Fascias, soffits and guttering in Burton upon Trent

Planning your new roofline in Burton upon Trent

There's normally nothing to apply for. East Staffordshire Borough 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.

Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.
Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.

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.

Colours and finishes

White uPVC is the most common and cheapest finish. Black, anthracite grey, brown and woodgrain foils are available for fascias, soffits and gutters, and can be matched to windows and doors. Coloured boards cost more, but they suit darker windows and some period houses better.

Which postcodes in Burton upon Trent do you work in?

We cover DE14 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Burton upon Trent, neighbouring Lichfield and Tamworth are covered too.

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.

Who approves fascias, soffits and guttering in Burton upon Trent?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where East Staffordshire Borough Council would need to give listed building consent first.
