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 Longford.

What Longford Does To A Roof

Longford is lakeland, low-lying and damp, without much in the way of severe exposure. The damp is the operative fact: it keeps slopes green, keeps gutters wet and lets small blockages turn into damp walls over a winter rather than a season.

Mostly rural, with modest older houses, farm buildings and a compact stock of town housing in Longford town and Granard. Roofs tend to have been maintained rather than replaced, so there is a lot of accumulated patching to read.

Ask the roofer to look at the whole rainwater run, not just the slates. In a damp low-lying county the leak is very often the gutter, the outlet or the downpipe, and replacing slates will not fix a wall that is wet because water never got to the drain.

Contractors on the list here work out of Cartronageeragh, Townparks, Kiltyreher, Edgeworthstown, Lanesboro and Ardagh Village, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.

Getting slate roofing Done In Longford

A small county with a modest number of roofers, so booking ahead matters more here than the size of the job would suggest. Routine gutter work is easy to get done; a re-roof takes planning.
