Fascias, soffits and guttering in Staffordshire

Planning your new roofline in Staffordshire

Your new roofline won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Staffordshire, where changes may need listed building consent from the district or borough council for your town.

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

Which options suit homes in Staffordshire?

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.

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.

How much should you budget in Staffordshire?

Prices in Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire

What guarantee comes with new roofline?

The uPVC boards, gutters and fittings carry the manufacturer's guarantee, and the terms are set out in your quote. Coloured foils and white boards can have different terms, so check the details for the finish you choose. Keep the paperwork with your other house documents.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Yes — we cover Staffordshire from our West Bromwich base, including Walsall, Sandwell and Wolverhampton. Call 0800 088 6248 or send the form on this page to book a free survey.

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 Staffordshire?

Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where the district or borough council for your town would need to give listed building consent first.
