black seamless aluminium gutters on black pvc fascia


On saturday we fitted black seamless aluminium gutters onto black pvc fascia and the result was perfect, the advantage of the black seamless gutters is the colour fastness of the black compared to black pvc gutters.
because of the direct sunlight the pvc gutters would in time fade to a grey colour around the edges, where the aluminium keeps the colour permanently, Also the pvc comes in short lengths and is inclined to expand and contract with temperature change, and it can "creep" from the joiners causing leaks

Rained on in Clondalkin


Today we had just to return to Bushfield in Clondalkin to finish off a house we started on friday but due to the weather we had to postpone until today.
It is a semi detached house with an apex roof with a small apex to the front also.
The client wanted white supreme upvc gutters to the front and rear upper levels.
It turned out well and the client is happy, and that's the most important thing to us.

cowboys in artane

You would never quess what happened today, I get a call from a distressed client asking me to come over to his address in artane to price replaceing gutters on his house.
I agree a time and call over to see him.

when i arrive he points up to the eaves at the front of his and his neighbours house and says "look! no gutters, I had to threaten to call the police to get rid of them".

I new immediately what had happened, These guys knock on the door, say that they are doing your neighbours gutters and will do you a good deal while they are in the area.
They have also told the same story to your neighbour.

They then get a ladder and pull down some of the guttering so that theres no going back and you can't send them away, This is there way of intimidating you into letting them carry on instead of throwing them off your property.

This man threw them off his property but that left him and his neighbour without any gutters on the front of their houses, but he said he was uncomfortable with them on his property and would put it down to experience.

These people are just chancers trying to rip off unsuspecting home owners by offering "cheap" work.

Legitimate craftsmen have to abide by the law and have insurance and registration costs, pay vat and prsi, and people think they are saving money by hiring these cowboys!
I am posting a price to repair the damage caused and I bet I will be told I'm to dear!

Thank God for white pvc

Yet another white upvc house done today, It is by far the most popular.
I prefer the black gutter on white fascia board myself.
today was the eavemaster vented soffit, ogee moulded white fascia and the eavemaster supreme upvc gutter and downpipes.
It was a mid terrace house so it didn't take to long.
The customer was happy and that is the most important thing.

portmarnock picture


Here is a photo of a couple of houses we worked on in ardilaun. White eavemaster soffit, fascia, and supreme guttering.
I find this combination is a perfect colour match, all of the materials are manufactured by the same company using the same colour code.
This leads to a perfect colour match every time.
The gutter joints have an excellent sealing quality and we prefer to use them rather than any other pvc gutter.

Passionate in Portmarnock

Today We finished up working on three semi detached houses in portmarnock, We first started on one house for our original customer and the neighbours were impressed with out work and our prices so we continued on to the remaining two.
All of them wanted white vented soffit, white ogee 10mm fascia with a white eavemaster supreme gutter.
Speaking to one of my customers he pointed out something that i should have remarked upon myself as I have also come across it on several occasions, That is the habit of some of these gutter installers to put screws through the downpipe to secure it to the gutter, This causes the build up of debris in the outlet leading to blocage and overflow. We at Gutterman.ie use pop rivets for this task. Its just another one of those unseen differances between proffessionals and cowboys.
Feel free to call Me with any query.
