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.
In County Londonderry, we price new fascias, soffits and guttering against our guide for Northern Ireland, £1,700–£3,900 including VAT, then adjust it once we have surveyed your home. We work across Derry/Londonderry, Coleraine, Limavady and Magherafelt and the rest of the county or region. Planning and building control requirements follow the rules for Northern Ireland, and we look into your property's position before a written quote is sent.

Homes in County Londonderry
Derry has Georgian and Victorian terraces around its walled city, alongside large post-war estates and newer developments. Coleraine, Limavady and Magherafelt mix older town centres with semis and estates, Portstewart has seaside villas, and rural areas have many detached homes and bungalows, often roughcast.
Terraces suit loft conversions and rear extensions, while rural bungalows commonly take extensions, loft rooms and driveways. Roughcast homes often need re-rendering, and coastal houses need roofline and window renewal.
The north coast faces Atlantic wind, rain and salt, and the Sperrins inland are colder and wetter.
Do you need permission in County Londonderry?
Homes in County Londonderry come under the regulations for Northern Ireland, summarised below. We don't rely on general rules alone: we confirm the position for your address with the council before a quote goes out.
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?
A visit to your home
A free survey comes first. It gives us what we need to price new fascias, soffits and guttering properly, including dimensions, existing materials and access for deliveries, and gives you the chance to ask anything you like.
Price and scope agreed
The quote arrives in writing, not over the phone. It covers the full scope, the finishes you've chosen, any exclusions and the payment schedule, with a fixed price tied to that specification.
Plan and prepare
We handle the paperwork side: checking whether planning permission or building control approval is needed, submitting applications where they are, and scheduling the trades and materials around your dates.
The work itself
Work goes ahead as scheduled and you deal with one contact throughout. When the last trade leaves, we clear and clean the site, talk you through what has been done and pass on any certificates and care instructions.
What you can expect from us
Frequently asked questions
How do I look after uPVC roofline?
uPVC fascias and soffits need little upkeep: wash them once or twice a year with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding solvents and abrasive cleaners. Gutters need clearing at least once a year, usually in late autumn, and more often near trees. Check downpipes are running clear after heavy rain. Gutter guards can reduce how often clearing is needed.
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.
Do you need to access the roof tiles?
Replacing fascias usually means lifting or supporting the bottom row of roof tiles, because the felt or membrane must run over the new fascia into the gutter. Eaves protection trays are fitted to replace perished felt at the edge and stop rain getting behind the gutter. The tiles are then refixed. We include this detail in every full roofline replacement.
Do you cover Derry/Londonderry, Coleraine and Limavady?
Yes. As well as County Londonderry, we cover Derry/Londonderry, Coleraine and Limavady and the rest of County Londonderry. 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.
Do I need planning permission in County Londonderry?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. County Londonderry is in Northern Ireland, so Northern Ireland's rules apply. Many smaller jobs need no planning application, but some still need building control approval. We check what applies to your address before quoting.
