Fascias, soffits and guttering in Oldbury

Fascias, soffits and guttering in Oldbury: approvals and local details

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

Capping over rotten timber hides the problem rather than fixing it.
Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.
Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.

Which options suit homes in Oldbury?

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.

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.

Before you book in Oldbury

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.

How do I book a survey in Oldbury?

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.

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.

Who approves fascias, soffits and guttering in Oldbury?

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