Fascias, soffits and guttering in Cradley Heath

Before your new roofline in Cradley Heath

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

Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.
Soffit boards on older homes in Cradley Heath may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Cradley Heath?

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

Do you cover Cradley Heath?

Yes. Cradley Heath (B64) is about 5 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.

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 Cradley Heath?

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