What a Felixstowe Roofline Should Include as Standard
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 roof needs: bird combs, eaves protectors, gutter guards and, where required, over fascia vents, fitted as standard.
What are bird combs and eaves protectors for?
The extras are fascia and soffit replacement Copdock standard at GC Fixings Ltd, chosen to suit the roof type and its pitch. A bird comb blocks the gap below the bottom tiles so nothing can nest in it. An eaves protector supports the felt so water cannot pool at the eaves.
Gutter guards stop leaves and moss building up in the run, and over fascia vents let air into the roof space on the properties that need it. You will not notice them from the pavement, but they are what keeps the new roofline working.
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. The gutter goes back on last, set to the right fall, with bird combs and eaves protection where the roof needs them.
How much heat escapes through old windows?
Worn frames and early glazing let a lot of warmth escape. Watch for misting between the panes, draughts and gaps around the frame. Replacing them keeps a home warmer in winter and cuts wasted energy.
GC Fixings Ltd points out that new windows and doors make sense with energy costs as they are, and adds that they can add value to the home. Glass is fitted at a minimum A rating.
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. Roofline fitted by GC Fixings Ltd carries a ten year guarantee, and the quotation is free.
Do replacement windows in Felixstowe need certificates?
Replacement windows and doors have to meet Building Regulations, and a registered installer can certify that the job does. Without that certificate, you would need to involve building control separately. You will be asked for it when the house is sold.
GC Fixings Ltd is FENSA registered and provides certification for every project. Windows and doors also carry a ten year insurance backed guarantee.
