Replacing your existing rooftrim can be done in several ways; many people choose to simply chad over their existing soffits and fascias. In many cases this can be the worst thing to do as this reduces roof ventilation and traps water in the existing rotten wood.

We recommend a full replacement of your existing rooftrim with ventilated uPVC soffits, fascias & guttering. In removing the rotten wood and installing ventilated replacement rooftrim this extends the life expectancy of the roof by not only ensuring the roof frame remains dry, it also replaces the existing fixings with stainless steel screws which will not deteriorate over time.  Benefits include:

• Improved Roof Ventilation
• Maintenance Free
• Extended Roof Life
• Aesthetically Pleasing

At ESG Windows we always recommend that you replace your guttering and downpipes when we install your new soffits and fascias, it isn’t cost effective to retain your existing guttering due to the cost of the materials. We offer a wide range of guttering and downpipes styles such as ogee and half round as well as square and round downpipes.

When installing new soffits, fascias & guttering we recommend installing both eaves protectors and bird comb. An eaves protector is a rigid PVC section that bridges the gap between the roofing felt and clips into the guttering system, this stops birds from removing the roof felt for nesting material. The bird comb which is inserted under the first row of tiles and acts as a cage to stop small birds nesting under the tiles on pantile roofs.

uPVC Dry verge systems protect the side of the tiles from high winds and water ingress. Such dry verge systems eliminate the risk of roofing leaks through cracked of missing gable roof pointing and as uPVC dry verges do not deteriorate your gable end roof will require no more attention. If you have a gable roof on your property in Scunthorpe we recommend installing PVC dry verges to protect your roof from high winds.
