Fascias, soffits and guttering in Streetly: approvals and local details

There's normally nothing to apply for. Walsall Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.
Soffit boards on older homes in Streetly may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.

Choices to weigh up in Streetly

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.

Gutters and downpipes

Replacing old cast iron, asbestos cement or tired plastic gutters with new uPVC in half-round, square or ogee profiles. New gutters are set to a proper fall towards the outlets, with downpipes connected to the existing drains or soakaway. This can be done on its own if the fascias are still in good condition.

Do you cover Streetly?

Yes. Streetly (B74) is about 6 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.

Do I need to be home while the work is done?

Not necessarily, because all the work is outside. We'll need access to the back garden and an outside tap if possible, and we'll arrange the scaffold delivery with you. If timber repairs are needed, we'll call or message you with photos before carrying them out.

Will I need permission from the council in Streetly?

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