Door Canopy Installation in N12. Before & After

July 7, 2012 8:54 am Published by

Mr Morris called Summit Cladding when he kept having problems with his door getting damaged from wet weather conditions.  When we arrived at Mr Morris’ home in N12 we could see that the best way to prevent further damage was to install a door canopy. We did this and then matched up the existing guttering on the front bay. We also added spotlights to the canopy.   What do you  think of this door canopy installation?

    Summit Cladding was recently called out to a house in Harrow, North West London that had some serious problems with its front door canopy.    The wooden door canopy had extensive damage that was letting water. Not only was it a problem to this house but it was also causing problems to the house next door which was within close proximity.   To improve the situation we replaced the fascia board with plastic and fitted a Delta High Performance brown mineral felt roof.It is now looking much better and the owner is very happy with the work done.   If you are interested in the services of Summit Cladding, from door canopy repair to cladding installation, don’t hesitate...

April showers threaten Britain’s homes

April 24, 2012 2:30 pm Published by

This April is showering like it’s got something to prove. Spectacular thunderstorms, barrages of marble-sized hailstones, unseasonably cold weather and incessant rainfall has spelt an extra Christmas for meteorologists, and a nightmare for homeowners.   Your immediate concerns are probably for overflowing guttering and leaking roofs; but the damp weather can open the doors to a threat that’s more silent, but equally deadly: mould.   Fungi thrive in damp conditions; and when you consider that many species occupy dead wood as their chosen habitat, it becomes clear how important it is to properly protect the timber beams and battening in your home’s construction.   Believe it or not, the solution to this used to be more wood.
