Enhance Exteriors was commissioned to undertake a comprehensive upgrade of the roofline on a charming bungalow located in Biggleswade. The existing timber fascia and soffit had succumbed to the elements, showing signs of rot, peeling paint, and general wear, detracting significantly from the property’s curb appeal. The accompanying guttering and downpipes were also outdated, inefficient, and aesthetically unpleasing. Our mission was to provide a durable, low-maintenance, and visually appealing solution that would not only protect the property but also enhance its overall value and modernise its appearance.
The Challenge:
The primary challenge involved the safe and efficient removal of the old, often fragile, timber elements and their replacement with a robust, long-lasting UPVC system. Careful consideration was given to minimizing disruption to the homeowner and ensuring the structural integrity of the roofline throughout the process. Access for a bungalow was straightforward, but attention to detail was paramount to achieve a flawless finish.
Our Solution:
Our skilled team at Enhance Exteriors meticulously executed the following scope of work:
- Safe Removal of Existing Elements:
- Careful and controlled removal of all existing timber fascia and soffit, ensuring no damage to the underlying roof structure or exterior walls.
- Dismantling and disposal of the old, worn-out guttering and downpipes, adhering to all environmental regulations.
- Preparation and Inspection:
- Thorough cleaning and inspection of the exposed eaves and roofline to identify any potential underlying issues, such as rotten rafter ends or damp, which were promptly addressed before installation.
- Ensuring the structural integrity of the roof timbers to provide a solid foundation for the new UPVC system.
- Installation of Premium UPVC Fascia and Soffit:
- Installation of high-quality, lead-free, white UPVC fascia boards, providing a clean, bright, and durable finish that perfectly complements the bungalow’s existing aesthetic.
- Precision fitting of white UPVC soffit panels, ensuring adequate ventilation to the roof space, preventing condensation and timber decay. Our UPVC products are known for their resistance to discolouration, cracking, and warping.
- Upgrade to Black Deep Flow Guttering and Downpipes:
- Installation of robust black deep flow guttering. This advanced system is designed for superior water carrying capacity, effectively managing heavy rainfall and preventing overflow, thereby protecting the property’s foundations and exterior.
- Matching black deep flow downpipes were strategically installed to ensure efficient water drainage away from the property, completing the sleek and modern look.
Materials Used:
- Fascia and Soffit: Premium grade, virgin UPVC in brilliant white, known for its UV stability and long-term durability.
- Guttering and Downpipes: High-capacity, deep flow UPVC in black, engineered for maximum water efficiency and resilience against all weather conditions.
- Fixings: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel fixings for enduring strength and security.
Results and Benefits for the Client:
The transformation of this Biggleswade bungalow was truly remarkable. The new UPVC roofline has delivered a multitude of benefits to the homeowner:
- Enhanced Curb Appeal: The clean, crisp white fascia and soffit, coupled with the sleek black guttering, have dramatically improved the bungalow’s exterior appearance, giving it a modern and well-maintained look.
