It is available in two styles to suit different types of building. We also supply a Commercial Plus 150mm alternative to the Universal range. These are ideal for very large roofs and commercial/industrial properties (these are only available in black though).

All of the above are available in a choice of either round or square down pipes. So no matter what type of Gutter Installation in Swindon you’re looking for, we have the range to suit your needs.

We can also supply and install traditional Aluminium Guttering, Cast Iron Guttering and robust Commercial Guttering

Metal Rainwater Systems

Aluminium Guttering

Moulded Aluminium Guttering and downpipes

Metal guttering is more robust and durable than uPVC. But it’s not the right choice for every property. Our Aluminium Guttering is very popular with owners of Heritage and Listed properties, as it’s traditional aesthetic matches the architecture of many of these buildings. Cast Aluminium Guttering is the perfect mix of heritage appearance and modern performance and can last for anywhere between 25 and 40 years with the right maintenance. It’s also lighter than cast iron and steel so suitable for more properties. And environmentally, the aluminium is 100% recyclable.

Not every property will suit Cast Aluminium Guttering. So that’s why we can supply and install a range of Modern Contemporary Aluminium Guttering. This range is designed to look like contemporary guttering but with all the advantages of cast aluminium guttering. Again, it’s incredibly durable, lasting 25 – 40 years and finished in high quality powder coating. These ranges are available in Half Round, Deep Half Round, Moulded and Box gutter profiles.

All profiles come with matching downpipes and accessories.

Both ranges are available in 26 different RAL colours, with the cast aluminium guttering also available in 5 textured finishes. 

These ranges are order only with a lead time of 3 to 15 days, so bear that in mind if this is the rainwater system you want to choose.

Cast Iron Guttering

Like aluminium guttering, Cast Iron Guttering is more robust and durable than uPVC. It’s ideal for heritage or listed properties. In fact this type of guttering system is specified for any restoration work in conservation areas. This type of guttering has 100 of years of history and its exceptional durability means it can last for at least 50 years.

Cast Iron Guttering is available in a variety of profiles including Half Round, Beaded Half Round, Victorian Ogee and Moulded Ogee. If you choose Foundry Cast Iron gutters they come in additional profiles including box and deep.

You also have a choice of finish. Order either primed or factory painted. The pre-painted range comes in 8 standard RAL colours. Primed means you can paint your guttering in the colour you choose.

If you have an older property, heritage property or listed property, cast iron guttering is the ideal choice for you to keep the traditional feel of your property whilst benefiting from a long lasting, problem free rainwater system.

Please be aware that some colours and profiles are subject to longer lead times. Call our friendly team for a free quotation and more realistic idea on timescales.

Cast Iron Guttering

Copper and Zinc Guttering

copper guttering

Copper and Zinc guttering is the stylish and sustainable choice for both heritage and contemporary properties where you want to stand out.

With a life expectancy of 50-100 + years, 100% recyclable at the end of their long, useful lives they offer an eco-friendly, low maintenance and sustainable drainage system option.

We can supply and install a range of copper and zinc (in both natural and quartz) and all the associated accessories.

Copper Guttering is available in Half Round profile and comes with matching brackets, downpipes, bends and outlets.

Zinc Guttering is available in box profile and similarly can be supplied in matching downpipes and accessories.

If you have an older property, heritage property or listed property, copper or zinc guttering can add a real statement to your property while keeping that traditional, all whilst benefiting from a long lasting, problem free rainwater system.

Please be aware that both copper and zinc will appear shiny on first installation but will weather over time, arguably adding to their stunning looks.

Steel Guttering

Galvanised steel guttering is probably the most affordable when it comes to metal rainwater systems.

Steel guttering is sleek and stylish and suits both heritage and contemporary properties. And it’s really eco friendly as it can be 100% recycled at the end of its lifespan. 

We can supply and install a range of steel guttering systems and all the associated accessories. And it comes in different colours, not just galvanised steel finish. The 8 colours include anthracite grey through to white or sepia brown.

Steel Guttering is available in Half Round and box profiles and comes with matching brackets, downpipes, bends and outlets.

No matter the style of your property, steel guttering can add a real statement to the look and feel of your building all whilst benefiting from a long lasting product that lasts for 25 years or more if maintained properly.

The picture shown is a recent installation we carried out in Anthracite Grey.

Fascia

Fascia Soffit Replacement Swindon
Anthracite Grey Fascias and guttering
White fascia - Fascia Soffit Replacement Swindon
Gloss white fascia boards

The fascia is the front piece of the roofline. It is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of the roof. It’s also the piece that the guttering is attached to and usually does all the work of supporting the lower edge of the bottom row of roof tiles. 

In addition it has to bear the weight of the water in the guttering. In a downpour, a typical 3 bed house will wash several gallons of rainwater per second into the gutters. So effectively it holds all of this weight. That’s why it’s absolutely vital it’s undamaged and properly fitted.

When it comes to Fascia and Soffit Replacement in Swindon, our range of Fascia are available in 9mm capping or 18mm replacement coming in different styles and different colours to suit your needs. 9mm capping is used when capping over existing timber or the 18mm replacement is used when removing the wood.

You may have heard the descriptions uPVC, PVCu and PVCUe in relation to fascias, soffits and bargeboards. In simple terms, PVC stands for polyvinyl chlorate, the hard plastic like substance that these products are made from. The “u” stands for “unplasticised”. Put simply this means it’s not pliable. This is important based on the weight it’s designed to hold. The “e” stands for “expanded”. These are generally lighter and stronger boards than rigid PVC. The boards are also thicker than normal and have become very  popular nowadays.

Soffit

Soffits are present where a roof has an overhang. They’re used to keep out the cold and damp and are tucked away under the fascia board. So these are the parts that you see most of from street level. Our range of Soffit boards are available in several different styles, all complementing our matching fascia board range. All our soffit boards are made from premium quality components and they’re really easy to maintain.

Soffit can be ventilated, allowing air flow into the roof areas. This ensures your loft space is kept well ventilated at all times, especially important as this can be a major source of damp. Our 9mm Eurosoffit boards come with 10mm or 25mm slots that are built in.

Ventilation doesn’t have to come from the soffit, a more popular solution these days is over the top of the fascia board. Regardless of the method, ventilation is vital as without it condensation will form in the roof space which can lead to timber decay.

Soffit Boards - Fascia Soffit Replacement Swindon

9mm Solid Utility boards are a simpler solution but they can also be fitted with separate disc vents to allow air flow in the loft area. And for a more cost effective option, our Hollow soffit boards are much more lightweight. These too can be fitted with ventilators if needed. As with all our roofline products all 4 options come in a variety of colours.

Bargeboards

Bargeboards are used on the gable end of the house and protect the exposed timbers. Bargeboards aren’t present on all houses but, where they are, they are normally quite visible so their condition is important to the outward appearance of your home.

They don’t generally provide any structural support so can be decorative in style if desired. But they play an important role in keeping the roof lining dry and protecting your roof timbers. When fitted correctly they ensure there are no holes or gaps around the edge of your roof. They are often known as rake fascia.

Depending on the style and era of your house they can provide an eye catching decorative touch, further enhancing your properties kerb appeal.

The bargeboards we supply and install are primarily uPVC and come in different styles and colours to match the fascia, soffit and downpipes.
