If you enjoy climbing ladders, painting fascia boards and spending good money after bad then this is not the page for you.

Do you want it to look like

this?      

In this picture please note the style of the soffit board. Because the soffit measurement was over 600mm, we were unable to fit plain boards! However, we decided that a tongue & groove style board would be the best option to cover the extra width. All of these boards were fitted using our 'hidden fixing method'. There are no visible fixing pins.

Another nice combination is black fascia with white soffit as shown in the picture on the left. You will see that the white soffit is panelled tongue & groove which is the standard way of producing large overhang soffits.

The gutter in this picture is  seamless alunimum. These are deeper than the conventional plastic gutters resulting in the majority of fascia being covered up by the depth of the seamless guttering.

We have a gutter forming machine which is sited in one of our specially designed vehicles. The pre-painted aluminium coil is then fed into the machine and with the aid of stainless and nylon rollers the gutter is roll formed into the distinctive ogee style that you can see very clearly in our logo.

The gutter is cut specifically to the individual property requirements

How is it fixed?

And yes, the rainwater will end up in the gutter without the leaves, they will simply blow away.

Designed and developed by Alu-rex in the USA these leafguards offer peace of mind that annual gutter cleaning will become a thing of the past. The round perforations and the slick finish prevent the debris to stick on the surface because of the Alu-Perf technology developed by Alu-Rex

This system is ideally fitted when installing a new gutter system, however, it is also possible to fit this type of leafguard in retrospect or indeed to existing gutter systems.

Answer - No they are not.

When deciding on which type of downpipe to use you will need to ask yourself the following questions:-

1. Do I want round or square pipe?
2. Do I want aluminium or heavy duty upvc?

Generally, the vast majority of domestic houses will opt for a round pipe which strangely enough seems to look better fitted to a seamless gutter than square pipes.

Aluminium or plastic?  Typically, a full size aluminium pipe from gutter down to ground level will cost in the region of £350.00 + VAT. By contrast, the same pipe in heavy duty upvc will cost in the region of £100.00 + VAT.

Benefits of aluminium over heavy duty upvc are as follows:-

• Colour will not fade in the sun over the years (especially dark colours like black and brown)
• Authenticity and durability
• Available in any powder coated colour
