Fascias, soffits and guttering in Birmingham

Planning your new roofline in Birmingham

Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Birmingham. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.

Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.
Capping over rotten timber hides the problem rather than fixing it.
Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.

Options to consider in Birmingham

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Birmingham?

Expect to budget between £450 and £5,500 depending on size and specification in Birmingham. Full uPVC fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes on a three-bed semi, front and back, with scaffold: typically £2,200–£3,200.

Your questions answered

Do I need to be home while the work is done?

Not necessarily, because all the work is outside. We'll need access to the back garden and an outside tap if possible, and we'll arrange the scaffold delivery with you. If timber repairs are needed, we'll call or message you with photos before carrying them out.

Do you cover the whole of Birmingham?

Yes — we cover Birmingham from our West Bromwich base, including Solihull, Sandwell and Walsall. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Birmingham?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Birmingham City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
