What Monaghan Does To A Roof

Monaghan is drumlin country like Cavan, small steep hills with heavy clay between them, and it holds damp. Roofs here go green on the sheltered side and stay wet longer than they should, and the clay ground means surface water hangs around the base of walls once gutters overflow.

Rural housing, farm buildings and the town stock of Monaghan, Carrickmacross and Castleblayney. There is a lot of agricultural roofing across the county and a good deal of older domestic slate that has been patched for years.

Treat gutters and moss as the routine job and slates as the exception. Ask what a yearly maintenance visit would cost, because in a damp county that is usually better value than waiting for a repair bill.

Contractors on the list here work out of Broomfield, Carrickmacross, Castleblayney, Clones, Tullyhirm and Tirkeenan, so most of the county is within a normal call-out.
