What Leitrim Does To A Roof

Leitrim is the wettest inland county, with heavy clay ground that holds water and air that rarely dries out fully. Roofs here suffer from persistent damp rather than dramatic storms: moss establishes quickly, slate laps stay saturated, and gutters carry growth as much as water.

Housing is thinly spread, largely rural, with a lot of older cottages and farm buildings and a good deal of it standing among trees. Overhanging trees are a bigger factor here than most people credit, keeping slopes shaded and gutters full.

Ask about gutters and growth first. In this county the sensible maintenance conversation is an annual clear and a moss treatment, not a re-roof, and a roofer who leads with that is being straight with you. If there are trees over the roof, ask whether cutting them back is part of the answer.

Contractors on the list here work out of Dowra, Carrick-On-Shannon, Aughnasheelin, Newtown Gore and Drumshanbo, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.

Very little dries out quickly here, so mortar work and coatings both want a genuine dry spell rather than a dry afternoon. The county also has fewer roofers per square mile than most, so lead times can be longer than you would expect for the population.
