This case study details a roofline installation project in Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, completed for a domestic homeowner following concerns about the condition of the property’s existing fascias, soffits, gutters, and external cladding. While the roof itself had recently been coated by a third party, the surrounding roofline components showed clear signs of age, weathering, and long-term deterioration.
The project involved the full replacement of timber fascias and soffits, installation of new uPVC roofline systems, renewal of cladding panels, and corrective work to failing cement bedding on the gables. The outcome was a durable, low-maintenance roofline solution that restored both the appearance and weather protection of the home.
The client, Mr Horsburgh, is a homeowner in Kilmarnock who contacted us for professional advice after having his roof coated by another contractor. While the coating improved the roof’s appearance, he was concerned about the original timber fascias and soffits, particularly around the dormer sections and main roofline.
Mr Horsburgh wanted an honest assessment rather than a sales-driven opinion. His main priorities were:
Preventing further weather damage
Reducing future maintenance
Improving the overall appearance of the property
Ensuring all work was carried out properly and to a high standard
Upon inspection, it was clear that several key roofline elements were beyond repair.
The issues identified included:
Original timber fascias and soffits are showing signs of rot and long-term exposure
Poor-condition gutters and downpipes with limited capacity
Severely weathered cladding panels on the dormers and front gable
No protective membrane behind existing cladding
Failing cement bedding beneath tiles on the gable ends
Although the roof coating improved surface appearance, these underlying problems posed a risk of water ingress, hidden timber decay, and future repair costs if left unaddressed.
To provide a long-term solution, we recommended a complete roofline replacement, combined with new external cladding and corrective gable work.
The scope of work included:
Full removal of all existing timber fascias and soffits
Removal of outdated gutters and rainwater pipes
Installation of new uPVC fascias and soffits
Fitting of deep-flow guttering to improve water management
Replacement of all cladding panels to both dormers and the main front gable
Installation of a new building membrane behind cladding for added protection
Removal of defective cement bedding on the gables and installation of a modern alternative
This approach ensured the property was properly sealed, visually refreshed, and protected against future weather exposure.
All work was carried out with care to minimise disruption and maintain a clean, safe site throughout. The removal of old materials allowed us to inspect the underlying structure and ensure everything was sound before installing the new systems.
The new uPVC roofline products were chosen for their:
Long lifespan
Low maintenance requirements
Resistance to rot and moisture
Clean, modern appearance
Deep-flow gutters were installed to handle heavier rainfall, a practical upgrade well suited to Ayrshire’s climate.
Following completion of the roofline installation in Kilmarnock, the property now benefits from a fully renewed exterior roofline system that is both functional and visually improved.
Key outcomes included:
Complete removal of deteriorating timber components
Improved rainwater drainage capacity
Enhanced protection against future weather damage
Reduced ongoing maintenance requirements
A cleaner, more modern external appearance
The new roofline and cladding integrate seamlessly with the existing roof, providing reassurance that the property is protected for many years to come.
