Fascias, soffits and guttering in Wyken

Planning your new roofline in Wyken

There's normally nothing to apply for. Coventry City Council only needs to be involved if your home is listed, or if it's in a conservation area with extra controls on changes to the outside.

Coloured uPVC roofline can be matched to grey, black or woodgrain windows.
Scaffold may need to stand on a shared drive or neighbour's land, so it's worth a quick word next door.
Gutters should fall steadily towards the outlets so water doesn't sit and overflow.

Which option fits your home?

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.

Before you book in Wyken

Should I cap over my old fascias or replace them?

Full replacement is usually the better choice. Capping covers the old timber, so any rot carries on unseen and can loosen the gutter fixings over time. It's only suitable where the existing boards are completely sound, which is uncommon on older houses. We'll tell you which option suits your home at survey.
