What the job actually involves is set out on the slate roofing page, which covers the work itself, the materials and what to expect. What follows is specific to Limerick.

What Limerick Does To A Roof

Limerick sits on the Shannon estuary, which funnels wind inland and brings a salt edge further from the open coast than people expect. The city itself is moderate, but roofs out along the estuary see more exposure and more corrosion on fixings than their inland neighbours.

The city has Georgian terraces with parapets, valleys and hidden gutters, which is specialist work rather than general roofing. Beyond it there is suburban housing and then farmland with substantial agricultural roofs.

On a Georgian or terraced property, ask directly whether the roofer has done parapet and box gutter work, because it is a different trade to laying slate on an open slope. Out along the estuary, ask about the fixings.

Contractors on the list here work out of Courtbrack, Prior's-Land, Ballykeeffe, Newcastle, Corkanree and Raheen, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.

City and county availability differ noticeably, with Georgian and terraced work in the city needing a specialist and often a longer wait. Farm roofing out in the county tends to be quieter over winter and easier to schedule.
