Choices to weigh up in Stoke-on-Trent
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.
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.

Before you book in Stoke-on-Trent
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.
Which postcodes in Stoke-on-Trent do you work in?
We cover ST1, ST4 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Stoke-on-Trent, neighbouring Stafford and Penkridge are covered too.
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.
Will I need permission from the council in Stoke-on-Trent?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Stoke-on-Trent City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
