Fascias, soffits and guttering in Lichfield

Before your new roofline in Lichfield

Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Lichfield. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.

Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so roofline work pauses if either is found.
Soffit boards on older homes in Lichfield may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.
Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.

Choices to weigh up in Lichfield

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.

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.

What does your new roofline cost in Lichfield?

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.

Fascias, soffits and guttering in Lichfield: common questions

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.

How do I book a survey in Lichfield?

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.

Will it be noisy or disruptive?

There's some noise while the old boards come off and the new ones are fixed, but all work is outside, so you won't need to move furniture or clear rooms. The scaffold may block part of the drive for a few days. Gutters are off for a short time only, and we reconnect them as quickly as possible.

Does Lichfield District Council need to approve my new roofline?

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