When uPVC was first introduced with double-glazing, many people took advantage of it, not only for the benefits that the double glazing itself will give, but also because of the smart appearance it gives the building. Following on from this, many people then started to add uPVC fascias to their homes, to tie in with their windows and front doors. Most new houses are now automatically built with uPVC fascia boards because of the numerous benefits it has over traditional wooden fascias.

UPVC is more cost effective, hardwearing and robust than wood. Wood rots and warps easily and soon becomes unattractive and in disrepair, as well as then providing a poor performance. The one advantage that wood has over uPVC is that it can be painted, so you can choose for your roofline, gates and piping all to follow a particular colour scheme. That said, having ‘coloured’ houses in this manner is now somewhat dated, and most people prefer the discreet look of uPVC as well as their ease of maintenance.

When you come to buy your uPVC fascias, you will find that DIY chains generally have high prices because they cater for ‘weekend builders’. Even if you think you are saving money on labour by being able to install your fascias yourself, you will be paying more for the product itself. At Bliby Plastics, we can supply you with everything you need at great low prices – just one of the many advantages of buying your building supplies online.

You might not have given much consideration to your guttering in the past, thinking that it is just there to serve a purpose of taking water off your roof, but when you do come to replace your gutters, there is plenty you should take into account.

For homeowners, probably the two primary considerations are how the guttering looks and how well it works. There are many materials that gutters can be made from, each coming with a different price tag and different functionality. UPVC guttering is available in many different sizes because it is so easy to shape. By being able to choose from different shapes, such as round, square or deepflow guttering, you can make sure your home has the best kind of guttering to protect it from rain downpours. Our uPVC guttering also comes with a 20 year warranty and a leak-free performance.

Cast iron guttering can be an extremely attractive feature of a property, but they are also highly robust and long-lasting. Another great feature about cast iron gutters as opposed to their uPVC counterparts, is that they can be painted different colours. Many homeowners choose to paint their guttering the same colour as their gates or front door, in order to give their home a unified look.

We have a large selection of different types of guttering and have been in the business for over 25 years supplying high quality products. We also make sure our prices are as low as they can be for these top quality products.

Although you may prefer just to ignore their existence until the time comes when they need replacing, you should dedicate some time to maintaining and looking after your guttering. It doesn’t matter whether you have cast iron or uPVC guttering, you will still need to make sure you clear out your gutters every year to keep them in good condition, and prevent them from needing replacing as quickly.

During the autumn, as the trees shed their leaves, these can accumulate in your guttering. Consequently, the best time to start your clear out is at the start of winter, particularly before the snow and ice create additional problems for your drainage pipes. The autumn also brings a lot of rainfall, which is another reason why you need your gutters to perform to their best.

Clearing your gutters is actually quite simple using a scraper or trowel, but if it isn’t done then you can end up with serious problems as the leaves and other debris build up and create a blockage, then causing your gutters to overflow. If you are not confident or able to clear your own gutters, then there are also plenty of professionals who can provide this service for you.

If you’re still worried about leaves and debris then going down your drainage pipe and causing a blockage there, you can cover the top with chicken wire, which will prevent anything much larger than the rainfall from going down. However, this method will then require more regular clearing than once a year.

When you work in the building trade, you want to know that there is a wide range of materials available to you at all times. No doubt your customers will also prefer having a good amount of choice when they are trying to decide what they want for their home improvements, and having this choice can help you get more custom. We have a wide range of cast iron and plastic guttering, cladding, piping, fascias and sheets for all your needs at everyday great low prices.

This time of year in particular can get very busy for tradesmen, as the bad weather can cause numerous problems around the home. Existing drainage pipes and fascias can weaken and crack in the cold weather, particularly if they are old and have suffered through many years of cold winters. Your customers may take this opportunity for guttering and fascia replacement to revamp this part of their home, especially if they have not given it much consideration before.

As an expert in your field, you will know better than most how using cheap products can affect their performance, and how this can then reflect on you and your business. At Bliby Plastics, we make sure we always supply you quality products at the lowest prices possible, so you can keep your customers happy and gain extra business through word of mouth and a great reputation. Buying your materials online from us means that we can keep our prices low and maintain high levels of all the stock you need.

If you suspect that your guttering might need replacing, then we can help you get all the quality supplies you need at a fantastic low price. Not every problem that you may experience will need a complete replacement, so if you’re unsure always seek professional advice. However, we’ve put together some tips below to help you work out how serious the problem is.

UPVC guttering is not quite as long lasting as gutters made form cast iron or pressed steel, and when your gutters are on their way out, you will start to notice cracks and leaks. Unfortunately, this very often means that your gutters will need replacing, although you may only need to replace certain sections rather than the whole lot. Leaks can often be repaired easily with a sealant, which we also have available on our site.

While cast iron guttering is used because it is hardwearing and long-lasting, like everything else it will suffer wear and tear and eventually need replacing. One way to extend its life is by giving it a regular paint job to avoid rusting, but if the joints start to leak then it may be because they have become too rusty. Severe rust can also lead to holes in your gutters, in which case they will most likely need to be replaced.

A professional will be able to easily replace any gutters for you, but if you fancy having a go yourself then always remove the old guttering carefully so as not to cause any damage to your roof.
