What should you know before starting in Hednesford?

- Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.
- Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
- Replacing fascias and soffits doesn't normally need building regulations approval, but roof ventilation must be kept.

Choices to weigh up in Hednesford
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.
Colours and finishes
White uPVC is the most common and cheapest finish. Black, anthracite grey, brown and woodgrain foils are available for fascias, soffits and gutters, and can be matched to windows and doors. Coloured boards cost more, but they suit darker windows and some period houses better.

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.
Do you cover Hednesford?
Yes. Hednesford (WS12) is about 13 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.
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.
Who approves fascias, soffits and guttering in Hednesford?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Cannock Chase District Council would need to give listed building consent first.
