Mullingar is one of the main towns in Co. Westmeath, with older terraced streets near the centre and housing estates built from the 1970s onwards.

Before Work Starts on Your Roof
01
Planning
Most like-for-like roof repairs do not need planning permission. Homes on Westmeath County Council’s Record of Protected Structures are different, and some roof works need permission. Check with the council’s Architectural Conservation Officer if your home is protected.
02
Bats
All Irish bat species are protected by law. If bats roost in your roof space, the National Parks and Wildlife Service must license any works that disturb them.
03
Asbestos
Many Irish roofs built before 2000 used asbestos cement slates. The Health and Safety Authority requires asbestos to be identified before work starts on older buildings.
04
Safety
Under the Construction Regulations 2013, homeowners who hire a roofer are treated as clients. Ask your roofer how the job will be made safe, including scaffolding and edge protection.

Questions, answered
Do I need planning permission to replace my roof in Mullingar?
Like-for-like roof replacement usually does not need planning permission. Protected structures and changes to the roof shape, height or front-facing rooflights can. Westmeath County Council can confirm for your home.
Is there a grant for roof repairs in Co. Westmeath?
There is no general roof repair grant. Homeowners aged 66 and over may qualify for the Housing Aid for Older People Grant through Westmeath County Council, and vacant homes may qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant.
What happens if there are bats in my roof?
Bats and their roosts are protected. Works that would disturb them need a derogation licence from the National Parks and Wildlife Service, and timing the work outside key bat seasons often helps.
My roof might contain asbestos. What should I do?
Do not drill, cut or power-wash it. Asbestos cement slates must be identified before work starts, and removal must be done by a suitably qualified contractor under Health and Safety Authority rules.
Does a new roof need insulation?
When a roof is fully replaced, Building Regulations Part L apply. Adding insulation while the roof is open is usually the most practical time to do it.
What are my safety duties when I hire a roofer?
For a single-contractor job, you need to take reasonable steps to check the roofer is competent. Larger jobs with more than one contractor need project supervisors appointed in writing.
Should my roofer be CIRI registered?
The Construction Industry Register Ireland is being introduced as a statutory register for builders and trades. It is worth asking any roofer whether they are registered.
What should a roofing quote include?
Materials, membrane and batten spec, ridge and flashing details, scaffolding, waste removal, a start date and the guarantee on workmanship and materials.
