Before your new roofline in Kings Norton
Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Kings Norton. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.
- Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
- Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.
- Capping over rotten timber hides the problem rather than fixing it.

Choices to weigh up in Kings Norton
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.
How much should you budget in Kings Norton?
Guide prices start at £450 and run to £5,500 depending on size and specification. Full uPVC fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes on a three-bed semi, front and back, with scaffold: around £2,200–£3,200.

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.
Will I need permission from the council in Kings Norton?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Birmingham City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
