FAQ's
Q. What is the best order to do things in if I need new spouting and my roof needs painting?
A. First you would be best to paint the roof because then any of the paint that lands on the spouting will go when it is removed. Once the old spouting has been removed then paint the fascia and put the new spouting up.
Q. Can I get a ballpark figure or a per metre rate over the phone?
A. The best thing to do is to get in contact with us so that we can come out and give you a free, no obligation quote as there are a lot of different variables when quoting for spouting and downpipes. It depends on things like how many angles, stops and drops there are, whether the house is two story or not, how far out of town the site is, etc.
Q. How often do we have to maintain the spouting?
A. There is a 15 year guarantee on the colour steel but this is not valid if the spouting and downpipes are not keep clean and free of debris and leaves, etc. We suggest that you clean out your spouting and downpipes at least once a year (preferably in late winter/early spring). The spouting needs to be cleared from and debris, leaves, etc then washed down with clean water and a soft-bristle brush. If you are not comfortable doing it yourself then get a professional in. It must be done on a regular basis to meet the terms of your warranty.
Q. Do I need to repaint the spouting and downpipes?
A. Because we use color steel the paint has been baked on and therefore does not have to be painted or touched up. This gives it an extremely durable paint system that resists UV damage and provides excellent gloss and colour retention.
Q. Can I have colour steel downpipes if I have rainwater tanks?
A. If you are going straight into the rainwater tank then this is fine but if you are going down the wall and into a sealed storm water drain then you must use PVC downpipes because they have to be sealed.
