New UPVC Rainwater System & Roofline Repairs in Wickford

The property had old roofing felt that had begun to deteriorate, causing concerns over water ingress and long-term protection of the roofline. Additionally, the original guttering system was outdated and required replacement with a more durable and low-maintenance option.

Work Carried Out

  1. Scaffolding Erected
    • For safe and efficient access to the roof, scaffolding was erected along the rear elevation of the property.
  2. Tile & Batten Removal
    • The first three rows of roof tiles and battens were carefully removed to gain access to the damaged felt underneath.
  3. Installation of Breathable Felt
    • A new layer of breathable felt was installed beneath the existing felt, ensuring a watertight barrier and extending the roof’s lifespan.
  4. Eaves Protection Trays
    • UPVC eaves protection trays were fitted over the fascia and into the guttering line, preventing future felt sagging and ensuring smooth rainwater flow.
  5. New Guttering System
    • The old guttering was removed and replaced with a modern UPVC rainwater system, providing a sleek finish and efficient water drainage.

The Transformation

The finished project not only restored full waterproof protection to the property but also enhanced its roofline with a clean, low-maintenance UPVC guttering system. The breathable felt and eaves trays ensure long-term protection against leaks, while the new guttering adds both functionality and a fresh appearance to the home.
