If you’ve ever stood outside your home and thought, “something just doesn’t look quite right,” you’re not alone. Little details—like tired fascias, peeling soffits, or weather-stained guttering—can dull the entire look of your property. That’s exactly what Mrs Prescott in Skellingthorpe realised when she decided it was finally time to show the front of her home some love.
The Problem: A Weather-Worn Roofline That Needed TLC
Like many homes across Lincolnshire, Mrs Prescott’s property had aged gracefully—but was starting to show signs of wear. The original uPVC roofline elements had lost their colour and were struggling to keep up with today’s standards in performance and aesthetics. Discolouration, cracking, and unsightly gaps started to impact not only the visual appeal but also the home’s ability to properly manage rainwater and resist the unpredictable British weather.
Replacing the entire roof wasn’t necessary, but an upgrade? Absolutely. And that’s where a roofline makeover—complete with new soffits, fascias, guttering, and external cladding—stepped in to make all the difference.
The Solution: Finding the Right Experts (Why Roofriendly)
Mrs Prescott had seen enough “meh” home improvements around the village to know not every installer gets it right. What caught her attention about Roofriendly was our reputation for matching new materials seamlessly with a home’s existing features—brickwork, windows, trims, and all. That’s no happy accident. It’s the result of local experience, keen eyes, and a product range chosen specifically for its flexibility and durability.
She reached out after spotting some of our recent work in the area and loved how we paired rich woodgrain tones with anthracite and black accents to lift even the oldest of homes into a more modern, finished look—without stripping away their original character. It was just what hers needed: a tidy refresh with tasteful upgrades that would actually last.
The Installation: Expert Care from Start to Finish
Once our survey team visited Mrs Prescott’s home in Skellingthorpe, we got to work on designing a solution that married form and function. Our recommendation? Deep woodgrain brown soffits and fascias, complemented by sleek black guttering. This colour combination harmonised beautifully with her existing features and offered a timeless style that would hold up in any season.
Installation day arrived, and the Roofriendly team prepped the site carefully. Old fittings were stripped away cleanly to prevent future issues. We checked for signs of water ingress or damage to the rafter feet—a common problem that often gets overlooked, but not on our watch. All new fixings were reinforced, ventilation gaps reassessed (especially important for roof health), and new components fitted with precision and pride.
By using durable, maintenance-free uPVC and engineered cladding, we ensured the finish would stand the test of time—without Mrs Prescott needing to climb a ladder for touch-ups or repainting in the years to come.
The Result: A Home with Striking Kerb Appeal and Reliable Protection
The transformation was immediate. The subtle sheen of the woodgrain fascia contrasted perfectly with the deep finish of the new black guttering, while the crisp lines of the cladding made the façade pop. It’s one of those upgrades that doesn’t shout for attention—but gets it anyway. Better still, her drainage system now performs more efficiently, keeping water well away from brickwork and foundations.
Functionally, the enhancements also mean:
- Less annual maintenance – no more repainting or patching up cracks
- Improved weatherproofing – protecting against rain, wind, and frost
- Longer-lasting durability with fade-resistant, UV-protected materials
All of this contributes to long-term savings and hassle-free upkeep. With a fresh, high-quality roofline, Mrs Prescott’s home now looks sharper and is better protected for decades to come—and she didn’t even have to go near a paintbrush.
