.This is a photo taken of the fascia, soffit and guttering fitted over a bay window all by Kent Home Improvements.It was fitted 2005 and photographed in 2017 and it only needs a clean to look brand new but remains maintenance free.Nevertheless if it had been suitable for repainting it would still be dirty and probably need repainting now but this could be cleaned to make it look as good as new if need be.

Kent Home Improvements have made good improvements to bay windows previously fitted by a window installing company.
It is quite common for double glazing salesman to sell only what their fitters are capable of installing and are not interested in other details that do not return a high profit.As a result the old rotten mouldings were left in place over the new installation. Although the wood may have suited the original bay when the bungalow was built you can see that finishing to them and leaving them in place did not look great and the rot present left them impractical to paint anyway.Kent Home Improvements
carpenters found a solution to this problem using oak grain UPVC fascia and in addition renewed the rotten flat roof and main building roof-line products also to complete the house facade to this beautiful bungalow in Margate (Thanet)
