Fascia, soffits and guttering. uPVC French Doors

Work recently carried out to a semi detached house included replacing the fascia, soffits and guttering to all levels as well as removing the old kitchen window and installing a new set of uPVC French doors.

"Oh my goodness! I am so very happy with the work carried out- thrilled!! The whole team from start to finish has demonstrated great professionalism, compassion and enthusiasm modestly in a way that was not just about the marketing of the business.

At all times I felt it was about us, the customer and carrying out our wishes as well as ensuring we were happy with the plans and the work.

The guys carrying out the work were punctual and respectful and as well as demonstrating great skill paying very close attention to detail, I cannot fault them from, their polite initial introduction at the start of the work to leaving the areas so spotless considering it's an outside space, at the end.

Thank you so much it's been a something I've wanted for a very long time and I am so pleased with the end result, it is everything and more than I expected and has already changed our attitudes of how we use the space."

New Roofline, Windows and Doors

We were contracted to replace the old roofline, windows and doors on a converted former Victorian school in Bury St Edmunds.

With full scaffold and access equipment we were able to remove all the old bargeboards, fascia and soffits and replace with new white uPVC with the addition of black guttering and downpipes to the entire roofline.

A total of twenty-four new Kommerling Casement windows were installed, triple glazed at the front all fitted into the brickwork. New French Doors and a Composite entrance door from Solidors were also fitted.

It was a pleasure to work on this fine property and we are all very pleased with the finished look.

"We are extremely happy with the new windows, doors and roofline. We of course will recommend you at every opportunity. Thank you all for such a brilliant service. The installation was excellent, your team are always polite, very respectful and professional."

Replacement Windows & Doors

Our customer asked us to replace all the windows and doors to their 1980's built property. We replaced fifteen windows, installed two sets of French Doors with side panels, a new back door and garage door all in Rosewood uPVC.

To complement this we fitted a further two composite front doors from Solidor and added Cladding to the side of one of the doors.

We also replaced the old roofline with new fascia, also in Rosewood uPVC with black guttering and downpipes. The house now looks very smart.

"Thank you for the excellent service provided, we will have no hesitation in recommending you to others. Very many thanks for a job well done. I was very impressed with the service I received and the politeness of the workmen."

Roofline Replacement

The customer asked us to replace the old roofline on their house in Hepworth Avenue, Bury St Edmunds. There were varied levels and scaffold was used to gain safe access to work on this property.

We replaced all the old bargeboards, fascia and soffits and finished off with the addition of square guttering, all in white uPVC. We also installed new eaves protectors, bird guards and ventilation for the loft.

"I cannot praise the service you and your team have provided enough, from meeting you at the beginning right through to completion. All of your team have been courteous, pleasant and a joy to have around. They tidied up brilliantly behind themselves and nothing was too much trouble."

Replacement Conservatory Roof

Mrs P and her family in Stowmarket are now enjoying their lovely 'new' conservatory thanks to Equinox, a revolutionary new tiled roof system from Eurocell. Equinox is revolutionary because of its ability to completely transform a tired-looking, draughty conservatory into an all-year round comfortable living space, within days.

The family set about finding a replacement roof after becoming fed up with their conservatory being too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Their original glazed roof, because it was fitted in 2000, lost a huge amount of heat during the winter, making the conservatory a cold, draughty space. In summer, the reverse was happened with heat from the sun building up inside, even with windows open, until it become unbearably hot and stuffy.

Research at Cranfield University has identified this is a common problem with many conservatories that have aged glazed or polycarbonate roofs. They found that the average south-facing conservatory reaches a comfortable temperature for only two hours a day, unless a large amount of energy is expended on artificial heating or cooling. "The roof has totally transformed our conservatory and made it feel like new," said Mrs P. "We were getting close to doing away with the whole thing as it was either too hot or too cold. When our installer suggested we take a look at the Equinox roof display in our local Eurocell branch we could see straight away that it was exactly what we needed." Mrs P added: "The old roof meant that we were only really able to use the conservatory during certain months of the year. Equinox has transformed the space and it still feels so light and airy 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!"

Being able to view an Equinox display in the branch gave the Gardners an opportunity to see for themselves how its appealing aesthetics – with a choice of traditional roof tiles – combined with unbeatable thermal performance and low maintenance would transform their conservatory.

With high levels of insulation built into the roof structure, Equinox is 10x more energy efficient than an A-rated window. That is just what they needed considering that they were losing around 20% of the heat generated in the conservatory through the roof. "What an amazing difference the Equinox roof makes," said Mrs P. "It has made our conservatory a much more comfortable place to be and that has effectively increased our living space by 20% overnight. I can't believe we put up with our old conservatory roof for so long!"

Another reason why the they like Equinox is that it resulted in minimal disruption during installation. It does this by allowing a weathertight seal to be created within a day and then it is just a simple process of finishing off internally and externally.

Overall project duration with an Equinox roof can be as little as 48 hours for a three-man fitting team. "We couldn't believe how quickly our new roof was fitted," said Mrs P. "My husband and I went out shopping and by the time we returned it was all in place."

The Equinox tiled roof system is available in a choice of tile colours including Charcoal, Antique Red and Burnt Umber. Alongside this is a range of premium composite roof slates to give the authentic natural look of traditional slate roofs. Eurocell offers a choice of thermally efficient rooflights that can be fitted with Equinox to maximise natural light.
