Roofers in Strokestown

Roofing and driveways in Strokestown, Co. Roscommon

Strokestown is known for its wide main avenue and Strokestown Park and the National Famine Museum at the end of it.

Around the town, homes are mostly farmhouses, bungalows and newer one-off houses, often stone-fronted, on open sites that take the wind from the west.

We handle new roofs and re-roofs, ridges and verges, roof cleaning and re-colouring, and long driveways in tarmac or tar and chip across north Roscommon.

A planned estate town

Strokestown is built around one of the widest streets in Ireland, leading up to the gates of Strokestown Park and the National Famine Museum. The town's older houses are two-storey, often with slate roofs, cast iron or old PVC gutters and chimney stacks at each gable. Around them, out towards Elphin, Tulsk and Scramoge, the countryside is full of bungalows and farmhouses.

What the weather does here

With mostly flat, open land around the town, the wind gets a long run at the roofs, and winter rain sits on north-facing slopes. On the older houses we repair slates, renew chimney flashings and replace gutters and fascias; on the bungalows it is more often roof cleaning and dry verge.

Booking a quote

Send your Eircode or townland with a photo of the problem if you can, and James or the team will arrange a free quote visit. Bigger jobs such as a new roof or a full driveway are priced in writing so you can compare.

Respecting older buildings

The older houses on Strokestown's main street are a big part of the town's character. When we work on them we match slate and ridge as closely as we can and keep chimney stacks rather than remove them, so a repair does not stand out from the street. Gutters and downpipes can be replaced in black or other colours to suit the building.
