What Mayo Does To A Roof

Along with Donegal, Mayo takes the worst the Atlantic offers. Roofs on the west of the county are in a straight fight with uplift, and the sheer number of exposed, isolated houses means a single storm can do damage across a wide area at once, which is why local roofers can be hard to reach in the days after one.

Blanket bog and mountain across much of the county, with housing scattered thinly, plus the towns of Castlebar, Westport and Ballina. Farm sheeting is a significant part of the roofing work here and it fails differently to slate, usually at the fixings and the laps.

Ask about mechanical fixing rather than mortar, and get the storm question in early: whether they can do a temporary make-safe quickly if the worst happens, and what that costs. On farm buildings, ask about sheeting and purlins specifically.

Contractors on the list here work out of Castlebar, Claremorris, Swinford, Kilkelly, Ballynamona and Ballina, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.

After a bad Atlantic storm every roofer in the county is busy at once, which is the single most useful thing to know about timing here. If your roof is marginal, deal with it before the winter rather than joining the queue afterwards.
