Fascias Soffits Guttering in Wem, Shropshire

Most homeowners we talk to in Wem tell us the same thing: they're sick of climbing ladders every few years to sand and paint their old boards. It's a dangerous, thankless task, isn't it? That's why we specialise in high-quality UPVC roofline replacements. Unlike wood, UPVC won't warp, crack, or rot. It doesn't need painting, and it doesn't care how much it rains. Whether you're looking for a classic crisp white or a modern Anthracite Grey to match your new windows, we can provide a finish that stays looking brand new with nothing more than an occasional wipe down. It's the ultimate 'fit and forget' solution for your property.

You might have seen some companies offering to 'cap' or cover your existing wooden boards with a thin layer of plastic. We'll be honest with you—we don't do that, and we don't recommend it. Imagine putting a clean bandage over a dirty wound; the rot underneath just keeps growing. If you trap moisture against your original timber, it will eventually rot away the rafter tails, leading to a much bigger and more expensive repair bill. When we take on a job in Wem, we do a full replacement. We strip away every bit of old wood, check the ends of your roof beams for damage, and install thick, solid UPVC boards. It's the only way to guarantee your roof is actually protected.

Is your guttering currently doing its job, or is it overflowing like a waterfall every time we get a typical Shropshire storm? Faulty gutters are one of the main causes of damp patches and mould inside the home. We install deep-flow guttering systems that are designed to handle much more water than standard DIY-store versions. We make sure the levels are spot on so the water actually flows toward the downpipes instead of pooling in the middle. From clearing out old blockages to installing completely new, seamless systems, we'll make sure the rain stays on the outside where it belongs.

It’s a common sight in Wem: birds and squirrels finding their way into the loft because the boards at the edge of the roof have gaps. Once they’re in, they can cause a lot of mess and damage to your insulation. When we install your new fascias and soffits, we can also fit bird-proofing combs and eaves protection trays. These trays sit under your roof felt to prevent water from 'ponding' behind the fascia and stop local wildlife from making a home in your rafters. We also use vented soffits to keep the air moving in your loft, which is the best way to prevent that nasty condensation and damp that can ruin your belongings.
