What Carlow Does To A Roof

Carlow sits in one of the drier, more sheltered corners of the country, tucked in behind the Blackstairs and out of the worst of the Atlantic. Roofs here age slowly and fail quietly, which sounds like good news until you realise it means small faults sit unnoticed for years rather than announcing themselves in the first gale.

Between Carlow town and the villages along the Barrow there is a lot of solid nineteenth century stone housing with original slate, alongside newer estates on the edges of town. The older roofs are usually sound in the slate and tired in everything else: the nails, the ridge mortar and the valley lead.

Because the weather is not doing the diagnosing for you, a proper look at the fixings and the flashings matters more here than in an exposed county. Ask what condition the nails and the valleys are in, not just whether any slates are missing.

Contractors on the list here work out of Tullow, Bennekerry, Pollerton, Clonmelsh, Southcourt and Phelim Wood, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
