Our gutters are manufactured from a coil of aluminium which is fed through the roll forming machine in our “Gutter Lab” allowing us to make the gutter to any length. We make use of a 0.6mm or 0.8mm thick aluminium material as an industry standard.
The coils are coated on both sides with the highest quality fade and flake proof paint which is baked onto the material in the manufacturing plant. The material is given a 15 year guarantee against fading, flaking and rusting, this guarantee is passed on to the customer.
The gutters are made in two sizes 125x85mm OGEE which would be used for domestic applications and the 150x125mm OGEE which would be used for bigger houses and commercial building with big roof areas.
Seamless gutters give a very clean finish to a home as the hangers are internal and cannot be seen from the outside of the gutter.
The shape of the two gutters is the same but the volume is different due to the bigger material being used. That is why we make use of the cleanest material to make our seamless gutters (AL) aluminium. Aluminium if fully recyclable and has a very long life, it is rust free and very light.
Cladding is the material used to cover part or the whole of the exterior component of a building.
Is generally the timber boards that are located at the gable-ends of the roof. Bargeboard cladding is when you cover your existing bargeboards with Aluminium, Nutec or PVC cladding
Fascias are the boards fitted vertically to the ends of your rafters on the lowest edge of the roof. These are the boards where the guttering will be fixed to. Fascia cladding is when you cover your existing fascia boards with Aluminium, Nutec or PVC cladding
Bargeboard capping is when you cover and seal the ends of the roof-gable ends and the bargeboard with Aluminium, Nutec or PVC capping
Leaf guard is an aluminium mesh product, fitted inside the gutter along the top edge, to keep out leaves and protect your gutters and downpipes from blockages.
We offer gutter cleaning services to ensure your gutters are maintained all-year-round.
The gutters will be cleaned out and cleared of any dirt or debris, the downpipes’ flow will be checked and tested, corners and end-caps will be checked and tested, to ensure that no blockages or leaks are present.
