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.
Which extras belong on a Felixstowe roofline installation?
GC Fixings Ltd includes the extras a roof needs as standard, depending on its type and pitch. Bird combs close the gap under the first row of tiles, keeping out birds, bats and insects. Eaves protectors stop the felt sagging and holding water at the edge.
Gutter guards keep leaves and moss from choking the flow, 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.
How much heat escapes through old windows?
Old windows are one of the main routes for heat to leave a house. Condensation between panes and draughts at the edges are the giveaways. New units keep more heat in and bring the bills down.
With energy bills where they are, GC Fixings Ltd sees window replacement as a sound investment, 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.
Why does it matter that a window installer is FENSA registered?
Fitting new windows is work covered by Building Regulations, and registration lets the installer self certify. Otherwise building control would have to be brought in on its own. Solicitors ask for it on a sale.
GC Fixings Ltd is FENSA registered and provides certification for every project. Windows and doors also carry a fascias and soffits in Braintree ten year insurance backed guarantee.
