Fascias and Soffits Felixstowe: The Hidden Extras
GC Fixings Ltd, a family run uPVC installer based near Ipswich, covers fascia and soffit replacement in Felixstowe and the rest of Suffolk and Essex. A new roofline should include the extras the upvc soffits in Colchester roof needs: bird combs, eaves protectors, gutter guards and, where required, over fascia vents, fitted as standard.
What else should come with a new roofline?
On every roofline job, GC Fixings Ltd fits the extras the roof type and pitch call for as standard. Bird combs fill the space beneath the lowest tiles, which stops nests and infestations. Eaves protectors stop the felt sagging and holding water at the edge.
A gutter guard keeps leaf litter and moss out of the channel, and over fascia vents let air into the roof space on the properties that need it. They are invisible from the street and still do a great deal of the job.
How do I replace soffits and fascias?
The old boards and gutters come down, the rafter ends are checked, then the new fascia is fixed along the roof edge with the soffit underneath. Guttering is refitted at the end with the correct fall, along with any bird combs and eaves protectors.
Do new windows make a house warmer?
Old windows are one of the main routes for heat to leave a house. Watch for misting between the panes, draughts and gaps around the frame. New units keep more heat in and bring the bills down.
GC Fixings Ltd points out that new windows and doors make sense with energy costs as they are, and notes they can add value to a property. The minimum glass rating it fits is A.
Is it worth replacing soffit and fascia?
Usually, yes, once the timber is rotting or the paint has failed, because uPVC ends the repainting cycle and protects the rafter ends. GC Fixings Ltd includes a ten year guarantee on roofline installations and quotes full replacement free.
Why does it matter that a window installer is FENSA registered?
Replacement windows and doors have to meet Building Regulations, and a registered installer can certify that the job does. The alternative is a separate application to building control. A buyer's solicitor will expect to see it.
GC Fixings Ltd is FENSA registered and provides certification for every project. A ten year insurance backed guarantee is included on windows and doors.
