Covering Newry and nearby
Damp, mild winters keep moss and algae growing on flat roofs and lantern frames, which holds water against seals and blocks weep slots. Regular clearing makes a real difference in wetter areas.
Coastal wind drives rain hard against lanterns, so cappings and ridge seals on the seaward face take the most punishment.
If you're just outside Newry, we also cover Banbridge (12 miles), Portadown (17 miles), Armagh (18 miles).
