Trying to maintain your home's exterior can be a nightmare. The majority of homes all have a large amount of woodwork, which has to be maintained. Timber which has been used in the past (low quality untreated soft wood), usually pine, requires regular time consuming and expensive maintenance. But this is not necessary the case.

The P.V.C.u.e replacements will look like newly painted wood year in, year out and will enhance and protect your home.

Soffits
These help to protect high level brickwork from rain and can protect up to 750mm. This over hang is enclosed with either timber or asbestos. (If asbestos, the removal must meet with current strict regulations and deposited in controlled areas as required by health and safety). The new P.V.C.u.e soffits should be ventilated to allow air to circulate the roof space. This has to meet current building regulations.

Fascias
In all cases the old fascia should be removed, the rafter ends examined and if necessary, any rotten areas removed and new treated timbers spliced to replace them. The rafters are checked for straightness with a string line then clad with the new P.V.C.u.e fascia board.

Bargeboards
These are similar to fascias and are normally fitted to the gable ends of a house. They are slightly deeper than fascia boards and are fitted in the same way but without any air ventilators as these are not required in the areas.

Guttering
All gutters and down pipes should be replaced with new clips and fittings so they can match the new P.V.C.ue fascias and soffits.

Cladding
During the early 60's to the late 70's we saw a massive housing boom which increased the use of timber cladding as this was cheaper than brickwork, therefore cutting down on building costs. However, within a few years it was apparent that this was a maintenance nightmare. The cost of cutting down on building expenses was now outweighed by the high maintenance cost of replacing rotten timber and painting. All this is now behind us as the new P.V.C.u.e cladding is now tongue and grooved to match the old timbers, but without the maintenance, apart from the occasional wipe down resulting in pristine white finish for life.
