Cladding
Roofline
Our experienced fitters will start by erecting either towers or full scaffolding to gain access to your roofline. They then remove the first line of roof tiles and cut back the old felt line to reveal the eaves and roofs rafters. The felt line will replaced with longer lasting and more durable eaves protection boards. We then remove the existing fascia and soffit.
The new uPVC soffit is fitted first followed by the fascia. The uPVC fascia is fitted with ventilation and eaves protection boards. Eaves protection boards will replace the damaged felt, guide water into the gutter and keep out pests. Gutter brackets are fixed in place with the gutter is installed with the downpipes.
Finally, all new upvc is cleaned, and all rubbish is removed from the site. Upon the completed installation of your new fascia board, we will issue you with our 20yr warranty, which will ensure that you get the best from your gutters and fascias for the duration of this time.
The fascia is the front of the roofline. Attached directly to the rafters, the fascia is often made from uPVC but can often be seen in wood or metal. The fascia holds the gutter and takes the weight. Most popular choice for a fascia is white uPVC. It is possible to have your house fascia in a variety of colours and even in wood grain finish.
Soffits are not always featured on a roofs overhang. They are used to keep out the cold and damp and in the event of a fire, stop the flames from accessing the roof space. Because of this it is common to see asbestos soffits due to their fire-retardant properties, but no need to worry as we are an UKAS accredited asbestos removal company, so we can take care of all your requirements and will advise on the best way forward of working with or around asbestos.
Like your home’s fascia, the soffit can come in a wide variety of colours.
Cladding is the latest way to decorate your home. It provides water proofing and heat insulation to the exterior of a building and is available in a wide range of colours, finishes and materials.
Gutters are used to catch rain water and debris and redirect the flow to a downpipe and off to a drainage area on your property. Gutters are often seen in three different types. uPVC, metal, and concrete. uPVC is the cheapest alternative to replacing concrete and old metal gutters. It is becoming more popular to reintroduce metal gutters to homes using galvanised steel gutters.
Barge boards are used to cover the gable end of your home. Barge boards are used to protects the roofs exposed timbers from the elements. Since bargeboards do not provide any structural support it is common so see barge boards in a more decorative fashion. It is common practise to use the same fascia board to carry on as the barge board.
As a rule of thumb, full fascia and soffit replacements are required on nearly all our installations due to the age of the original timber fascias and soffits, lack of maintenance and weather damage. If the original timber fascia boards and roof eaves are good condition, it is possible to have a fascia and soffit cap over. Our surveyor will work out the best solution for your needs and budget.
Henry ford once said you can have it in any colour providing its black, well in the early days you could have any colour providing it was white! Now it is possible to get your new fascias and soffits in 15 different colours including special order RAL colours! We are even able to use Cedral cladding boards to create your roofline allowing you pick from different finishes and colours!
Bargeboards are the timbers fitted to gable ended properties. More often than not they have soffit boards fitted underneath as well. The bargeboards come down to meet the fascia boards to which the guttering is attached, and this area, where they meet is called the ‘box end’.
These box ends are an important visual element of your house and if fitted correctly will enhance the look of your property. We see many examples of poorly constructed box ends and you probably won’t have to look far to see one of these yourself.
So regardless as to whether it’s a cap over or full wood removal installation that we are carrying out we always make sure that special attention is paid to the box end detail and that they are fitted precisely and in one piece.
To us at the The Gutter and Cladding Company it is an important part in achieving customer satisfaction, therefore we want the finished look of the ‘box ends’ to aesthetically complement your house.
