leaking guttering and down pipes? norfolk s1 builders ltd

Would your insurance cover damage from a leaking gutter or down pipes?

Check it and see as a lot of insurance companies don't and with all the rain and snow unseen damage can be going on without your knowledge.

Usually the snow bends the brackets and allows the seals and brackets to move and not let the guttering perform correctly, leading to leaks either in the form of drips or a visible flow of water. Water getting on the face wall can lead to staining, algae growth, paint discoloration, water breaching leading to inside damp patches on the walls and ceilings, undermining the footings and lots more.

Usually a quick clean-up of the seal and a squirt of washing up liquid (the green one that’s good for your hands we use) prior to the re install which should do the job. If not replace the offending part. Make sure you look for the brand name and check your merchants stock the brand prior to taking it off.

Down pipes usually get blocked due to leaves etc. clogging the entrance and exit due to coagulation of detritus with the excess water. Most people think that more water means the detritus gets washed away? Well it usually washes everything off your roof into the guttering and silts up goes hard and then causes a blockage. 

A few simple steps like cleaning the guttering out, using a hedgehog (yes it’s spikey), cleaning moss off your roof etc. . . .help.

There are so many products out there to join round to square etc. that no one should have leaky guttering. 

The worst cases usually cause the felt to rot (there should be a slight over hang into the guttering to allow any water that gets beneath the tiles to flow into the guttering) and then the roof plate follows causing a drop in the roof, trusses to rot at the ends, valleys to rot, rot to spread into the roof and then how to stop? Installing eaves fillers (unless sarking felt was already installed?, usually not due to time and lazy roofers) is a massive help.

 Then as the fascia and soffit are usually wooden, only painted on the outside the water gets into the back of them and they rot starts from inside out. The outside paint flakes off and shows that there is a problem, too late.

Prevention is better than cure!

Well its been a long wait to be accepted by the government endorsed companies with so many hoops to jump through and some on fire, or though it seemed.
But we did it and no thanks to the work team and our happy clients.
So you can take a look at what its all about at http://www.fairtrades.co.uk/S1BUILDERSLTD.
Well its that time of year where the weather is winding up to its worst and winter woolies leave their resting place for the next 4 months and our work schedule gets blown outof the water on a regualr basis. Mind you it does look nice on the calendar planner, even better when a line goes through a name.
Its been hectic to say the least with the loss of the daylight there certainly are not enough hours in the day!
Fully booked until march/April next year and work is still coming in at a steady rate.
over the next few weeks i will post what's been happening and some pictures to make it all more pleasant to look at.

S1 builders on the Porch

Day one:
 This porch has decided to throw a few holes in the wood so water gets in and allows the rot to slowly eat away the panelling. Seems like a real headache to have to remove the whole roof just to change the internal panelling most would think! But on removal of the felt you can see just what's going on and Mr rot is eating its way through the whole roof!
Total strip out of old rotten wood and the roof, fascia etc and sprayed with a good wood treatment, new boards installed and felted ready to tile.
Day two:
Then it rained !

Shots of the S1 Builders van

Just as the summer draws to an end and the van goes up for the winter a few shots of it out in the sun seem to be appropriate:

Running a type 4 engine on twin 40 dellorta's, with a porsche cam, standard heads and barrels, 72 oil rad with fan and temp switch, quick shift gear stick, uprated oil pump, 8mm leads, flame thrower coil and pick ups, 009 dizzy etc. well fun to drive and the stainless exhaust makes heads turns and the need for the stereo to be up loud. Boys and their toys!

Working for the government by S1 Builders ltd

Undertaking our first contract for the government was unexpected as they approached us from out of the blue. Decoration, new flooring and installation of a new porch to the lobby were among the list of jobs to be quoted for. The internal decoration was from red to blue gloss with walls and ceiling staying the same (magnolia and white) so not a major task you'd think. But as usual things dont flow the correct direction all the time. We had to attempt to cover all the working machinery which included computers, printers etc whilst personnel were working amongst the brushes and rollers. Having such a friendly relaxed environment to carry out the tasks made life so much simpler, the site manager "John" was cool as a cucumber and could not do enough to make the overall process run like a dream. Used Barry and his team for the flooring (Economy flooring) and Andrew and his team for the front porch (West Norfolk Glass). The project was a success and having been paid an email of approval stating we will be kept in mind for any future works that arise in the future. No internal pictures are available to be viewed.

new bathroom

heres some before:

 and i suppose you want to see the finished product?
well the floor joists ran the opposite way to the norm, they were full of woodworm, holes and some lovely plumber put his pipes through the ends of the timbers. well all but half the end of the  125 x 50 joists to get his 15mm radiator pipes through. so when we took the floor boards up the whole thing sank and the ceiling split like a banana. there was over 50mm of play in the timbers and they were like the inside of a crunchie (just not as tasty). so we had to make a whole new floor up and re route pipes etc to take most of the sag out.
oh plus i fell through the floor, smashed the sink pedastol inside the bath underneath  and jammed between the joists like something out of indianna jones with the bath full of smashed porcelain directly underneath me.
lots of other niggly bits reared their heads but thats the joy of an old property. so without further ado here are the after pics:

fish eyed van

well the van went to dubs at the hall amid the rain and mud, with the briefest moments of sunshine Al Glenton found the van and worked some magic. check out the websites and have a look at what they are all about. Despite the rain and mud the crew were well organised and there were lots of smiles. Some great VW's which I had never seen before which were not all new so had been kept well hidden.

new feedback for stairs

Replace staircase/banisters Carpentry & Joinery N We have been delighted with the job done by Stefan and his team. Our requirements were carefully discussed in advance and helpful suggestions were made. We were given a detailed quote for the work to be done, which we were happy to accept. The work was undertaken promptly. Whilst the work was in progress every care was taken to minimise the disruption caused. The carpenter was very friendly and explained what he was doing, going out of his way to offer further advice and help with the final finishing touches. We are now the proud owners of a lovely replacement set of banisters. We would be more than happy to use this firm for any future projects.
