Garages and homes in Leitrim
Of 13,589 homes in Leitrim in Census 2022, 9,941 were detached houses: 73%, more than the national 41%. Leitrim ranks 2nd of the 26 counties for detached homes, which is where most garages are.
58% of Leitrim's homes were built before 2000, against 65% nationally. A garage of that age may have a fibre-cement roof worth testing for asbestos before anyone cuts, drills or power-washes it.
35% were built from 2001 to 2010: garages from those years usually need a new door and a re-felted roof rather than a rebuild.

Plan your garage renovation
A few quick taps: what your garage needs, what the roof and door cost, and the order to do it in. Contact details come last, and only if you want a price.
A single garage in Leitrim, new roof and a roller door: €3,120 to €6,300, the old door taken away included.
How the estimate is worked out
Roof and door ranges are what Irish roofers and door companies publish for the same job: the lowest to the highest figure. A double garage roof is its area times the rate for the covering. Floors, walls, windows, insulation and electrics vary too much from garage to garage to price fairly without seeing them, so the builder prices those on a visit.

Is my garage roof in Leitrim asbestos?
Corrugated or flat fibre-cement sheets on a garage built before 2000 may contain asbestos: Ireland banned asbestos products from 1 April 2000. Left alone and in good condition they're low risk. Don't cut, drill, sand or power-wash them: have a sample tested, and have them removed by a specialist contractor.
