Roofline Installations

Clad Over provides a Short Term Solution

This method is essentially a makeover and uses a thinner gauge PVCu product that is tacked on over the top of the existing fascia and soffit boards, new guttering is then fitted (sometimes old gutters are refitted). The method is somewhat cheaper in the short term both on labour and materials.

But what of the long term?
Encased fascia boards can rot from behind and so are hidden from view. You may not notice any further rot behind the boards until you see evidence of rotten materials falling into the garden.

It is perfectly ok to clad over soffit boards as these are normally made of plywood or a man made fibre board and are not normally exposed to the elements, so they are less likely to rot. We sometimes recommend this as they act as a firm ground for the new boards to be fixed to.

Replacement of your Roofline Materials

We will remove existing soffits, fascias, guttering & down pipes to the areas identified. We will report to our customer, any rot or other matters to roof timbers or tile under felts & we will check existing down pipe outlets for blockages.

White finish heavy duty PVCu cellular Fascia boards (19 mm) 10mm ship lap effect or plain soffit boards with over soffit ventilators,
Replace any rotten tile felts, cut out and splice in new timber ends to any rotten roof timbers up to 100 mm.long.
Fit and seal new guttering and down pipes (choice of colours and shapes)
Bird combs will be fitted to the top of the fascia boards / tiles if applicable
Depending on the style of existing roof tiles we will normally push back the first rows of tiles and fit a eaves protection system if required
Our expert's attention to installation detail includes replacement of rotten rafter feet, the renewal of disturbed cement on gable end edges and the replacement of rotten felt up to the first tiling battens.

Notes:
On removal of the existing roofline, should any issues become apparent that do not fall within our contact with you, ie excessive decayed timbers, damaged roof tiles, ridge tiles or loose verge tiles needing rebedding, excessive decayed under tile felts, we will identify these to you along with an additional price to carry out such works. Of course we would have no objection to you obtaining additional estimates for the works: Should you require us to cease work whilst the other works are completed then we will levy
additional charges for waiting time (our own survey does not include a full roof or internal timber survey).

Gable end roof tiles will only be fully rebedded if charged for within our contract to you.

What do the Works Involve & What does it Cost?

All works associated with the repair or replacement of Fascia Boards, Barge Boards, Soffits, Guttering and Downpipes are subject to survey so that we can inspect the property and understand your exact requirements.

Terminology:

Fascia Boards:	The boards that the gutter system is fitted to.
Barge Boards:	Normally areas of timber that run up the gables of the roof, sometimes as large painted areas.
Soffits:	The boards that run below the gutter system back to the host wall of the house.
Guttering:	The areas that collect rain water from the roof.
Downpipes:	The pipes that take the rainwater from the gutters down to the drains.

It is not possible to provide indicative prices because each property is different in it's individual set of requirements. Cost will depend on the time involved and the materials used along with access equipment if required. The cost of any access equipment will be included in your quotation.

Specifications

Cristal normally specifies Eurocell building products although occasionally alternative supplier’s materials may be specified.

The majority of our foam profiles are co-extruded. This superior product goes through a production process which offers the advantages of a sealed cellular structure durability and better surface with no pinking or pitting.

All our products are produced in accordance with BS EN ISO 9002, with the roofline and cladding profiles BBA approved roofline systems combine other advantages including, hidden ventilation, allowing fascias and soffits, cladding and bargeboards, guttering and downpipes to breathe and so inhibits the occurrence of damp & rot.
Ventilation may be provided through the soffit or where a plain soffit is required, over the fascia board. We can supply a range of options for both situations.

Our expert's attention to installation detail includes replacement of rotten rafter feet, the renewal of cement on gable end edges and the replacement of rotten felt up to the first tiling batten. Roof void ventilation is required in order to prevent the build up of condensation with consequential damage from rot.

All homes are scaffolded using the Easy-Dec access system making assembly time short. Your brickworks will not be damaged by scaffolding or ladders as the system simply rolls up the walls.
