Every now and then, a home needs a little facelift—not a complete renovation, just a touch of modern polish. That was the case at Long Gables in Utterby, where Mr. & Mrs. Kerr felt it was time to lift the look of their beautiful property. And the results? Let’s just say their home now turns heads for all the right reasons.
A Common Issue: Tired-Looking Rooflines That Drag Down Kerb Appeal
Despite being well maintained, many Lincolnshire homes—especially those built a few decades ago—suffer from ageing rooflines. Soffits, fascias, and guttering take a constant battering from the British weather. Over time, they can fade, peel, crack, or just look dated, especially when contrasted against striking brickwork.
This was precisely the issue for Mr. & Mrs. Kerr. The dark brickwork of Long Gables was appealing, but the aged and discoloured roofline trim didn’t do it justice. Aside from looks, there’s also the practicality: older guttering systems can become clogged or sag over time, causing poor drainage and, eventually, damage to exterior walls or foundations.
Why Roofriendly? A Local Recommendation That Made All the Difference
When the Kerrs decided to tackle this task, they turned to local expertise. Living in Lincolnshire themselves, they wanted to support a regional business with a reputation for excellent workmanship, honest communication, and great results. After a neighbour in Utterby mentioned Roofriendly’s seamless installations and zero-fuss quoting process, we got the call.
It wasn’t just about replacing parts—it was about transforming the feel of their home. They wanted a team that could enhance kerb appeal while improving performance and reducing maintenance. With Roofriendly’s reputation for doing just that, it was a natural fit.
The Installation: Precision, Craftsmanship, and Clean Lines
After an in-depth consultation and a no-obligation quote, we got to work. We began with the safe removal of the old fascias, soffits, and outdated guttering. Each component needed to be carefully dismantled to ensure no damage to existing roof structures.
Next came the installation of new uPVC fascias and soffits in a crisp white finish—chosen specifically to contrast and pop against the darker tones of the brickwork. We also installed robust, high-capacity gutters that not only elevate aesthetics but improve drainage during those infamous Lincolnshire downpours.
Every line was ensured to be clean and perfectly aligned. Because let’s face it: an expertly aligned roofline isn’t just functional—it’s deeply satisfying to look at.
Before & After: The Transformation Speaks for Itself
With everything installed and sealed, Long Gables looked like a new property. The new white roofline transformed the overall exterior—adding brightness, clarity, and a much smarter silhouette to the structure. It’s a classic example of how relatively small exterior changes can have a massive visual impact.
Beyond aesthetics, the Kerrs now have:
- Improved water flow: thanks to wider and stronger guttering
- Zero maintenance: no more annual sanding or painting
- Long-term weather protection: safeguarding the rafters and roof edges from the elements
It’s a clever upgrade that delivers both style and substance—just as every home improvement should.
