Fascias, soffits and guttering in Tividale: approvals and local details
Planning permission is rarely needed for this work in Tividale. We'll still look at access, parking for deliveries and any shared boundaries before we price it.
- Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.
- Soffit boards on older homes in Tividale may contain asbestos cement and should be tested before removal.
- Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so roofline work pauses if either is found.

Which option fits your home?
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.
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.

Fascias, soffits and guttering in Tividale: common questions
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.
