Our services include:
New Guttering & Cladding Installations
We install gutter-only or full guttering and cladding systems, and external wall cladding. We are happy to carry-out installatio ns to either all or only parts of your property. In many cases the cost will be no more than it would be to decorate the same area - and once it is cladded there is no more decorating to be paid for every few years!
We will either overclad the existing timber fascias and soffits if they are in suitable condition, or carry- out a full replacement if they are not. We don’t subscribe to the ‘rip it down whatever’ school of thought which is usually promoted by commission-hungry salesmen - we’ve all heard the myth about the timber rotting if it is overcladded, but in fact nothing seals timber as effectively as the old 3 or 4 coats of lead-based paint, and that was never accused of causing the wood to rot! If the timber is sound we can overclad it and save you money whilst still providing a permanently maintenance-free and attractive installation. Small areas of rot can be cut out and new timber scarfed-in prior to overcladding, and we always treat all the surrounding timber with high quality timber preservative.
If our thorough inspection reveals that the timber is generally unsound then we will advise you accordingly and qu ote for a full replacement. A full replacement usually involves serious disturbance of the roof and it is here that our roofing experience is invaluable in ensuring the roof work is carried-out correctly. All too often we are called-in to make-good damage to a roof that has been caused by cladding installations carried out by companies with no roofing expertise at all.
Our preferred cladding and guttering materials are supplied by Eurocell and Marshall Tufflex (links to their websites in left column) whose products are in our experience the best available today, and which, unlike many of the inferior products available, neither warp or discolour and are manufactured to the appropriate British Standards. We are of course always prepared to install good quality products from other manufacturers if you prefer.
All our installations are carried-out in accordance with current Building Regulations for ventilation and general application.
Existing Cladding/Guttering Refurbishment
PVCu cladding and guttering has been around for quite a time now, and despite its’ low-maintenance will eventually need a ‘spruce-up’. The gutters too will require cleaning from time to time. We provide a very cost-effective refurbishment service which includes thoroughly cleaning all the cladding, guttering and downpipes and ensuring full throughflow, checking that all seals and unions are in good condition and replacing any that are found to be faulty. We use specialist PVCu cleaning products which restore that ‘just fitted’ look to your installation.
Guttering Repairs
We offer a full repair service for all older plastic, cast iron or aluminium systems and keep a comprehensive stock of spares.
Footnote
We do not use high pressure selling, price-matching etc. (the latter being an obvious ploy to see other companies’ quotes!), pushing for ‘instant sign-up’ or any other dubious tactics. We believe in sending our written quotation and leaving it to the customer to decide without any pestering from us, or sitting in your house until you give-up and sign! Our feedback suggests that offers of up to 70% discounts are rejected by most customers as ridiculous and sure evidence of an inflated initial price - our 5% OAP Discount is however a genuine gesture which should be deducted from our quoted price if you qualify.
