Welcome to The roofing directory
Roofing services gutter systems are commonly available in three shapes: half-round, square and ogee (OG). Half-round and square types rest in brackets fixed to the UPVC fascias and soffits, fascia board, rafters or brickwork. Ogee section was often screwed directly to the fascia using large head screws through the back of the guttering, alternatively it was supported on brackets. Generally metal guttering was not fixed to the brackets, the weight of it being sufficient to hold it in place. Where Ogee is screwed to the fascia, it is often found that the screw heads rust away making them impossible to unscrew and, sometimes, making the whole guttering dangerous as there is little screw head material holding it in place. Rainwater systems from our roofing services are lightweight, durable and are generally self-coloured (generally limited to white, black, brown or grey). Fascia guttering is available in half-round, ogee, square section and a number of other profiles sometimes unique to a particular manufacturer. Each manufacturer tend to have their own arrangements for fixing and joining; some use brackets and separate joining clips, whilst others use brackets incorporating the joining clips.
