As it's now Autumn it's time to be thinking about your gutters. Are they clear and free flowing?

We have recently completed a job for a client who has had some issues with their gutters. Their property is surrounded by tall trees and so the gutters fill up with leaves and debris very frequently. They asked for their gutters to be cleaned and a long term solution to stopping the gutters filling up with debris in the future. Some of the guttering had also dropped and so was retaining water.

The gutters were cleaned and any leaks repaired. Where the guttering had dropped, the guttering and brackets were removed and refitted to remove any low spots, aloowing the gutters to once again flow easily. We then installed Hedgehog Brush to all gutters, clipping with dual purpose clips which can also be used for hanging Christmas/festive lights on.

ACR Property also provide an external festive decorating service.

Here at ACR property, we are always up for a challenge and this next one certainly was.
Our client approached us after purchasing a large 8’ x 18’ shed to replace two sheds that had seen better days in their garden. They decided that they wanted to be able to store more than the usual garden tools and patio furniture, and so wanted an insulated space to help manage the extreme temperature fluctuations that you can get in a garden shed.

We quoted to fit 40mm PIR insulation to the walls, 70mm PIR insulation to the roof and then sheath it all in 11mm exterior grade plywood. Our client wanted to be able to hang bikes and the like from the walls, so the sheathing needed to be able to take some weight, with the rest being loaded on the frame of the shed, which needed to be clearly identified.

We first cut each individual insulation panel to size to friction fit between the timber frame, to a snug fit. This minimises heat gains and losses by producing minimal gaps. A vapour control layer was the produced by taping all of the joints with insulation tap, creating an impenetrable layer keeping the moisture away from the plywood. All of the plywood sheets were then custom cut to suit the existing structure, to produce a pleasing finish, with window openings routed out to the existing frame with a flush cut bit. The aesthetics of the job were secondary to the function, but ACR Property strive to add that little bit extra where possible. All of the sheets were fitted using Torx screws along all of the framing struts so that they could be easily identifiable for fixing brackets, shackles and shelves to the walls that require stronger fixing points.

Next up is another from the archive. It's not always pretty. Invariably posts will appear of the completed article, sometimes part way through the process of redecorating/painting a room. The posts will be of the glamour shots and not always showing you the real grit of the project. Here at ACR Property we want to remind people that preparation is key. The preparation can take longer than the actual painting. A moto that we live by is "If you fail to prepare, be prepared to fail.

This kitchen had suffered from historic leaks and poor plasterwork. Once the leaks had been solved the walls and ceiling were stripped back with the damage repaired. The walls were stain blocked using Bullseye 1-2-3 and prepared ready for paint to the ceiling and to the walls and woodwork. The client was very happy that the paintwork now reflected the quality of the kitchen cabinets, worktop and tiles.

Digging into the archives and first up was a redecorating job for a client. The walls were in need of significant repair which is no problem for us. Walls were raked, sanded, filled and cleaned ready for a couple of coats of vinyl silk. The ceiling and coving were given a couple of coats of Dulux pure brilliant white vinyl silk and the woodwork was completed in Dulux one coat satin wood.

As part of the prep for the room, the carpet, underlay and gripper rod were removed at the client's request. Included within the project, new gripper rod and underlay were fitted ready for the carpet fitters.
