Which option fits your home?
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 Walmley

Which postcodes in Walmley do you work in?
We cover B76 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Walmley, neighbouring Erdington and Castle Vale are covered too.
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.
Who approves fascias, soffits and guttering in Walmley?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where Birmingham City Council would need to give listed building consent first.
