Choices to weigh up in Wednesfield
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.
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.

Which postcodes in Wednesfield do you work in?
We cover WV11 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Wednesfield, neighbouring Willenhall and Fordhouses are covered too.
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 City of Wolverhampton Council need to approve my new roofline?
Not normally. The exception is a listed building, where City of Wolverhampton Council would need to give listed building consent first.
