Fascias Soffits Guttering in Alford, Aberdeenshire

Many homeowners ask us if they can just "cap" their old boards with plastic. To be honest, we would not recommend it. It is a bit like putting a fresh coat of paint over a rusty car – the problem is still there, just hidden from view. At P D Roofing & Building Contractors, we believe in doing the job properly. We strip away the old, decaying timber bargeboards and fascias entirely. This allows us to check the rafter tails for any hidden damp or structural issues before we install your new, rot-resistant uPVC. It is a bit more work upfront, but it means you will not have to worry about it again for decades. Plus, the finish is much sharper, giving your home an immediate boost in kerb appeal.

We all know the weather in the North East can turn in an instant. When a heavy downpour hits Alford, you need to know your gutters can handle the volume. Have you noticed water cascading over the sides or damp patches appearing on your external walls? That is a clear sign your rainwater system is failing. We install everything from standard half-round gutters to deep-flow systems specifically designed for properties with large roof areas. We make sure every downpipe is perfectly aligned and the "fall" is just right, so water flows away from your foundations rather than into them. No more sagging plastic or leaky joints – just a system that works, even in the middle of a November storm.

Looking to give your home a bit of a facelift? uPVC or composite cladding is a fantastic way to transform the look of dormers, gable ends, or even a new extension without the constant upkeep of wood. It is not just about aesthetics, though; it adds an extra layer of protection against the biting winds we often get blowing through Aberdeenshire. We offer a range of colours and finishes, so whether you want a classic white look or something more contemporary like anthracite grey to match modern window frames, we can help you find the perfect fit. It is a simple upgrade that makes a massive difference to how your property feels and performs.

It is often the things you cannot see that cause the most trouble. Over time, the roofing felt at the edge of your eaves can perish and sag, allowing water to pond and eventually rot your roof timbers. When we replace your roofline, we typically install felt trays (eaves protection) to bridge that gap and ensure water goes exactly where it should – straight into the gutter. While we are up there, we can also fit discreet bird combs. These keep starlings and other feathered friends from nesting under your tiles, saving you from a lot of noise and the inevitable mess they leave behind. It is all part of our thorough approach to keeping your roof in top shape.
