Fascias, soffits and guttering in Great Wyrley

What should you know before starting in Great Wyrley?

There's normally nothing to apply for. South Staffordshire 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.

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.
Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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

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.

How do I book a survey in Great Wyrley?

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.

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 Great Wyrley?

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