Planning your new roofline in Northfield
Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Northfield. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.
- Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.
- Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so roofline work pauses if either is found.
- Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.

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.
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.
