Which trade - bargeboards

2 replies

Springforward · 02/02/2013 08:21

Am currently negotiating with DH about roofline stuff - he wants uPVC cladding, I want the wooden bargeboards repaired/ replaced and repainted then guttering replaced (uPVC would have to be in rosewood colour, am concerned about fading etc.). I need a quote for the stay-with-wood option, but can anyone tell me which trade I should ask for this - window fitter, joiner, roofer etc.?

TIA.

I would have thought roofer. Scaffolding will be needed. a joiner could do a neat job but will not so often work at heights and might not have theright insurance.

there are companies who specialise in plastic cladding, guttering and bargeboards, if you like that sort of thing. For some reason people who work with plastic are often bodgers.

Plastic guttering is ok (80s build house), but I really hate rosewood uPVC so am hoping to save the wood really. Will look for a roofer, thanks for the steer.
