Question Plastic Fascias/Soffits, any recommendations?

We need to replace the fascia, soffit and guttering at the back of our house and were wondering if anyone knows of anyone local to us (south Essex).

Quite capable of doing it myself, but I'm not geared up for it, no tower or long ladders.

Have checked the occupation thread and the one name that does this (sti tony) doesn't seem to exist as a username.

Cheers in advance

Brian

I got mine from facias.com, and fitted them myself, well started to, still the back to do...

Amazing how cheap they are and how easy they are to fit, they even have install guides on their website

As Mark suggests the materials really are not expensive.

I have done a few for customers, and is not difficult.

I used Mr Plastic 0800 0288 055
or Gordons Trade Supplies Ltd 01268 571222,

factor in the cost of hiring a tower and it's a job you would find a doddle. (Warm weather only - mind you thats all jobs outside for me )

I always use Duraclad behind Rayleigh Karting, they always seem to be a little cheaper than Mr Plastic, and extremely helpful.

Must do my fascias, soffits and change the guttering as well ...... Just not got round to it .

Thanks for all the pointers.

Really looking for someone to supply & fit, because by the time I've mucked about getting the plastic and a tower here (wont fit in the van) I might aswell pay for it to be done by an installer who's got all the gear (unless they want silly money).

Brian I`got a stupidly large Sprinter van (extra long wheelbase and high roof) which, as long as its a weekend, I could use to collect a tower for you if that helps? Its being repaired at the moment after a slight touching up by a lorry but should be back soon.
