Roofline

Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

The roofline area is the most exposed and vulnerable feature of any property. It is ravaged by all weathers and is susceptible to hazards such as blocked gutters, which along with traditional timber fascias are prone to rot. Unfortunately, if they are left for too long without attention damp can penetrate into the roof area causing joists to rot and mould to appear on the ceilings.

Maintaining your roofline area is one of those dreaded jobs that no doubt either keeps getting put back or never gets done as it’s rarely a quick fresh coat of paint that is needed, more often than not areas will require patching and filling.

The benefits of replacement fascias

By replacing your existing fascias, soffits and guttering with P.V.C.u will not only improve the overall appearance of your home but also play a vital part in protecting your roof. P.V.C.u is self coated and will not flake, crack or peel and acts as an excellent insulator. It is weather resistant - it’s impermeable outer skin is unaffected by moisture, can’t be damaged by sunlight or the freeze and thaw period in the winter months and will not rot or corrode and requires the bare minimum of maintenance. A quick wipe over with a warm soapy cloth is all that is needed.

Colour options

Our products are designed to blend with the existing style of your home, preserving it’s character and are available in a several colour options with the most popular being, white, brown or black. However, there a numerous other colours available including light oak offering the traditional look of timber. Guttering and downpipes are available in white, brown or blacks

Some installers will fix the new board over the top of the existing ones, this process is often referred to as ‘cloaking or capping over’. Although this process is quick and often much cheaper it is a disaster in the long run as it merely just hides the actual problem and boxes in the area where damp and rot can spread to. Our trained team of surveyors will always advise that the bottom row of tiles are removed and the existing felt is cut back, existing fascias, bargeboards and guttering will then be removed where necessary. The new soffit will be installed with 18mm thick fascia board using stainless steel ring shanked nails. The next stage is to install the guttering and down pipes along with our eaves protection system with rodent guard where it is applicable refit the tiles and then a final wipe down and clean.

All roofline products come with a 10-year manufacturers guarantee against rotting, splitting, cracking. (All white products carry a 10-year colour fastness guarantee). Upon completion of installation an independent 10-year insurance backed guarantee will be issued ensuring total peace of mind.
