UPVC Roofline & Guttering Ayr

Provide your home with a modern clean cut face lift with our UPVC packages. Cladding is the application of one material over another to provide a skin or layer intended to control the infiltration of weather elements, or for aesthetic purposes. Cladding does not necessarily have to provide a waterproof condition but is instead a control element. This control element may only serve to safely direct water or wind in order to control run-off and prevent infiltration into the building structure.

UPVC offers a strong waterproof external protection for your property and is quite often more cost effective than maintaining or replacing wooden cladding. Burnbank Roofing offer a complete UPVC cladding package covering consultation, planning, design & construction.

Guttering and Drainage

Guttering is used on properties to direct unwanted rainwater from your roof, over time gutters can gather dry leaves, collect moss, develop mould or dislodged slates can become trapped. If too much unwanted materials gather in the gutter, it will reduce the drainage of water causing iron gutters to rust or break away. Additionally, in the winter months if water does not drain from the gutter it can lead to ice damage, forcing you to replace the gutter.

A gutter that is blocked with debris will not function correctly. The accumulation of dry leaves and debris will prevent water from flowing down the gutter into the down pipes. This means that excess rainwater will overspill out of the sides of the gutter and on to the exterior walls of your property. This over time will require expensive repairs and painting to restore the appearance of your property. Additionally, a blocked gutter can lead to a rusted gutter that will require replacement.

Trapped Water

The water trapped in the gutter can freeze in winter and weigh down the gutter, causing damage to the gutter and the roof. In extreme cases, we have seen gutters become so heavy with ice they have broken away from their fixings causing untold damage. All of these issues can be avoided by ensuring that the gutters are cleaned regularly.
