How important is the Roof over your head?
Barge Boards Replacement
We are Perth's barge boards replacement specialists. Our previous clients have trusted us to deliver excellence on their most precious assets, their homes. We have been trusted with replacing barge boards and scribe fillet to multi million dollar architecturally designed luxury homes. Needless to say these home owners were ecstatic with our premium craftsmanship and all round service. Our previous job photos do all the talking. How can you really trust a business that has no photos displaying their work quality?
Replacing the old weathered/ rotted barge boards and scribe fillet to your property will vastly improve your properties exterior aesthetics and also provide all important weather proofing from water ingress. Eventually, without replacement your old barges and scribe will simply fall off leaving an ugly hole in your roof structure, which is then susceptible to leaks and further damage to your home.
​
The barge boards we use are: Primed LOSP treated pine barge boards. Standard sizing is: 188mm X 30mm, however we can supply wider barge boards up to 280mm if necessary. Sometimes the priming colour may vary on the barge boards. Usual colours are: Pink, Blue, Green and Yellow. This of course makes no difference as the new barge boards must be painted.

The scribe fillet we use is: Weathertex scribe fillet 105 X 9.5mm. This product is specifically designed for use as scribe fillet and is made from sustainable re constituted hardwood and other preservatives.
​
Barge boards and scribe fillet are usually painted after they have been installed on new homes by the painters, not during the job in bits. Entire timber framed and cladded architecturally designed new luxury homes are always painted AFTER building.
​
If your barge boards have a Western Power connection we cannot replace the barge with the connection point due to safety reasons. Consider installing a different connection point for Western Power to your home. Due to previous clients advising us of Western Powers exorbitant disconnection and re connection fees to the home owner and an inflexible disconnection timetable, we do not deal with or fit in with Western Power.
