Fascias, soffits and guttering in Redditch

Planning your new roofline in Redditch

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

Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so roofline work pauses if either is found.
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.

Which option fits your home?

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.

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.

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 Redditch?

Yes. Redditch (B97) is about 15 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 Redditch Borough Council need to approve my new roofline?

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