Fascias, soffits and guttering in Polesworth

Planning your new roofline in Polesworth

Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.
Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.

Which options suit homes in Polesworth?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Polesworth?

Prices in Polesworth match the rest of our area: £450–£5,500 depending on size and specification. Full uPVC fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes on a three-bed semi, front and back, with scaffold: usually £2,200–£3,200.

Before you book in Polesworth

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 Polesworth?

Yes. Polesworth (B78) is about 18 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.

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.

Does North Warwickshire Borough Council need to approve my new roofline?

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