Fascias, soffits and guttering in Dorridge

Planning your new roofline in Dorridge

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

Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.
Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.
Replacing fascias and soffits doesn't normally need building regulations approval, but roof ventilation must be kept.

Options to consider in Dorridge

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.

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.

Before you book in Dorridge

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.

What guarantee comes with new roofline?

The uPVC boards, gutters and fittings carry the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms are set out in your quote. Coloured foils and white boards can have different terms, so check the details for the finish you choose. Keep the paperwork with your other house documents.
