A new roof is one of the most significant investments you will make in your property. Whether you are building a new home, replacing an ageing roof or upgrading to a more durable material, Westlink Roofing and Guttering delivers new roof installations across Athlone, Westmeath and the wider Midlands that are built to last for decades.
With over 27 years of experience in the roofing trade, we have completed hundreds of new roof projects ranging from modest residential bungalows to large commercial premises. Every installation is carried out to the highest standard, using premium materials sourced from trusted Irish and European suppliers.
Types of New Roofs We Install
Pitched Roofs
The pitched roof remains the most popular choice for Irish homes, and for good reason. The sloped design naturally sheds rainwater and provides excellent ventilation in the roof space. We install pitched roofs using a variety of coverings to suit your property style and budget:
- Natural slate — the premium choice for Irish homes, offering unmatched beauty and a lifespan of 100 years or more. We source slate from top quarries and fix each piece by hand for a flawless finish.
- Fibre cement slate — a cost-effective alternative that closely replicates the appearance of natural slate while offering excellent durability and a lighter weight on your roof structure.
- Concrete tiles — available in a wide range of profiles and colours, concrete tiles are robust, affordable and well suited to modern and traditional homes alike.
- Clay tiles — a classic material that weathers beautifully over time, ideal for period properties and homeowners who want a distinctive, characterful finish.
Flat Roofs
For extensions, garages, dormers and commercial buildings, a flat roof can be the ideal solution. We install modern flat roofing systems including fibreglass (GRP), high-performance felt and EPDM rubber membranes. Each system is fully bonded and seamless, eliminating the joints and laps that cause problems on older flat roofs.
Our New Roof Installation Process
We follow a structured process to ensure every new roof is delivered on time, on budget and to the highest quality:
- Free survey and consultation — we visit your property, assess the structure and discuss your requirements, preferences and budget.
- Detailed quotation — you receive a clear, itemised quote with our 14-day price guarantee. No hidden extras, no surprises.
- Material selection — we help you choose the right covering, underlays and accessories for your property type and location.
- Professional installation — our experienced team strips the old covering (if applicable), inspects and repairs the timber structure, installs breathable membrane and underlay, and lays the new covering to manufacturer specifications.
- Finishing touches — all fascia, soffit and guttering is checked or replaced, ridge tiles are bedded and pointed, and lead or zinc flashings are installed where needed.
- Final inspection and clean-up — we walk you through the completed work, clear the site and leave your property spotless.
