Which options suit homes in Gornal?

Full replacement

Old timber fascias, soffits and bargeboards are removed, rafter feet are repaired where needed, and new uPVC boards are fixed directly to the roof timbers. This is the most reliable option because it deals with any hidden rot and gives proper fixings for the gutters. It's the method we recommend for most homes.

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.

Fascias, soffits and guttering in Gornal: common questions

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.

Which postcodes in Gornal do you work in?

We cover DY3 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Gornal, neighbouring Sedgley and Wombourne are covered too.

How much does it cost to replace fascias, soffits and guttering?

For a typical three-bed semi, full replacement front and back usually costs around £2,200–£3,200 in the West Midlands, including scaffolding and new gutters and downpipes. Terraces cost less and detached houses more. Gutters and downpipes on their own typically cost £450–£1,100. Your quote lists the lengths and scaffold separately.

Does Dudley Council need to approve my new roofline?

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