Fascias, soffits and guttering in Walsgrave

Planning your new roofline in Walsgrave

Your new roofline won't normally need planning permission or Building Regulations approval. The exception is a listed building in Walsgrave, where changes may need listed building consent from Coventry City Council.

Bats and nesting birds are protected by law, so roofline work pauses if either is found.
Capping over rotten timber hides the problem rather than fixing it.
Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.

Which options suit homes in Walsgrave?

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.
