Our video of the lads stripping back a previously overcladded job pretty much went viral. 200,000 views and plenty of debate in the comments - including people in the trade saying that if the timbers looked okay they would overclad.

Here’s why we disagree 👇

After 30 years in this trade we’ve stripped back more overcladded rooflines than we can count. And what looks fine on the outside is almost never fine on the inside. Timber rots from the inside out. When you overclad you’re not just hiding the problem - you’re accelerating it. Plastic over timber means the timber can’t breathe. The rot spreads faster. And by the time anyone notices it’s a far bigger and far more expensive problem than it ever needed to be.

We’ve seen the damage. We’ve seen the water ingress inside properties. We’ve seen what happens when you take a shortcut that seemed fine at the time.

That’s why we never overclad.

From leaks and rotten timber to a full exterior transformation 👇

Here’s Gav on site starting a complete renovation:

- Full re-roof
- ⁠New flat roofs
- ⁠Cladding
- ⁠Fascias, soffits & guttering

This property had leaking roofs, failing flat roofs, and rotten fascias causing ongoing problems for the homeowner.

The customer trusted us again after we completed a similar project on another of his properties in Boroughbridge - and that says everything about the standard we work to.

This customer had been let down by a cowboy company before…

So when it came to choosing a roofline company this time - trust was everything.

She found GFS through friends who had already been very satisfied with the work. And from the moment Gav came out to do the first assessment she felt she could trust them.

Installers absolutely professional at all times. Property left clean and tidy throughout.

Her words - not ours.

This Knaresborough job came to us the best way possible - recommended by other customers we’d already worked for on the same estate.

When we got there it became clear why they needed us. The previous owner had overcladded rather than properly replaced. Over time the timber underneath had started to rot and the whole thing was beginning to fall off.

We stripped everything back completely. Then rebuilt properly with new white Swish fascias and soffits, black square guttering and grey dry verge throughout.

And the feedback from the customer when it was finished? Glowing. Which is always the best way to end a job.

Choosing a family business. Here’s why it matters to you 👇

When you choose a national company you can become just a job number on a spreadsheet. Someone books it. Someone else quotes it. Someone else turns up to do it. And if something isn’t right… getting the right person on the phone can be hard 😅

At GFS it doesn’t work like that.

You’ll meet Gav. He comes out personally to every quote - no salespeople, no middleman. Once the job is agreed his son Alfie comes out to do the pre-installation survey, goes through everything with you and makes sure the fitters have everything they need to get the job done properly.

You’re a name. A customer. Part of a portfolio of installations that a family has been proud of for over 30 years.

That’s what choosing a family business actually means.

Rotting timber fascias don’t just look bad. What you can’t see is usually the foundation of the problem - water getting in behind, causing damage that spreads further every single day.

That’s exactly why we strip everything back. Every time. No overcladding. No covering up what’s underneath. Because fixing what’s visible without dealing with what isn’t is not a fix at all.

Old rotten timber out. Rebuilt properly from scratch. New white Swish square fascias and soffits throughout with black square guttering installed and flowing as it should.

Only the best materials - no risk of fading, no risk of failing and backed by up to 20 year guarantees 👌

When you’re renovating a property every detail matters.

And the roofline is one of the most important ones - it needs to look sharp, perform properly and last for decades.

On this Wetherby renovation we fitted Swish black fascias and soffits with tongue and groove soffit underneath and black square guttering throughout.

The lines are straight. The finish is clean. And when the roof tiles go on and the renovation is complete - it’s going to look incredible.

Is there a best time to get your roofline replaced?

The honest answer? There isn’t one.

It could be you’ve just moved into a new home. It could be the guttering is failing. It could be winter, summer, rain or sunshine. The timing doesn’t change what’s happening behind the fascias.

If you’ve still got timber fascias and soffits the rot could be setting in right now without you even knowing it. That’s the thing about roofline problems - you can’t always see them until they’ve already caused damage.

Don’t wait for the right moment. There isn’t one.
