Roofers in Drumlish

Roofing and driveways in Drumlish, Co. Longford

Drumlish is in the hills of north-west Longford, close to the Leitrim border, with Ballinamuck and the 1798 battlefield just up the road.

Homes here are mostly rural: bungalows, dormers and farmhouses on hilly sites that catch wind and rain. Exposed ridges and verges, and moss on the north side, are the common faults.

We repair and re-roof, fit dry ridge and dry verge, clean and re-colour roofs, and lay tarmac or tar and chip driveways up steep country lanes.

Hill country in north Longford

Drumlish sits in the hills of north Longford, close to Ballinamuck and the Leitrim border, and many homes there are on raised, open sites with long views and very little shelter. Wind-driven rain gets under loose tiles and through tired flashings, so a roof that looks fine from the road can still be letting water into the attic.

Rural homes and long lanes

Most of the work around Drumlish, Ballinamuck and Gaigue is on bungalows, dormer homes and farmhouses, many of them built over the last forty or fifty years. Typical jobs are roof repairs to lifted tiles, dry ridge and dry verge to stop mortar washing out, and new roofs where the felt and battens underneath have reached the end of their life.

Finishing the outside

Long lanes take a beating from tractors and weather. We resurface them in tar and chip or tarmac, which suits a rural entrance, and power wash yards and paths. If the gutters on the house are overflowing or sagging, we can replace them on the same visit.

Out of hours

Out here, the nearest help can feel a long way off when slates lift in the middle of the night. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, and for a north Longford leak we will talk you through what to do until the team arrives, then make the roof safe and come back to do the permanent repair.
