rain. They are held together by mortar, and Galway's combination of heavy rain and frost crumble that mortar over time. Once it cracks, water drives up under the tiles and into the roof space — long before you notice a damp patch on the ceiling.
Our roof repointing in Galway strips the failing mortar, re-beds the ridge and cappings with fresh mortar, and repoints the valleys and verges so the roofline is solid again. Where a roof suits it, we can fit a dry ridge system instead — a maintenance-free method that holds the tiles without mortar that cracks and needs repeating.
If your ridge tiles are loose, mortar is crumbling onto the ground, or water is finding its way in at the ridge, call 089 944 0642 for a free quote and an honest assessment. We cover all of County Galway, from the city to Clifden.

Roof Repointing FAQs for Galway
Answers to the questions we hear most from Galway homeowners
What is roof repointing?
Roof repointing is renewing the mortar beds that hold ridge tiles, hip cappings, verges and valleys in place. Over time, Galway's rain and frost crumble this mortar, leaving gaps that let wind-driven rain lift tiles and soak the roof. Repointing restores a watertight, solid roofline.
How do I know if my roof needs repointing?
Signs include loose or rattling ridge tiles, visible hairline cracks or gaps in the mortar beds, mortar crumbling onto the ground, missing cappings, and water finding its way into the attic along the ridge or verge. If you can see daylight or gaps at the ridge, it needs attention.
How much does roof repointing cost in Galway?
Ridge re-bedding and re-pointing typically starts around €350 for a semi-detached roof, with valley and capping repairs priced on the extent of the work. We give a free, itemised quote after inspecting your roof and explain exactly what needs doing.
What areas of Galway do you cover?
All of County Galway — Galway City, Salthill, Knocknacarra, Oranmore, Athenry, Ballinasloe, Loughrea, Tuam and out to Clifden and the west coast.
Does repointing stop wind-driven rain leaking in?
Yes. Most of the water that gets under a roof enters at the ridge, hip, verge and valley — exactly where the mortar lives. Renewing that pointing seals the roof against the wind-driven rain that's so common in Galway and stops it soaking the timbers.
Should I repoint or fit a dry ridge instead?
On exposed Galway roofs a dry ridge system is a modern, maintenance-free alternative to mortar that holds the ridge tiles without the pointing that cracks over time. We can advise which suits your roof; both stop the same leak point.
