Fascias, soffits and guttering in Wednesbury

Dry verge caps can replace cracked mortar at the gable ends at the same time.
Replacing fascias and soffits doesn't normally need building regulations approval, but roof ventilation must be kept.

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.

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.

Questions about fascias, soffits and guttering in Wednesbury

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.

Do you cover Wednesbury?

Yes. Wednesbury (WS10) is about 3 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.

Will it be noisy or disruptive?

There's some noise while the old boards come off and the new ones are fixed, but all work is outside, so you won't need to move furniture or clear rooms. The scaffold may block part of the drive for a few days. Gutters are off for a short time only, and we reconnect them as quickly as possible.

Does Sandwell Council need to approve my new roofline?

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