Roofing and driveways in Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim
Carrick-on-Shannon is the county town of Leitrim, built around its marina on the Shannon and the Costello Chapel on Main Street.
Leitrim is one of the wettest counties in Ireland, and roofs here show it: moss, blocked gutters, rotting fascias and slates that let go in a storm.
We look after roofs, gutters and fascias in Carrick and the villages around it, and clean and re-colour roofs that have gone green.
Leitrim's county town on the river
Carrick-on-Shannon is a river town, with the marina at its heart and the bridge across to the Roscommon side. Close to the water, the air is damp for much of the year, and roofs on the older streets and along the river roads carry heavy moss. Carrick addresses use N41 Eircodes. Newer estates and apartment blocks sit on the edges, along with plenty of one-off country homes towards Leitrim village and Drumshanbo.
Rain, and lots of it
Leitrim is among the wettest parts of the country, so gutters and downpipes work harder here than almost anywhere we cover. Undersized or blocked gutters overflow, soak the fascias and stain the walls. We size new gutters for the rainfall, clear the roof with a full clean, and sort valleys and flashings with proper roof repairs.
Holiday homes and rentals
Many properties around Carrick are holiday homes, river cottages or rented houses that the owner does not see every week. We can look at the roof, the gutters and the drive in one visit and send you a written quote, so you know what needs doing before the next storm. For storm damage, our emergency line is open 24 hours.
Driveways that drain
With the amount of rain Carrick gets, a drive that holds water soon cracks and grows moss. We build drives with the right fall and add ACO drainage channels across entrances and garage doors, then lay tarmac, block paving or tar and chip on top. Tired paving can be power washed and sealed instead.
