Fascias, soffits and guttering in Binley: approvals and local details

There's normally nothing to apply for. Coventry City 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.

Capping over rotten timber hides the problem rather than fixing it.
Replacing fascias and soffits doesn't normally need building regulations approval, but roof ventilation must be kept.
Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.

Choices to weigh up in Binley

Full replacement

Old timber fascias, soffits and bargeboards are removed, rafter feet are repaired where needed, and new uPVC boards are fixed directly to the roof timbers. This is the most reliable option because it deals with any hidden rot and gives proper fixings for the gutters. It's the method we recommend for most homes.

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.

Fascias, soffits and guttering in Binley: common questions

Will it be noisy or disruptive?

There's some noise while the old boards come off and the new ones are fixed, but all work is outside, so you won't need to move furniture or clear rooms. The scaffold may block part of the drive for a few days. Gutters are off for a short time only, and we reconnect them as quickly as possible.

What guarantee comes with new roofline?

The uPVC boards, gutters and fittings carry the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms are set out in your quote. Coloured foils and white boards can have different terms, so check the details for the finish you choose. Keep the paperwork with your other house documents.
