Fascias, soffits and guttering in Leamington Spa: approvals and local details

Your new roofline won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Leamington Spa, where changes may need listed building consent from Warwick District Council.

Replacing fascias and soffits doesn't normally need building regulations approval, but roof ventilation must be kept.
Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.
Soffit boards on older homes in Leamington Spa may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.

Choices to weigh up in Leamington Spa

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.

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.
