What Westmeath Does To A Roof

Westmeath is lake country, low-lying and damp, with Lough Ree and Lough Owel holding moisture in the air. Exposure is modest, so the pattern is slow: green slopes, wet gutters and leaks that take a season or two to make themselves known.

Athlone and Mullingar provide most of the town housing, and the rest is rural, with farmhouses, outbuildings and lakeside properties. A fair amount of the domestic stock is older slate that has been maintained rather than replaced.

Get the gutters and the growth dealt with as routine maintenance and keep an eye on the north-facing slope. Ask the roofer what they would do to keep the roof going for another ten years, rather than only what a replacement would cost.

Contractors on the list here work out of Mullingar, Athlone, Milltownpass, Baylin, Coolvuck and Ballynagore, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
