What the job actually involves is set out on the emergency roof repairs page, which covers the work itself, the materials and what to expect. What follows is specific to Clare.

What Clare Does To A Roof

The Clare coast takes the Atlantic head on, and the wind arrives carrying salt as well as rain. Salt is the part people forget: it works on nails, screws and gutter brackets, so fixings on an exposed Clare roof give out sooner than the slate they are holding.

There is a long slate tradition here, with the Killaloe quarries having roofed a good deal of the country, so older Clare houses often carry heavy native slate worth keeping. Away from that you have coastal villages, farmhouses across the Burren and the newer housing around Ennis and Shannon.

On the coast, ask what the roofer intends to fix with. Stainless or copper fixings cost more and are the difference between a roof that lasts and one that starts slipping in a decade. On an older slate roof, ask whether the existing slate can be salvaged and re-laid.

Contractors on the list here work out of Ennis, Kilrush, Ballyfinnan, Creegh and Knocknaskeha, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
