Engineered to Withstand Northwest Atlantic Storms
Pitched roofs in Leitrim, Sligo, Roscommon, and Donegal face some of the highest rainfall and wind-uplift pressures in Europe. When slates slip, nail rot occurs, or old bitumen felt underlay perishes, driving rain penetrates into roof timbers, causing rotting rafters, wet ceiling drywall, and catastrophic heat loss.
At Elevate Roofing & Building, our master slaters have over 20 years of hands-on experience installing slate and tile systems that last 50 to 100+ years. We strip back damaged roofs to sound timbers, fit breathable high-performance vapor-permeable membranes (meeting Irish NSAI SR 82 standards), re-batten with pressure-treated 50x25mm timber, and hand-nail every slate with certified copper or heavy-gauge aluminium alloy nails.
