ROOFLINE QUESTIONS

When Should I Replace my Roofline?

There are a number of signs that are a good indicator you should consider replacing your roofline. This includes cracks and broken sections, peeling paint and whether or not you’ve noticed any pests in your roof space. If you’ve detected any of these issues, we recommend performing an additional investigation to determine the extent of the damage and whether replacements or repairs are necessary. We can perform both.

What Finishes are Available on Roofline Products?

uPVC roofline is available in a variety of colours and in both smooth and grained finishes. uPVC gutters and downpipes come in a selection of colours too, including cast iron effect which is textured. Our sectional aluminium gutters are available in matt, gloss, satin and leatherette finishes in an array of colours. We also offer aluminium seamless gutters for a smooth, sleek finish.

Does it make sense to replace your roofline before your windows?

Yes, it does. This is to prevent any debris from your old fascias and soffits dropping onto new silicone and windowsills, and any damage occurring. We can liaise with your chosen contractor to schedule in your works. In fact, most of the local firms are friends and customers.

UPVC CLADDING

Will Replacing my Cladding Make my Home More Efficient?

Cladding on its own is not designed to insulate properties, however, when insulation is fitted behind it, this will enhance the thermal efficiency of your home. If your current cladding is old and tired looking then replacing it with new insulation behind it will almost certainly make it more efficient. And the more efficient your home is, the less it will cost to heat. Replacing old, tired cladding will also improve the outside appearance of the home and provide it with protection from the weather.

Is uPVC environmentally-friendly?

Yes it is. Aside from being recyclable up to ten times, it’s extremely durable so its carbon footprint is very low. The use of eco-friendly products is part of our commitment to environmental sustainability.

Will Replacing Cladding add Value to my home

Tired looking cladding will almost certainly affect a buyer’s view of your home in a negative way, which might lead to a devaluation of your property. Whereas, a smart exterior gives the impression that your home has been well taken care of. This is an appealing prospect for any potential buyers and is likely to make your home appear more valuable in their eyes.

GUTTERING FAQs

What is the diffence between gutter styles?

Aside from differing in appearance, the style of gutter has an impact on the amount of water that is able to be diverted. For example, round gutters offer the lowest water flow rate and they are suitable for most domestic properties. Whereas, Deepflow and Ogee gutters can carry more water so are ideal for use on bigger roof sizes, such as those on commercial properties or large, detached homes.
