Winter is upon us now and we are getting heaps of rain, more than we have seen in years. May had its biggest fall in ten years and June looks like it will break records as well.Now is a good time to give your home a full inspection. If you ignore your abode you could end up with major problems such as water damage inside and under your home.  Check for poor drainage, broken roof tiles ,flashings around flues & chimneys, missing cement on ridge capping , rusty gutters & downpipes , clean out all gutters & valleys to remove debris eg.leaves & mulch . Check walls and floors for mould. Water running down the walls on the inside of your home is not only very upsetting and costly to repair, it is also dangerous . If it gets onto power points it can cause a fire.

In your garden inspect pavers & deckings for slippery moss .Dampn ess from water pooling on your lawns or in gardens  around the home can attract termites.

How do we go about solving these problems ? some of the tasks may need  professional help eg. plumbers etc .

Roof tiles and metal roof repairs, pointing up ridge capping , replacing guttering, downpipes etc. must be performed  by  licensed tradspeople eg.specialist roof plumbers .

Installation of a quality leafscreen over guttering & valleys will stop leaves blocking your roofs drainage system & prevent vermin entering the roof cavity.It also helps to catch a larger flow of filtered clean water into rainwater tanks.

Blocked drains can be cleared using an electric eel which can be hired from Kennards or call a plumber who deals with drains .

Dampness! you may need to install better drainage around your home ie. dig trenches, install agro pipes and then fill with blue metal  gravel .

Moss on pavers etc. can be cleaned using high pressure sprayers and chemicals. 

.

With all the rain spring has produced lets hope winter is a little kinder to us . If you have had your gutters and downpipes replaced and your gutters are still overflowing or back flowing into your eaves, bubbling the paint & running down the walls inside or outside .

[Q] Should I get my roof restoration done before or after gutters installed ?

[A] The best way is to get the cleaning done but not the painting or pointing . This must be done after new guttering is installed to get a great looking job.

[Q] Is there a gutter on the market that has a high back and low front to stop water overflowing the back and in to the eaves ?

[A] Yes Ogee gutter has a high back 95mm and lower front 85mm , If any downpipe blockages occur  the water would overflow the front of the gutter and on to the ground .

[Q] What causes gutters to overfloiw ?

[A] Blocked drains or downpipes , not enough downpipes or they are too small , gutter sloping wrong way .

[Q] How long will it take to install my gutters and downpipes ?

[A] Usually in one day . It depends on how many metres you have on your house and what type of gutters .

[Q] How do I choose between colour bond or aluminium guttering ?

[A] well this is more a personal taste. Both have lots of colours to choose from .Aluminium will not rust and has a high back , colour bond is stronger for leaning a ladder on 

[Q] We both work .Does someone have to be home when installation is taking place ?.

[A] No. All work is done from the outside and all the tools we use are cordless .The only requirement is  access around the yard.

[Q] Price how much does it cost to have gutters replaced ?

[A] Well it depends on what style of gutter you have , how many downpipes and how meny metres there are . So not to milead you with guesses ,we give free on site quotes six days a week.                                                                                                                                  

 [Q] Can we have leaf screen installed to some gutters only not all ?

[A] Not a good thing to do if gutters are joined at the corners water will wash the leaves under the leaf guard and you would have problems removing them, If single runs of gutters its ok .
