What Kerry Does To A Roof

Kerry is the wettest county in the country and often the first place a named storm makes landfall. A roof here is under pressure from both directions at once, wind trying to lift it and water trying to get through it, and the wet means growth returns on a slate slope faster than almost anywhere else.

Valentia slate came out of this county and roofed buildings well beyond it, so there is genuine native slate on older Kerry roofs that is worth saving. Beyond that you have coastal and mountain housing on steep, rocky sites, along with the town housing in Tralee and Killarney.

Ask two things: how the roof will be fixed against uplift, and how often it will need cleaning. Anyone quoting a pressure wash on a slate roof here should be shown the door, because it strips the surface and drives water under the laps. On an old roof, ask whether the slate is native and salvageable.

Contractors on the list here work out of Tralee, Killarney, Listowel, Blennerville, Gneevgullia and Ballylongford, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.

Serious roof work here is a summer job, and honest local roofers say so. The wet also means moss treatment is a recurring cost rather than a one-off, so it is worth asking what a return visit would cost when you first get a quote.
