Choices to weigh up in Cannock

Dry verge and eaves protection

Mortar-bedded gable verges often crack and drop. A dry verge system clips caps over the tile edges without mortar. At the eaves, a strip of eaves protection membrane and an over-fascia vent can replace perished felt and keep the roof ventilated. Both are often added when the roofline is being replaced.

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.

Fascias, soffits and guttering in Cannock: common questions

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.

Which postcodes in Cannock do you work in?

We cover WS11 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Cannock, neighbouring Heath Hayes and Hednesford are covered too.

Should I cap over my old fascias or replace them?

Full replacement is usually the better choice. Capping covers the old timber, so any rot carries on unseen and can loosen the gutter fixings over time. It's only suitable where the existing boards are completely sound, which is uncommon on older houses. We'll tell you which option suits your home at survey.

Who approves fascias, soffits and guttering in Cannock?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Cannock Chase District Council would need to give listed building consent first.
