Options to consider in Solihull

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.

How much should you budget in Solihull?

Expect to budget between £450 and £5,500 depending on size and specification in Solihull. Full uPVC fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes on a three-bed semi, front and back, with scaffold: typically £2,200–£3,200.

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.

Will I need permission from the council in Solihull?

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