Why Capping Old Boards in Copdock Hides the Problem

Roofline Replacement Copdock, Done Down to the Rafters

GC Fixings Ltd, a family run uPVC installer based near Ipswich, covers roofline replacement in Copdock and the rest of Suffolk and Essex. Full replacement removes the old boards so the rafter ends can be checked, where capping seals any rot in. GC Fixings Ltd quotes full removal and replacement free.

What does a full roofline removal and replacement involve?

Capping means fixing a thin uPVC cover over the existing timber, and it hides the problem rather than removing it. Stripping back to the rafters is the only way to see what condition the roof edge is really in.

GC Fixings Ltd offers a free, no obligation quotation on full removal and replacement. The old boards, gutters and downpipes come down, and the new roofline goes up in one job.

What is the best replacement roof for a conservatory?

There is no single best: the choice is between glass, polycarbonate and solid or tiled roofs, and it turns on budget, light and temperature. Whatever is chosen, the frame and base underneath have to be able to take the weight.

Could damp in a Copdock house be coming from the roofline?

Very often, since a wall that is repeatedly soaked from above will eventually carry damp inside. Look for damp high up, directly below a gutter joint or outlet.

Check the gutter above during rain before spending money on damp treatment. Staining down the brickwork is another clue. GC Fixings Ltd points out that the drainage of a property is crucial to get right, because it prevents damp.

How long does it take to replace soffits and fascias?

It depends on the size of the house and on what is found once the old boards come off, so a firm answer only comes after a survey. Rotten rafter ends behind old timber are the usual reason a job takes longer than planned.

Is the quotation free?

Quotations from GC Fixings Ltd are free and carry no obligation. First comes a site visit to see the property and talk it through, then precise measurements are taken and a detailed quote follows.
