Fascias, soffits and guttering in Coventry

Before your new roofline in Coventry

Your new roofline won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Coventry, where changes may need listed building consent from Coventry City Council.

Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.
Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.

Options to consider in Coventry

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.

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.

How do I book a survey in Coventry?

Send the form on this page, use the guide-price tool or call 0800 088 6248 free. We'll ask a few questions about your new roofline and arrange a time to visit.

How long does it take to replace fascias and guttering?

Most terraces and semis take one to three days once the scaffold is up, and detached houses three to five. Rafter repairs, eaves membrane and dry verges can add time, as can extra bays or gables. Light rain doesn't stop most of the work, but high winds can, because handling long boards at height isn't safe in a gale.

Will I need permission from the council in Coventry?

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