Fascias, soffits and guttering in Alvechurch

Before your new roofline in Alvechurch

There's normally nothing to apply for. Bromsgrove District Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Soffit boards on older homes in Alvechurch may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.
Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.

Which options suit homes in Alvechurch?

Cap-over boards

Thin uPVC boards are fixed over the existing timber. Capping is cheaper, but only suitable where the old timber is completely sound, and any rot underneath carries on out of sight. We'll tell you honestly at survey whether your boards are good enough for capping, though full replacement is usually better value over time.

Gutters and downpipes

Replacing old cast iron, asbestos cement or tired plastic gutters with new uPVC in half-round, square or ogee profiles. New gutters are set to a proper fall towards the outlets, with downpipes connected to the existing drains or soakaway. This can be done on its own if the fascias are still in good condition.
