Fascias Soffits Guttering in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire

Timber looks nice when it is first fitted, but in our climate, it doesn't take long for the paint to peel and the wood to start holding moisture. UPVC is completely weather-proof and won't rot, warp, or crack regardless of how much it rains. Once it is installed, you can basically forget about it. It comes in a range of colours and styles, from classic white to modern anthracite grey, so it will match your existing windows and doors perfectly.

The most obvious signs are flaking paint, soft spots in the wood, or visible rot. You might also see gaps where the boards meet or notice that the gutters are pulling away from the house because the wood behind them is too soft to hold the screws. If you see any of these, it is best to act quickly. Replacing them now is a lot cheaper than waiting until the rafters underneath start to decay.

In many older Aberdeenshire homes, the roofing felt at the very edge of the roof can perish over time. This leads to water ponding and eventually rotting the timber. We install eaves protection trays that sit under the tiles to guide water directly into the gutter, even if the felt has worn away. Adding bird combs at the same time stops starlings and sparrows from getting into your loft space, which prevents mess and noise issues during the spring.

Absolutely. While white UPVC is the most common choice, we offer a variety of wood-grain effects and solid colours like black or grey. Whether you have a traditional granite cottage or a modern new-build in Westhill, we can provide a finish that complements the architecture. We also offer different guttering shapes, such as deep-flow or square profiles, depending on how much water your roof needs to shift.

The cost usually depends on the size of your house and how easy it is to reach the roofline. We provide clear, fixed quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Regular cleaning is a small investment that prevents much bigger bills for damp repairs or foundation issues caused by overflowing water. If your gutters are sagging or leaking at the joints, we can often carry out a quick repair or realignment at the same time.

If you have a dormer window or an extension that is currently covered in old timber or tired-looking tiles, UPVC cladding is a fantastic upgrade. It adds an extra layer of protection against the elements and helps with insulation. Just like our fascias and soffits, it is maintenance-free and gives the exterior of your home a clean, modern look that lasts for decades.
