Services
Guttering Systems
We provide comprehensive guttering solutions for domestic and commercial properties. Our systems include half-round, square line, and deep flow options in both plastic and cast iron materials. Each installation includes proper pitch calculation and secure mounting to prevent sagging and water retention issues.
Soffits and Fascias
Our PVCu soffit and fascia installations protect properties from weather damage. Available in white or black, these components prevent moisture ingress at roof edges while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The materials resist rotting and require minimal maintenance over decades of service.
Hedgehog Gutter Guard
This stainless steel core gutter guard prevents leaf blockages with polypropylene bristles. Designed to adapt to any gutter shape, it allows easy cleaning while maintaining continuous water flow. The durable construction lasts over 20 years without degradation from weather exposure.
Pest Control
Our Buzz Off service handles wasp nests, bee swarms, and rodent infestations using humane methods. We employ non-toxic treatments and physical removal techniques that comply with environmental regulations. Emergency callouts are available for urgent pest problems affecting properties.
Water Butts
We install rainwater harvesting systems that connect to existing drainpipes. Our water butts store hundreds of gallons for garden use, reducing mains water consumption. The systems include automatic diverters that direct overflow to ground drains when full.
