Wexford is home to a thriving business community of approximately 8,700 SMEs, and roofers in the Wexford Town area and beyond are no exception. But many don't realise the extent of their GDPR obligations — particularly around handling customer insurance claim details and policy numbers without adequate security measures.
Under the Irish Data Protection Act 2018, every business that processes personal data must comply with GDPR. For roofers, that means having proper policies for handling customer names, addresses, and eircodes, phone numbers and email addresses, and more. The DPC has the power to fine non-compliant businesses up to €20 million.
Wexford has a diverse economy spanning agriculture, tourism, and manufacturing, with a particularly strong soft fruit and vegetable growing sector. Wexford Opera Festival and the county's extensive beaches drive a strong seasonal tourism economy. Enniscorthy and New Ross contribute manufacturing and food processing jobs, while Rosslare Europort provides direct European trade links. With enforcement ramping up across Ireland, there's never been a more important time to get your house in order.
Absolutely. GDPR applies to all roofers in Wexford that handle personal data of EU residents — whether that's booking information, contact details, or employee records. Ireland's Data Protection Commission actively enforces these rules, with penalties reaching up to 4% of annual global turnover.

STEP BY STEP
Provide a privacy notice to all customers before commencing work, including specific mention of any insurance data you will process and any drone surveys you will conduct.
Register with the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) for drone use and comply with both aviation and GDPR rules when capturing aerial images of properties.
Store insurance claim details, policy numbers, and loss assessor correspondence in a secure, encrypted system with limited access.
Set clear retention periods for drone footage and roof survey photographs — delete them once the job and any warranty or claims period has ended.
Put data processing agreements in place with loss assessors, material suppliers, and any other third parties who receive customer data.
For emergency call-outs where data is collected quickly, follow up within a reasonable timeframe with a proper privacy notice and ensure the data is entered into your secure system.
COMMON PITFALLS
Using drones for roof surveys without considering that the footage may capture neighbours' properties and gardens, which is a GDPR issue as well as an IAA matter.
Storing customer insurance policy numbers and claim details in unsecured emails or paper files that any staff member can access.
Collecting customer data during an emergency storm call-out and never providing them with a privacy notice explaining how their data is used.
Keeping roof survey reports and photographs for years after the job is done without any data retention schedule.
