What Cavan Does To A Roof

Cavan is drumlin country, all small hills and water in between, and it stays damp for much of the year without ever being especially stormy. That combination is hard on a roof in a slow way: growth takes hold on the north-facing slopes, gutters stay wet, and moss works into the slate laps rather than being blown off.

The county runs to scattered rural houses, farm buildings and lakeside properties, with a good deal of older housing around Cavan town and Bailieborough. Farm sheeting and outbuilding roofs make up more of the work here than they would in a city.

Ask about growth and drainage before anything else. A roofer who talks first about clearing gutters and treating moss, rather than going straight to replacing slates, usually understands what actually shortens a roof's life in this part of the country.

Contractors on the list here work out of Belturbet, Ballyjamesduff, Creighan, Drumavanagh, Killeshandra and Kilnaleck, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
