What Sligo Does To A Roof

Sligo has an exposed Atlantic coast and high ground close behind it, so wind funnels and accelerates in places in ways that surprise people who assume only the shoreline is affected. Salt reaches well inland on the worst days, and it goes to work on fixings and gutter brackets.

Sligo town has a compact older core with slate and awkward access, and the county runs to coastal villages and rural housing under Benbulben and along the shore. A lot of it stands exposed with little shelter.

Ask what the roofer has seen fail locally, because in a county with this much variation in exposure the honest answer is specific rather than general. Corrosion-resistant fixings are worth the extra here even a few miles from the sea.

Contractors on the list here work out of Carraroe, Rathedmond, garavogue, North West, Ransboro and Lynns Dock, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
