Fascias, soffits and guttering in Erdington

What should you know before starting in Erdington?

There's normally nothing to apply for. Birmingham City 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.

Soffit boards on older homes in Erdington may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Who approves fascias, soffits and guttering in Erdington?

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