Fascias, soffits and guttering in Penn

Before your new roofline in Penn

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

Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.
Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so roofline work pauses if either is found.

Choices to weigh up in Penn

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.

Cap-over boards

Thin uPVC boards are fixed over the existing timber. Capping is cheaper, but only suitable where the old timber is completely sound, and any rot underneath carries on out of sight. We'll tell you honestly at survey whether your boards are good enough for capping, though full replacement is usually better value over time.

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.
