Fascias, soffits and guttering in Newark
New fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes, with the roof edge underneath put right first.
Guttering is the cheapest thing on a house to put right and one of the dearest to ignore. Water running down brickwork for two winters costs more to make good than the gutter ever would. We fit fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes across Newark-on-Trent and the surrounding villages.
What goes wrong
Gutters block, sag on tired brackets, or part at a joint and drip in one spot until the brick beneath goes green and soft. The fascia behind rots where the felt was cut short and rain has been landing on bare timber for years. Soffits follow, and once there is a gap in one, birds find it. None of it is dramatic and all of it is progressive.
Doing the edge, not just the plastic
Capping over rotten timber with new boards looks like a finished job and is not one. We take the old boards off, look at the rafter feet and the felt behind, and put right what we find before the new goes on. Where the felt has perished at the eaves we fit a support tray so water runs into the gutter rather than behind it. It is invisible from the ground and it is the difference between a job that lasts and one that photographs well.
Older brickwork wants care
Plenty of Newark's older housing has soft, handmade brick and lime mortar, and a bracket driven into that carelessly does damage that is not worth the time saved. Fixings go into the fascia and the rafter feet, not into whatever is nearest, and on an older property that matters more than it does on a modern estate.
Timing
If the roof is being done this is the moment, because the scaffold is up and doing it later means paying for access twice. If the roof is sound we work off ladders or a tower and it is quick. Free written quote, price quoted is the price paid, five or ten year guarantee.

What people say
In their words, not ours
One of the problems of finding a roofer when you are an older person is the thought of being scammed, especially given the increasing numbers of rogue traders together with the high costs at stake especially if the work is poor or non existent. We trawled a lot of roofers and found varying prices and limited experience and ‘one man bands’ offering little or no guarantees for their work. We came across Fred’s newly formed EverCrest Property Care Ltd Company and were initially concerned at the limited 3 months or so that they had been trading for, albeit that Fred had been a Sole Trader for some 6 years. So we undertook a ‘due diligence’ on the company and found they had worked on a limited number of roofing projects in the start up time. However having had a number of positive conversations with Fred we decided to give his company a chance having had a very good response and price to our required specification that formed the basis of our Building Control Application through Boston Borough Council. They say you can only make a first impression once and EverCrest Property Care Ltd certainly made an excellent impression indeed, in fact the work they undertook was first class and our Building Control Inspector was equally impressed with the standard of works they carried out. Our project involved replacing a main roof on a detached property and likewise on a kitchen extension. Work commenced on a Friday with the scaffolding being erected along with the delivery of two skips. On the Monday morning around 8:30am a team of 7 arrived on site and by 10am both roofs had been stripped and the Building Inspector was called early to check out the structure prior to the roofers installing the new insulation, membrane and battening in readiness for the new soffits, guttering and tiles being installed from Tuesday onwards. By Thursday the project had been completed and the Building Inspector returned first thing Friday morning and signed off the work having been impressed with the finished work. On the basis of the above experience we would have no hesitation in recommending EverCrest Property Care Ltd as a suitable and very experienced roofing contractor and would be happy to give any references to their standard of works.

Before you ring
Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Newark: common questions
Can you just clear my gutters?
Yes, and sometimes that is all that is wrong. We will tell you if the system is sound and merely full rather than turning a clearance into a replacement.
How do I know if the fascia is rotten?
Usually you cannot from the ground, which is why we look before quoting. Flaking paint, a dipping gutter line or green staining down the wall are all worth a call.
What is a felt support tray?
A strip that carries the bottom edge of the roofing felt out over the gutter. If your eaves felt has perished and curled back, water is running behind the gutter instead of into it, and a tray fixes that properly.
Will you match my existing guttering?
Where you want the run to stay consistent, yes. Where the existing system is too small for the roof we will say so and explain what a deep flow profile would change.
