Fascias, soffits and guttering in Moseley

Before your new roofline in Moseley

There's normally nothing to apply for. Birmingham City 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.

Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.
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.

Choices to weigh up in Moseley

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.

Fascias, soffits and guttering in Moseley: common questions

Should I cap over my old fascias or replace them?

Full replacement is usually the better choice. Capping covers the old timber, so any rot carries on unseen and can loosen the gutter fixings over time. It's only suitable where the existing boards are completely sound, which is uncommon on older houses. We'll tell you which option suits your home at survey.

Which postcodes in Moseley do you work in?

We cover B13 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Moseley, neighbouring Edgbaston and Kings Heath are covered too.

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.

Who approves fascias, soffits and guttering in Moseley?

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