What Laois Does To A Roof

Laois is inland and unremarkable weather-wise until you get up towards the Slieve Bloom, where exposure rises and the rain gets heavier. Most of the county sits in the quiet middle, where roofs last well and problems build slowly.

Portlaoise has grown fast, so there is a large body of relatively young estate housing alongside considerably older rural houses and farm buildings. The two need completely different conversations: one is about a build type, the other about decades of patching.

If you are up towards the hills, mention it, because exposure changes what fixings are appropriate. On a newer house still within its build guarantee, ask whether the fault is workmanship rather than wear before you pay anyone to fix it.

Contractors on the list here work out of Portlaoise, Abbeyleix, Portarlington, Killenard and Kilgorey, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
