From Survey to Final Check in Rayleigh
GC Fixings Ltd, a family run uPVC installer based near Ipswich, covers roofline replacement in Rayleigh and the rest of Suffolk and Essex. A roofline installation runs in order: consultation, survey and quote, removal of the old boards, fitting the new fascias and soffits, then checking every run.
What happens on the day the new roofline goes up?
It follows a set order: consultation, survey and quote, preparation, installation and finishing. Preparation means taking the old boards down and getting the area ready. The new fascia runs along the roof edge, and the soffits go underneath it.
At the finish, alignment and fixings are checked across the system. How long it takes depends on the size of the house and what turns up behind the old boards. GC Fixings Ltd says every project is completed on time and to a high standard.
Is a leaking conservatory roof covered by insurance?
Sometimes, if the leak follows sudden damage such as a storm, but wear and tear is usually excluded. Check your policy, because insurers draw the line in different places.
How often do gutters need clearing out?
The usual culprits are leaves, moss washed off the roof and fine debris that settles. Houses under trees need it more often than those in the open. For most properties an annual clear is a good baseline.
Gutter cleaning is on the GC Fixings Ltd list, taking out leaves, moss and debris. If the run is damaged beyond cleaning, the gutter can be replaced instead.
How do you fit uPVC cladding?
It is fixed to treated battens on the upvc cladding Colchester wall, with starter trims at the bottom and trims at the corners and openings. The battens create a ventilated gap behind the boards, and insulation can be added at that stage.
Who actually does the survey and the installation?
GC Fixings Ltd is family run, and its owner is Gareth Canham. The free quotation, the survey and the installation are all done by Gareth himself.
It means the person who measures up is the person who fits it. Anything discussed at the survey is still known on the day of fitting. GC Fixings Ltd calls it a very personal and professional service.
