A feature of many older properties is wooden facias and soffits along with metal gutters and down pipes which need regular painting and repair work to prevent rot and rust from taking hold. If you have rotten fascias or rusted metal gutters, water can enter the roof space or with gutters, water can run down external walls causing damp problems within the property. A solution to wooden fascias and metal gutters and down pipes are low maintenance PVCu gutters and fascias which come in a range of colours to suit your home. Plastic roofline products even come in a range of styles including metal look gutters and down pipes for period properties. Avon Home Improvements of Bournemouth install low maintenance replacement gutters and fascias for homeowners throughout Dorset and neighbouring areas of Hampshire.

The fascias, soffits and bargeboards are exposed to the weather all year round so need to be painted every 8 years or so to prevent rot and keep the maintenance costs to a minimum.
Plastic gutters and fascias will generally last up to 30 years due to advanced formulations during the manufacturing process.
PVC guttering is easy to keep clean. All that’s required is a twice yearly wipe down with a soft cloth and soapy water, or a proprietary PVC cleaner. Gutters may need to be cleared of leaves and debris every year if there are any trees close to your property.
