At SM Roofline, we believe in making your home look great while ensuring it’s protected for years to come. Recently, we worked on a lovely home in Kelvedon Hatch, Essex, replacing fascia, soffit, guttering, cladding, and repairing the cement verges. Here’s a look at what we did, along with some pictures of the work.
Fascia, Soffit, and Guttering Replacement
The first job was to remove all the old fascia, soffit, and guttering, including the downpipes. This step is really important because it gives us a chance to check the rafter feet underneath for any damage. If we find any rotting wood, we’ll fix it before installing the new system.
We then replaced the old parts with high-quality 18mm fascia and 10mm soffit in anthracite uPVC. Not only does this look modern and sleek, but it also helps keep your roofline safe from the elements.
We also made sure the fascia boards were ventilated at the eaves, and we added drip trays and bird combs where needed. The grey square guttering and downpipes were put in place to match the new fascia and soffit, making sure everything looks neat and functions well.
Cladding Upgrade
Next, we replaced the old cladding on the house, including the main front section and smaller parts above the garage and porch. We first checked the battens underneath to make sure they were spaced correctly, then added a breathable membrane to help prevent moisture problems in the future.
For the new cladding, we used Hardie Plank fibre cement cladding, which is durable and looks fantastic.
Cement Verges Repair
Finally, we repaired the cement verges. The old verge tiles, including the concrete and tiled undercloaks, were removed. We replaced them with fibre cement under-cloaking, which is much more durable and will protect your home better in the long run.
We also re-bedded the existing tiles using a 3:1 mix of sand and cement to ensure they were secure. Any broken tiles were replaced, so the verge looks brand new.
Happy Home, Happy Customer
We’re really pleased with how the home in Kelvedon Hatch turned out. The new fascia, soffit, guttering, cladding, and cement verges not only look great but also help keep the property safe and secure.
