Roofline replacement renews the fascia boards that carry your gutters, the soffits beneath the eaves, bargeboards on gable ends and the gutters and downpipes, usually in low-maintenance uPVC, to protect rafter ends and carry rainwater safely away.
Whatever prompted you to look into new fascias, soffits and guttering, whether wear and tear, a growing family or plans to move, we can survey your Portadown home and give you a price in writing. Homes in Northern Ireland typically come in at £1,700–£3,900, VAT included, for this kind of work. We also cover Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh, and the same steps apply wherever you are in County Armagh.

Homes in County Armagh
Armagh city has Georgian buildings, many in local limestone, around its historic centre. Portadown and Lurgan, linked by the Craigavon plan of the 1960s, have Victorian terraces, post-war estates and newer developments. The countryside is dotted with detached rural houses and bungalows, often finished in roughcast or render.
Rural bungalows and detached homes commonly take extensions, loft rooms, driveways and fencing. Terraces suit rear extensions and window replacement, and rendered houses often need re-rendering or painting.
With that background in mind, here is how we typically handle new fascias, soffits and guttering for homes in Portadown, from the first visit to the finished result.
Permissions for new fascias, soffits and guttering in Portadown
For anyone in Portadown, the relevant framework is Northern Ireland's. The summary below is general, so we always contact the council about your address before putting a price in writing.
Replacing fascias, soffits and guttering does not normally need planning permission in Northern Ireland.
Like-for-like roofline work is not normally covered by building control. Bats are protected across the UK; if they roost under roof tiles, soffits or fascias, work stops and a licensed ecologist advises before it restarts.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.
How does the job run?
We look at the job
It starts with a survey at the property, free of charge. We check condition, access and services, ask how you want the finished result to look, and answer any questions you have about new fascias, soffits and guttering.
Price and scope agreed
We turn the survey notes into a written quote. The price is fixed for the specification we agree, and the document sets out materials, scope and payment stages in plain language.
Booking the work
Once you accept, we agree start dates, order materials and deal with any planning, building control or neighbour notices the job needs. You'll know who is coming and when before work begins.
Finish and handover
The job proceeds in the order set out in the programme, with dust and debris kept under control. Finally we tidy away, inspect the work together and pass the finished project over to you with its paperwork.

Questions about new fascias, soffits and guttering in Portadown
Do you cover Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh?
Yes. As well as Portadown, we cover Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh and the rest of County Armagh. Our coverage is UK-wide, so the process is the same wherever you are: a free site survey, a quote in writing that fixes the price for the agreed scope, and one point of contact while the work is planned and carried out.
Should I replace my fascias or just cap them?
Capping, or cladding over old timber fascias with thin uPVC, costs less but traps any rot underneath and hides the condition of the rafter ends. Full replacement removes the old boards so rafter ends can be checked and repaired, and gives a stronger fixing for gutters. We usually recommend full replacement unless the existing timber is genuinely sound.
What if birds or bats are nesting in my roofline?
Nesting birds and roosting bats are protected by law across the UK, so work that would disturb an active nest or roost must wait or be planned with advice. Birds commonly nest under the eaves in spring and summer. If we find signs during the survey, we explain the options and timing. New soffits can include gaps or boxes for wildlife if you want them.
How much do new fascias, soffits and guttering cost?
Replacing fascias, soffits and guttering on a typical 3-bed semi costs £1,700–£3,900. As a guide, allow roughly £80–£170 per metre of eaves plus fixed costs for scaffolding and waste. Coloured or woodgrain uPVC costs a little more than white, and gable bargeboards, dormers and rafter repairs add to the total. Guttering alone costs much less. We confirm a fixed price after measuring.

We cover BT62, along with the rest of County Armagh. If your postcode is not listed, get in touch anyway: our coverage is UK-wide, and we can usually arrange a survey wherever you live. Enter your postcode in the guide-price tool or contact form and we will confirm.
