Roofs in Limerick city

Limerick city is the city on both banks of the Shannon: the centre, the Ennis Road and North Circular, Thomondgate, Caherdavin, Garryowen and Ballinacurra. It has 38,026 households, and 79% of them live in a house rather than a flat, so most have a roof of their own to look after.

Most homes were built between 1981 and 2010 (51%), so the roofs are 15 to 40 years old: concrete tiles with moss in the joints, and gutters that fill every autumn.

Why do roofs in Limerick city go green?

Damp and shade. Shannon Airport gets rain on 223 days a year and the air is damp most mornings (9am humidity averages 84%). North-facing slopes and roofs under trees green up first.

Can a roof be pressure washed?

No. A pressure washer strips the surface off concrete tiles, cracks old slates and drives water under the tiles and the ridge. The moss comes off by hand, then a moss killer goes on at low pressure.
