Options to consider in Kingswinford
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
What guarantee comes with new roofline?
The uPVC boards, gutters and fittings carry the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms are set out in your quote. Coloured foils and white boards can have different terms, so check the details for the finish you choose. Keep the paperwork with your other house documents.
How do I book a survey in Kingswinford?
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.
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.
