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.
We take on new fascias, soffits and guttering throughout Magherafelt and the surrounding BT45 postcodes, as well as in Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim. The guide range for this work in Northern Ireland is £1,700–£3,900 including VAT; where your project falls depends on its size, the materials you pick and how easy the site is to reach. A free survey turns that range into a fixed figure.

Local housing and new fascias, soffits and guttering
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.
These patterns matter for new fascias, soffits and guttering: older walls, roofs and floors in Magherafelt can need different materials or extra preparation compared with newer homes.
Planning and building rules in Magherafelt
Homes in Magherafelt 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?
Free site survey
First, someone visits your home in Magherafelt to see the space, take measurements and note anything that could affect the work, such as access or the condition of what is there. There is no charge for this visit.
Price and scope agreed
After the survey we send a quote for new fascias, soffits and guttering that fixes the price for the scope we've agreed. If you want to change materials or scope, we revise it in writing before anything is booked.
Getting ready
With the quote agreed, we book the work in and handle preparation: permissions where needed, building control notifications, material orders and access arrangements for your Magherafelt property.
Finish and handover
During the work we protect the areas around it and tidy up at the end of each day. Once complete, we check the finish, remove our materials and hand over paperwork such as building control sign-off where it applies.
How we work
Frequently asked questions
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.
Who do I deal with during the job?
One point of contact manages your project from survey to handover. They schedule the trades working under our contract, keep you updated on progress, and are the person to call with any question. You don't need to coordinate builders, electricians or decorators separately, because that is part of what we do.
How long does roofline replacement take?
Replacing fascias, soffits and guttering on a typical semi-detached house usually takes one to three days, once scaffolding is in place. Larger houses, dormers and gable bargeboards take longer, as do rafter repairs found when the old boards come off. We work one elevation at a time and connect the new guttering as we go, so rainwater is always carried away.
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.
Do you cover Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim?
Yes. As well as Magherafelt, we cover Cookstown, Ballymena and Antrim 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.
