Roofing in County Louth
Roofer in Louth — Roof Repairs & Roofing Contractor in Dundalk & Drogheda
Louth is a county of terraces, coastal exposure and a lot of older housing. Dundalk and Drogheda have long runs of terraced and semi-detached property where roofs share valleys and party walls, and along the coast from Blackrock to Carlingford the salt air and onshore wind shorten the life of fixings, flashings and roofline components.
We work across the county on repairs, replacements and the roofline and leadwork that goes with them.
Roofing conditions particular to Louth
Terraced roofs and shared valleys
On terraces in Dundalk and Drogheda the valley between two houses is a frequent leak point, and the work has to be done with the neighbouring property in mind. Relining a valley in lead and resetting the slates each side is the proper repair.
Coastal exposure
Property near the coast takes salt-laden wind that corrodes fixings and works at flashing edges faster than inland. Material choice matters more here, and it is worth checking exposed elevations more often.
Older town property
Louth has plenty of period housing where natural slate, cast iron and original leadwork are still in place. Repairing sympathetically keeps both the building and its value intact.

That is usually the shared valley or the party parapet. Both are repairable, and we will explain what access is needed and whether your neighbour needs to be involved.

It can. Fixings and flashings take more punishment near the sea, and we will talk you through the sensible choice for your property.
