Fascias, soffits and guttering in Nuneaton

Planning your new roofline in Nuneaton

Your new roofline won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Nuneaton, where changes may need listed building consent from Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.

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.
Soffit boards on older homes in Nuneaton may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Nuneaton?

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Do you cover Nuneaton?

Yes. Nuneaton (CV11) is about 22 miles from our West Bromwich base and inside the area we cover. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

Do I need to be home while the work is done?

Not necessarily, because all the work is outside. We'll need access to the back garden and an outside tap if possible, and we'll arrange the scaffold delivery with you. If timber repairs are needed, we'll call or message you with photos before carrying them out.

Does Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council need to approve my new roofline?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council would need to give listed building consent first.
