FAQs
What types of fascia materials do you offer for replacement?
We supply and fit high-quality uPVC, powder-coated aluminium, and treated timber fascias. uPVC is the most popular in Newport because it is cost-effective, requires very little maintenance, and is resistant to the coastal moisture that can cause timber rot. Aluminium suits customers looking for a sleek, modern profile and maximum longevity, while pre-primed, pressure-treated timber remains the choice for period homes that need to maintain an original appearance. During our survey we explain the benefits, life expectancy, colour options, and price differences of each material so you can make an informed decision.
How do I know if my gutters need replacing or just cleaning and repair?
Common signs you only need a clean or minor repair include overflowing during heavy rain due to debris, small leaks at joints, or loose brackets. Full replacement is usually recommended when there are cracks along the gutter length, significant rust or pitting on metal systems, sagging sections that no longer hold the correct fall, or repeated leaks after previous repairs. At your free inspection we carry out a water-flow test, check fascia boards for hidden water damage, and photograph any defects so you can clearly see whether a clean, a sectional repair, or a complete gutter renewal is the most cost-effective option.
How long does a typical fascia and gutter replacement take on a Newport property?
For an average three-bed semi-detached house, removing old timber fascias and fitting new uPVC boards plus matching gutters normally takes 1 to 2 days, weather permitting. Larger detached homes or jobs that include soffits, bargeboards and downpipes can take 3 to 4 days. We schedule work outside peak rainfall forecasts where possible, arrive by 8 am to minimise disruption, and leave the site watertight at the end of each day so your home is protected even if the job spans more than one day.
Will the work damage my roof tiles or disturb my garden?
No. All operatives are trained to the NFRC Safe2Torch and Working at Height standards. We use roof ladders with padded supports so tiles aren’t cracked, and we remove only the bottom course needed to access the fascias. Ground sheets and debris chutes keep lawns, flowerbeds and driveways clear of old materials. Once the new system is installed we sweep gutters, clean windowsills and fully dispose of waste through a licensed carrier, leaving your property exactly as we found it—just with smarter, cleaner roofline components.
Do I need planning permission for fascia, soffit, or gutter replacements in Newport?
In almost all cases you do not need planning permission because roofline repairs and replacements are classed as ‘permitted development’. The main exceptions are listed buildings and homes in designated conservation areas around Caerleon and Newport city centre. If your property falls into one of these categories we can provide drawings, material samples and liaison with Newport City Council conservation officers to ensure compliance. Building Regulations approval is not normally required unless you are also altering the roof structure itself.
What warranties and after-care do you provide?
All uPVC and aluminium fascia and gutter systems come with a 20-year manufacturer’s guarantee against cracking, warping and discolouration. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee for total peace of mind. After completion you receive a maintenance guide that explains how to keep gutters clear and what signs of wear to look for. We also offer an optional annual clean and inspection service at a discounted rate for customers in Newport, helping you extend the life of your new roofline and avoid unexpected repair bills.
