Finlock Gutter Removal Wiltshire, Somerset, Avon, Hampshire, Dorset, Devon.
- 10-3-10

FINLOCK GUTTER REMOVAL COSTS IN SOME CASES LESS THAN FITTING LINERS (WHICH WILL FAIL). . You then have modern upvc fascias & new upvc gutters. Some companys are asking 3-4 times more than this, WHY ?
I would like to mention some facts regarding scaffolding, unlike some companies who use ladders and walkways, we are fully compliant with Health & Safety of which clearly states any platforms erected must be suitable for its use, several tons of concrete falls into this with the use of a full load bearing scaffold. LADDERS AND QUICK FORM TOWERS , LADDER BOARDS are not a safe practice and no matter what you have been told would not comply to these regulations. The main use of this type of access is for painting, In fact as you are aware or may not be aware it would fall fully on you to cover any damages, injuries, or death as the contractors insurance would refuse cover if known of this practice. I would rather not obtain the contract and risk all to make my quote the cheapest, I hope you understand my position and hopefully yours, it would be very wise to contact the Health & Safety office local to you as this will confirm what I am stating is fact. Flouting these regulations bring fines of Tens of thousands and prison terms.This applies to single storey buildings as well.




We are C.I.T.B, FairTrades and HomePro Registered and also hold the Government Trustmark. We carry full employer & public liabilty insurance up to £5,000,000.00p
Finlock gutters are integral part of your roof, so unlike window companys, come gutter & fascia fitters, we are perfectly placed to deal with all problems that may/may not arise and would not have to sub out work and hire a roofing company if required. It could be attached flat roofs for instance or another roofing issue.
That is why dealing with a roofing company would be an advantage to you.
We carefully cut off existing concrete gutter sections being very carefull not to use force removing them, as can be seen in some company videos where extreme force is used, using the windows to lever on etc, once removed we fit a timber flush to wall and fix using concrete fixing bolts to a depth of 150mm this guarantees no future movement and will carry the tile load etc. We DO NOT EXTEND RAFTER LEGS AS THIS IN OUR OPINION IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE HEAVY LOADS OVER TIME BEARING DOWN ON A FEW NAILS HOLDING THE EXTENDED LEGS.We then fix all plastics please note you will see no nails apart from box ends, it does not have to look riveted with nails everywhere. We then fit your new gutters.
Please note we only fit DEEPFLOW GUTTERS, which carry twice as much water than standard 4" gutters (WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE FITTED).
Unlike some traders we will not cold call, we strictly call on invite only and I would strongly advise that you do not deal with cold callers, they could be anybody, anyway why would they be looking for work in that manner in the first place. BE WARNED
We can remove them with no internal damage what-so-ever for the price of which some traders are charging just to fit galvanised liners.
We only cover and work in the following areas. Wiltshire, Somerset, Avon, Hampshire. For other areas please enquire, as we can make arrangements.
Finlock gutters are made from concrete sections and shaped concrete liners. (Please check diagram below)There are thousands and thousands of houses all over the country that have them fitted. If you are unlucky to own a house that has them fitted then you are fully aware of the problems with them, mainly leaking which can seep into the rooms. You may also have black stains around the walls near the ceiling which is called cold bridging.

You may have already spent hundreds of pounds repairing them, which will buy you time but it wont cure the problem as normally houses with these are normally in a row, and maybe the house each side will not maintain theirs which makes any repair to yours pointless.
You may of heard that to remove these are expensive and cause a lot of internal damage which results in the top half of the house needing major internal works and re-decorating etc. Some companys still do it that way, but then they arent paying for it.
So why put up with it, once there gone, there gone FOREVER, and your house will look like it should, new upvc fascias and gutters, so you dont even need to paint in the future. And of course the black marks on the internal walls can be cleaned and will never return.
There are pictures in our gallery section showing before removal and after there gone, we will be adding more soon.
The process of the removal of the concrete finlock guttering is simple if carried out correctly. It's not a long procedure (approximately two days) per household. But there are certain issues that need to be addressed, the first being safety.
The removal of concrete finlock guttering is heavy, dirty and if not carried out by a specialist team of professionals could be dangerous due to the large sections of concrete that have to be taken away.
Thats why S. F. Roofing won't cut corners or take chances.

We cant offer £500.00p off just for placing a name board, quite simply we dont make that much money from you to make such an offer, Secondly we carefully work out a price based on our survey, once given we CANNOT lower it to beat other quotes. It is a fair honest price for the best materials and good workmanship we cannot lower our standards to beat someone using cheaper products etc. I am sure you will understand as we have all seen the window salesman ploys and we all know how it works, I WILL NOT INSULT YOUR INTELLIGENCE THAT WAY, honest trading is how I have always based my company on. You only have to watch rouge traders to see that in action.
We can also with all correct information, measurements and google street view and confirmation of address price on that basis.
