Fascias, Soffits & Gutters in Paddock Wood

If you can hear or see a more concentrated stream of water either hitting the ground or pouring over the tops of the gutters, then it is time to get your guttering system professionally checked. Guttering is designed to deal with rainfall, so the water should not be overflowing or leaking at any time unless it is blocked or broken. DIY gutter inspections pose all kinds of risks to your safety and the condition of your property.

Gutters are in place to carry rainwater as it falls from your roof. Instead of it falling down the side of your home, it is redirected through the downpipes. This ensures it does not cause problems to the external walls or foundations of your home.

While the modern materials used for soffits and fascias are virtually maintenance-free, we recommend cleaning your entire eaves trough system twice a year to prevent the harmful build-up of dirt, leaves and/or debris.

As clogged gutters can lead to water leaks, moisture damage and mould, we recommend a professional roof inspection twice a year to ensure that your roofing system is always performing as it should.

Costs will vary depending on several factors such as the size of your home, the replacement materials/styles chosen and the length of time it may take to do the job. No two houses or jobs are the same. Contact us and we will be happy to provide a free no obligation site survey and quote.

There are several reasons you may need to replace them, from age and deterioration to an update in style or to upgrade them to more energy efficient solutions. You may need to replace them if you notice any of these signs:

• Visible cracks or damage
• Water damage or leaks
• Peeling paint
• Discolouration
• Evidence of pests or small animals
• Roof has insufficient ventilation

In theory yes, but like any work at height, gutter repairs should not be attempted without the right training and equipment. The result will most likely be damage to your gutters, your property and even yourself.

While you can clean your soffits and fascias using a pressure washer, it is probably best left to the professionals like Pro Guard Roofing Specialists Ltd. It can be dangerous on a roof if inexperienced and you don’t want to get any water into your loft as any water leakage could potentially cause moisture, damage and mould.

Well-installed gutters can last upwards of 10-25 years if they are well maintained. But after a few decades, even well maintained can become brittle/rotten and susceptible to leaks.
