    We had all our facias soffits and bargeboards REPLACED with uPVC (not nailed on over the wood) but with aluminium guttering. Looks great and there'll never be any drips from joints.

    Out of interest, what do the various bits do on a roof?

    Mine's an old place and is just slate tiles. No wood/plastic bits at all showing. Is that a problem?
