St Joseph’s Monastery
Re-Roof
Bangor Blue slates have a proven track record for durability and longevity.
St Joseph’s Redemptorist Monastery is an impressive building in Dundalk, Co Louth which was designed by architect George Ashlin (1837-1921), particularly noted for his architectural contribution to many landmark churches and cathedrals across Ireland.
St Joseph's was originally built in 1879 by James McAdorey, a Belfast man who had settled in Dundalk and is famous for its annual Novena which now attracts over 10,000 visitors per year.
In recent years, QMAC Construction carried out an extensive €8 million renovation and refurbishment of the monastery. In addition to this, QMAC also built a new extension which included a 180-seat hall, offices, meeting rooms and a reception area. The original natural slate roof covering required heightened maintenance over recent years as the fixings had came to the end of their lifespan, with lots of slate slippage evident across the roof.
“As well as protecting the original building design, this renowned roofing slate provided the assurance for us that this roof would last for centuries to come.”

Part of QMAC's building works included the full re-slating of the existing roof with the same slate being used on the new extension facility.
