There are many styles of guttering for homes available. Gutter styles differ in size and shape. The most common type of gutter used today is the open gutter which comes in standard lengths or roll formed seamless gutters which must be installed by a guttering installation contractor. Most residential gutters come in 5 inch and 6 inch and are made of either aluminium, steel, zinc, vinyl or copper and are a standard 'K' style. If you are choosing guttering and matching downpipes for your home or commercial property here are some styles that you may like to think about before purchasing.

Roof Smart Ltd employs only the highest level of professional roof slaters, whether it's a couple of slates you require replacing to a full re-roof, we can do it. We specialise in all types of slating; artificial cement fibre slates, artificial Cambrian Slates, Natural Welsh Slates and Spanish Slates. The dictionary definition of slate is 'A fine-grained grey, green, or bluish-purple metamorphic rock easily split into smooth, flat plates. It is the finest grained foliated metamorphic rock'. First recorded on a domestic roof as early as 1300AD in North Wales, slate for most people was too expensive and was used on castles and other military establishments.

If you are looking at having a new roof, then there are two main options to consider - a flat roof or a pitched roof. Having a flat roof means you are able to have a higher ceiling level and more space and while this might be a great thing, it does have an impact on how a room is lit up as it can create dark areas in a room. Luckily, modern LED lights mean that dark areas can be lit up much better and can look nice when installed into the ceiling. Some properties have much less headroom upstairs with a pitched roof as the roof is part of the ceiling.

Gutter cleaning is essential in maintaining clear running gutters. With the amount of rainfall the UK gets each year keeping your gutters cleaned and maintained on a regular basis will prevent water damage to other parts of your building. Water damage, caused by blocked gutters, can have serious consequences for the structure of a building. With regular gutter cleaning and maintenance, you can prevent building damage and damage to your gutters. When clogged gutters backup with rainwater your gutters can be damaged and pulled away from the building, as well as causing the fascia and soffits to rot if they are made from wood.

Fascias, soffits and guttering perform two vital functions for a house. Firstly, they all play an important part in protecting a property and avoiding damage to the structure of the building. They do this by keeping out rain and damp which can cause considerable damage. Another way they protect a home is by keeping out pests that can enter through the roof and breed in the home. Fascias and soffits also help to improve the overall appearance of a house by providing a finishing touch to the join between the outer wall and the roof of your property.
