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.

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.

What does your new roofline cost in Stourport-on-Severn?

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

Questions about fascias, soffits and guttering in Stourport-on-Severn

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.

Which postcodes in Stourport-on-Severn do you work in?

We cover DY13 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Stourport-on-Severn, neighbouring Kidderminster and Bewdley 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 Stourport-on-Severn?

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