Guttering, Fascias and Soffits in Westhoughton

Sometimes, but usually the bottom course of tiles needs lifting to replace the felt at the eaves and fix the new fascia properly. It's not a big job and the tiles go back as they were. Skipping it can leave the new roofline vulnerable to water tracking behind.

Not necessarily. Plastic gutter joints rely on rubber seals that perish with age, and these can often be replaced. If the gutter is brittle, discoloured, or has lost its fall because brackets have failed, replacement is the better option. We'll check and tell you.

Concrete tile roofs on many Westhoughton estates grow moss, which washes into gutters with every heavy shower. Regular gutter cleaning helps, and removing heavy moss from the roof itself reduces the load. Gutter guards can work too, but they need checking and suit some gutters better than others.

White is the most common, but uPVC fascias and soffits come in a range of colours and wood-effect finishes. On estates where neighbours have white, you might want to match; others prefer black or anthracite to tie in with windows. We'll show you the options when we quote.

We'll replace damaged or leaking downpipes and check that water is reaching the drain. If the problem turns out to be a blocked or broken underground drain, that's a job for a drainage specialist, and we'll let you know so you can get it looked at.
