white pvc fascia soffit and gutters
today we fitted a white upvc soffit and fascia with a white supreme eavemaster gutter to a house on the navan road.
It looks well and blends in with the brown windows.
problems with gutters
Here is a problem we encountered today with gutters, It is not the first time and it's one to be aware of.
A block of houses say six in a row, there are two downpipes; one at each end of the block.
When they were first built there was no problem because the gutters were fitted to the whole block and so were fitted ( or should have been ) with the highest point in the middle and the fall going towards each downpipe.
this would allow the rainwater to flow towards the downpipes at both ends therefore keeping the gutters dry and free from dirt and weeds.
Now along comes a man offering to fit new gutters to the houses at the end of the block, They get new gutters of a different depth and profile and upset the level not caring or Knowing what problems are left for the neighbours in the middle of the block!
Suddenly their rainwater has nowhere to go?.
this happens all over the city and is destroying the appearance and effectiveness of the rainwater disposal systems of houses in estate's in the city.
the only solution "apart from removing and refitting the neighbours gutters is to put extra downpipes into the middle of the block and allow the rainwater to run into the garden or out onto the road if the driveway is sloping away from the house.

black aluminium downpipes
today we used black heavy duty extruded aluminium on a building in leopardstown.
The client required something sturdy to protect against vandalism.
We fixed the black aluminium downpipe to the concrete with hidden fixings.

vandalproof or just vandal resistant
Today we had to fit new gutters and downpipes to ballyogan resource centre.
We were asked to fit a downpipe that would not be vandalised.
Unfortunately i think the more sturdy the fixture the more damage they cause to the building because they see this as a challenge.
I find the best deterrent is to paint everything with non drying paint, they think twice about getting the good levi's or cheeno's or nike gear destroyed.

white pvc soffit and fascia black seamless aluminium gutter in clonsilla
Today Victor and Stephen are in clonsilla repairing the timberwork and fitting white pvc soffit and fascia with black seamless aluminium gutter.
I delivered the goods to the site at 07.30 this morning and ran the gutter from the machine in the back of the truck, and left the lads at it while I visit the suppiers.
The weather is good so we should finish today.
