Roofers in Ballymahon

Roofing and driveways in Ballymahon, Co. Longford

Ballymahon sits on the River Inny in south Longford, with the wide main street and bridge at its heart and the Longford Forest holiday village just outside the town.

Around the town and out towards Keenagh, Abbeyshrule and Lough Ree, most homes are rural bungalows and two-storey farmhouses. Their concrete tile roofs grey and green over the years, and the river valley damp keeps moss growing on north-facing slopes.

A roof clean and re-colour is one of the most asked-for jobs on these houses, along with fascia and gutter replacement and long country driveways resurfaced in tarmac or tar and chip.

Damp, moss and the Inny valley

Ballymahon homes sit low beside the River Inny, and the river mist and shade from old trees keep north-facing slopes damp for much of the year. Moss roots into the joints of concrete tile, holds water against the roof and slowly blocks the gutters below. Cleaning the roof, treating it and sealing it with a re-colour coat stops that cycle for years, and clear gutters and downpipes stop the overflow staining the walls.

South Longford farms and holiday lets

Around Keenagh, Abbeyshrule and the lanes towards Lough Ree, plenty of properties have sheds, a farmhouse and a newer bungalow on the one site. We quote for the lot in one visit: roof repairs on the house, flat roof re-coating on an extension and power washing of the yard and drive. Holiday homes and rented houses near the Center Parcs forest get the same free quote.

Getting to Ballymahon

Ballymahon is a straight run down the N55 from our Longford base, so the team is regularly in the area. If you are in Legan, Forgney, Barry or Ballymore direction, tell us your townland or Eircode and we will fit you in on the same trip as other south Longford work.

Before the winter

The quiet months before Christmas are the time to have a Ballymahon roof looked at. Gutters full of leaves from the riverside trees, a cracked ridge tile or a lifted flashing are all cheap to fix in autumn and expensive once water has soaked the ceiling. A free quote visit covers the roof, the gutters and the drive, and you get the price before any work starts.
