Which option fits your home?
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.
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 Coseley: common questions
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.
Do you cover Coseley?
Yes. Coseley (WV14) is about 4 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. 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 Coseley?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Dudley Council would need to give listed building consent first.
