Stop Leaks Fast with Our Complete Range of Professional Roof Repair Materials in Dublin, Ireland
Flat roof leaks rarely resolve themselves and almost always worsen over time, transforming minor maintenance issues into costly structural repairs that damage ceilings, insulation, and building fabric. QBM supplies a comprehensive range of repair materials that professional roofing contractors across Ireland rely on to address leaks quickly and permanently, from emergency patch repairs that stop water ingress immediately through to systematic refurbishment solutions that extend roof life by decades.
Our stock includes proven EPDM patch materials, liquid waterproofing systems ideal for complex details and awkward geometries, reinforced flashing tapes for vulnerable upstands and penetrations, and complete overlay systems that provide cost-effective alternatives to wholesale roof replacement. Whether your contractor is addressing a localised puncture, repairing failed flashings, or upgrading an entire ageing roof surface, we supply the materials and technical guidance that ensure repairs deliver lasting protection.
The most effective repair approach depends fundamentally on understanding the root cause of leaks, the condition of existing materials, and whether repairs represent a temporary fix or a long-term solution. QBM's technical team can help contractors evaluate repair options, from simple patch repairs using Elevate RubberCover EPDM for small punctures and tears, through to comprehensive liquid applied systems like Ultraflex or Mariseal Detail that can reinstate watertight integrity across entire roof surfaces without removing existing coverings.
Liquid waterproofing systems offer particular advantages for repair applications, conforming perfectly to complex details around penetrations, drainage outlets, and movement joints where traditional patch materials struggle to achieve reliable bonds. These systems cure to form seamless, flexible membranes that accommodate structural movement and thermal cycling whilst providing UV resistance and durability comparable to new roof installations.
Material compatibility represents a critical consideration often overlooked during emergency repairs, leading to short-term fixes that fail prematurely and waste both materials and labour. Different existing roof coverings require specific repair materials and surface preparation protocols to achieve reliable long-term adhesion.
EPDM repairs demand EPDM-compatible primers and adhesives, bitumen surfaces require appropriate bonding agents or torch application techniques, and aged, weathered membranes often need surface preparation to remove contamination before repair materials will bond effectively. QBM supplies complete repair systems, including surface cleaners, primers, reinforcement fabrics, and finish coatings, ensuring contractors have every component needed to execute repairs that maintain warranty compliance and deliver the performance clients expect.
The decision between repair and replacement hinges on roof age, extent of deterioration, and building owner objectives for service life extension. Minor localised damage on relatively young roofs justifies straightforward patch repairs that restore integrity at minimal cost. More extensive damage or systematic deterioration across aged roof surfaces often makes liquid-applied overlay systems the most cost-effective solution, providing 15-20 years of additional service life at a fraction of complete replacement costs.
QBM's range includes repair solutions for every scenario, from emergency leak stoppage materials that work even in wet conditions through to comprehensive refurbishment systems that transform failing roofs into high-performance assemblies meeting current thermal and weatherproofing standards.
Quality Building Materials maintains Ireland's most comprehensive stock of professional roof repair materials at our Dublin facility, enabling contractors to source emergency supplies outside normal working hours and collect planned repair materials without the project delays associated with special orders. Our relationships with leading manufacturers mean we can provide technical support for complex repairs, warranty guidance for system upgrades, and competitive pricing on volume orders for maintenance contractors managing multiple properties. Whether you're a roofing specialist responding to emergency call-outs, a facilities manager sourcing materials for planned maintenance programmes, or a building contractor addressing roof issues during refurbishment works, QBM supplies the materials, expertise, and service that keep projects moving and buildings dry.

Does QBM carry out roof repairs, or only supply materials?
QBM is a specialist roofing materials supplier and does not provide installation or repair services. We supply high-quality roof repair materials to professional roofing contractors across Ireland. Our Dublin trade counter provides expert product selection advice and technical support to help contractors specify appropriate repair solutions, whilst your chosen roofing specialist handles the actual repair work.
This focus on supply allows us to maintain comprehensive stock levels and provide the technical expertise that supports successful repairs. We're happy to recommend experienced roofing contractors in your area if needed.
Can small roof leaks be repaired, or does the entire roof need replacing?
Many flat roof leaks can be successfully repaired without full replacement, particularly when damage is localised, and the overall roof condition remains sound. Small punctures, tears, or failed flashings often respond well to patch repairs using compatible materials like EPDM patches or reinforced flashing tapes.
More extensive damage or systematic deterioration may benefit from liquid-applied overlay systems that restore watertight integrity across the entire surface whilst avoiding the cost and disruption of complete removal and replacement. The optimal approach depends on roof age, extent of damage, and expected future service life. QBM's technical team can help your contractor evaluate repair options based on roof condition and performance requirements.
What's the difference between temporary and permanent roof repairs?
Temporary repairs use quick-application materials designed to stop immediate water ingress and protect the building until permanent repairs can be scheduled. These typically include self-adhesive flashing tapes, emergency sealants, and patch materials that work in wet conditions but may have limited service life.
Permanent repairs use materials and application methods designed to deliver long-term performance comparable to original roof installations, including properly prepared substrates, compatible primers and adhesives, reinforcement fabrics where needed, and appropriate surface protection. Whilst temporary repairs address urgent situations, they should be followed by permanent solutions to avoid recurring problems and progressive damage to building fabric.
How long do roof repairs typically last before further work is needed?
Properly executed roof repairs using appropriate materials can deliver service lives approaching that of new roof installations. Well-installed EPDM patches typically last 15-20 years, liquid-applied repair systems can provide 15-25 years of additional service depending on product specification, and reinforced flashing repairs often match the remaining life of surrounding roof membranes.
Service life depends heavily on repair quality, material compatibility with existing roof coverings, proper surface preparation, and whether underlying issues like inadequate drainage or insulation problems are addressed. Emergency temporary repairs may last only months, whilst comprehensive liquid overlay systems can extend roof life by decades. Your contractor can advise on expected longevity for specific repair approaches.
Can roof repairs be carried out in wet weather, or must conditions be dry?
Most professional roof repair systems require dry substrate conditions for proper adhesion and curing, making weather timing critical for successful repairs. However, emergency repair materials are available that work in damp or even wet conditions when immediate leak stoppage is essential.
These include moisture-tolerant sealants, self-adhesive emergency flashing tapes, and certain liquid coatings formulated for application to damp substrates. Once emergency repairs stop active water ingress and substrates dry out, permanent repairs using standard materials can proceed. For planned repairs, contractors typically schedule work during dry periods to ensure optimal material performance and adhesion. Ireland's climate means repair timing often requires flexibility and weather monitoring.
