We do not just look after the roof. The boards and gutters at the edge of it are what stop rainwater running down the wall, and when they rot or split the damage moves inside. The first sign is usually a green stain down the brickwork.
Whether you need one gutter replaced or the whole fascia, soffit and guttering system renewed, we take care of it from start to finish. No job is too big or too small.
What we replace
Guttering and downpipes
Old, damaged or badly fitted guttering leads to overflowing rainwater, staining and water sitting where it should not. We take the existing system off and fit new UPVC in the profile and colour you want, hung to the correct fall so it drains rather than sits, with new downpipes and fittings. Cast iron is replaced or repaired where the property calls for it.
Deep flow guttering
A deeper profile with more capacity, for a roof with a large catchment or a slope that overwhelms a standard half round gutter in heavy rain. We will tell you at survey whether your roof actually needs it.
Fascia boards
The board the gutter hangs off. We take the old timber right off rather than capping over it, because capping hides rot instead of removing it, and it keeps rotting behind the plastic where you cannot see it. New boards go on in low maintenance UPVC.
Soffits
The underside of the overhang, in ventilated UPVC so the roof space still breathes. Blocked ventilation causes condensation in the loft.
Bargeboards and cladding
The gable edge boards, replaced to match the fascia so the whole edge of the roof looks like one job.
Ways we can do it
- Gutter only replacements
- Fascia and soffit replacements
- Complete fascia, soffit and guttering systems
- Deep flow guttering systems
- Replacement downpipes and fittings
- A range of styles and finishes to suit the property
- Removal and disposal of the existing materials
- Professional installation and a full clean up on completion
How we do it
- Strip the old timber off. Every time. Capping over rotten fascia is quick, cheap and stores up a much bigger problem.
- Check the rafter feet. With the fascia off we can see whether the ends of the rafters have gone. If they have, they get repaired before the new board goes on.
- Fit and set the falls. New boards fixed, gutters hung to fall to the outlet, brackets at proper centres so they do not sag.
- Test with water. We run water through before we call it done.
Fair, straightforward pricing
Clear prices with the work explained before you decide anything, and a quotation that does not move once you have accepted it. New fascias, soffits and guttering make a big difference to how a property looks, and they are one of the few jobs where the improvement is visible from the pavement the day the van leaves.
