Roofing in County Westmeath
Roofer in Westmeath — Roof Repairs & New Roofs Across the County
Westmeath is the centre of where we work, and between Mullingar, Athlone and the villages either side of the N4 and N6 we see the full range of Irish roofing: 1970s and 1980s bungalows on their original concrete tiles, town terraces with slate and cast iron, and newer estate houses where the problem is almost always detailing rather than age.
Whether it is a slate that came off in the last storm or a roof that has been patched one time too many, we will look at it, tell you what is actually wrong and price the work that fixes it.
Roofing work we are called out to in Westmeath
Ageing concrete tile roofs
A large share of Westmeath housing stock went up between the 1970s and 1990s under concrete tile. Those roofs are now at the stage where fixings corrode and the felt under the tiles perishes, which is why tiles start slipping in ones and twos every winter. We assess whether it is a repair job or a re-roof and say so plainly.
Slate and cast iron in the towns
Older property in Mullingar and Athlone often still has natural slate and cast iron guttering. Where the slate is sound, salvaged matching slate and proper leadwork keep the roof and the look of the building intact rather than defaulting to a wholesale replacement.
Exposed rural properties
Houses out towards Lough Ennell, Lough Owel and the more open ground north of Castlepollard take a lot of wind. Ridge bedding, verge pointing and chimney flashing are the usual casualties, and they are worth checking after any bad spell.

- We are working in the county regularly, so getting out to look at a roof does not involve a long wait for a gap in a distant schedule.
- You get a straight explanation of what is wrong and what it will take to fix — no jargon, no upselling a new roof onto a house that needs a day's repair work.
- Roof, roofline and the building work around it handled by the same people, so a damp wall gets traced to its real cause.
Questions
Roofing in Westmeath — FAQs
Do you cover all of County Westmeath?
Yes — Mullingar, Athlone, Moate, Kinnegad, Kilbeggan, Castlepollard and the surrounding villages and townlands.
Can you look at a leaking roof in Mullingar quickly?
Active leaks are treated as a priority. Call 083 072 0735, describe what you are seeing inside and we will tell you honestly when we can get to you.
Do you re-roof bungalows in Westmeath?
Regularly. Bungalows on original concrete tile are one of the most common full re-roofs we carry out in the county.
Do you do gutter and fascia work as well as roofing?
Yes, and it is often worth doing together — the scaffold or access is already in place, and rotten fascia is usually what is letting the gutter sag in the first place.
