Fascias, soffits and guttering in Marston Green

Planning your new roofline in Marston Green

There's normally nothing to apply for. Solihull Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Capping over rotten timber hides the problem rather than fixing it.
Replacing fascias and soffits doesn't normally need building regulations approval, but roof ventilation must be kept.

Choices to weigh up in Marston Green

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.

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.

How do I book a survey in Marston Green?

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.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Marston Green?

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