Fascias, soffits and guttering in Dudley

What should you know before starting in Dudley?

There's normally nothing to apply for. Dudley Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.
Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so roofline work pauses if either is found.
Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.

Which options suit homes in Dudley?

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.

Your questions answered

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.

How do I book a survey in Dudley?

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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Dudley?

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