TAMS 3 – Shed Roof Replacement (Farm Safety Scheme)

A new grant is available under TAMS 3 Farm Safety to help with replacement of existing farm shed roofs.

🔹 Grant rate: 60% (within the €90,000 TAMS ceiling)

🔹 Purpose: Replace old or unsafe shed roofs to improve farm safety and storm resilience

🔹 Scheme: Farm Safety Capital Investment Scheme

📄 Planning is essential

Before applying, farmers must have either:

✔ Full planning permission granted (with stamped drawings), or

✔ A Section 5 Declaration of Exempted Development from the local authority

⚠️ A “decision to grant” is not enough — planning/exemption must be final before the TAMS application is submitted.

⛔ Do not start work until planning/exemption is in place and the TAMS application is submitted and approved.

🏗️ Other key points

• Shed must meet TAMS technical specs (no internal agitation or extraction points within the building being re-roofed (e.g., slurry agitation points). Structural Assessment: In some cases — for example, if the rafters or stanchions are not being replaced — a chartered engineer’s report may be required to demonstrate structural soundness. Safety Standards: New gutters and proper ventilation may be required where roof elements are replaced.)

• Engineer’s report may be required in some cases
