Fascias, soffits and guttering in Wordsley

Planning your new roofline in Wordsley

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

Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Replacing fascias and soffits doesn't normally need building regulations approval, but roof ventilation must be kept.
Capping over rotten timber hides the problem rather than fixing it.

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.

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.
