Plastic uPVC is the most common type of guttering used in the UK and can come in many different shapes and sizes. Plastics are the most cost-efficient way of replacing your guttering and have many installation benefits; from its easy use to its ability to be used in awkward spaces. Upvc is also now available in shapes and sizes to imitate cast Iron. UPVC Guttering, fascias and soffits require very little maintenance over its lifespan. Just keep the gutter lining clear and wipe down as and when required with a uPVC Cleaning product.

Using solar panels is a great way to generate clean and renewable electricity to power remote appliances, or even the average home. The main form of solar cells in existence today is solar hot water panels. Solar water heating systems allow the use of free heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water. Most solar water heating systems come with a 5-10 year warranty and require little maintenance. Every year your solar panels should be thoroughly checked for signs of damage in-keeping with the warranty.

RKS Roofing Contractors as a company carry out all types of re-roofs - from main roofs and industrial buildings to small porches or outhouses. Our qualified team of roofers are able to carry out work in traditional and new methods. Slate re-roofs - Slate is a natural product unlike many other roof products; it is more expensive than artificial man-made products i.e. concrete tiles but has a greater life span and is exceptionally durable in comparison. Slates have an expected life span of 75 years compared with as little as 12 years for artificial materials such as concrete tiles.

The eaves of a house are the part of the roof that overhangs the edge of the walls, keeping water clear from the walls, and preventing problems with water and damp seeping through into the building. To protect the rafters, boards are added to the edge and the underside of the eaves. These also provide a firm base to which to attach gutters. These boards are known as fascias and soffits. Over time, weather and ageing can cause decay, and you may find you need to repair your fascias and soffits. There can be problems with mould growth or with rotting wood, or perhaps the boards become discoloured or begin to peel and start to look shabby.
