HD Sharman’s Plygene Gutterline has been used as part of a substantial gutter refurbishment project at a large electrical and industrial component distributor in Nuneaton.
Project contractor Roofing Consultants were tasked in March 2015 with providing a long-term solution to stop the building’s gutters from leaking. Richard Lennon, managing director of Roofing Consultants, said: “For this particular project, our team had a short timescale of just four to six weeks, and we needed a solution that would immediately resolve the issue of leaking gutters with minimal disruption to the client.
“Having incorporated Plygene Gutterline within our specifications for many years, we know first-hand that the solution was ideal because of its flexibility, ease of installation and 25 year guarantee.”
As Gutterline is made to measure for every project, the solution was chosen for its ability to fit into the variety of situations at the distribution centre, including gutters with failed joints ranging from 30 to 130 metres long, running from boundary to valley with complex T-sections, transitions and corners.
Another particular challenge of the project was the complexity of the existing syphonic system. However, due to the team at Roofing Consultants having already completed the free training course at HD Sharman, the installation was relatively straightforward. In addition, the installation of Gutterline does not require any structural work and so the entire contract was undertaken with minimal disruption to the business and allowed Roofing Consultants to keep within its tight time frame.
Mr. Lennon added: “HD Sharman was incredibly proactive in terms of keeping the project flowing with a phased schedule of deliveries throughout the project.”
HD Sharman says Plygene Gutterline is the only product of its type to be approved by the BBA and carries an industry leading 25-year guarantee.
Mark de Rozarieux, managing director of HD Sharman, said: “Patching up gutters once a leak has occurred can prove costly in the long run and we are increasingly finding more and more buildings that are having water ingress due to poor maintenance and localised repairs.”
