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 Morden home and give you a price in writing. Homes in London typically come in at £2,600–£5,800, VAT included, for this kind of work. We also cover Mitcham, Wimbledon and Carshalton, and the same steps apply wherever you are in London.

No two jobs cost exactly the same, but the ranges below give a fair picture of new fascias, soffits and guttering in Morden. Pricing for London runs about 30% above the national guide, and the overall guide is £2,600–£5,800 with VAT included. We'll confirm your figure after surveying the property for free.

Building in Morden
London's housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often in yellow London stock brick, with Georgian terraces in central districts and mansion blocks across many inner areas. Outer boroughs have large belts of interwar semis, and there are extensive post-war council estates. Many houses have been split into flats, and conservation areas are widespread.
Terraces suit side-return extensions and rear dormer loft conversions; interwar semis commonly take hip-to-gable lofts. Shared party walls, restricted parking and conservation rules often shape the plans and the programme.
None of this holds for every street in Morden, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing new fascias, soffits and guttering rather than assuming from its age alone.
Planning and building rules in Morden
Because Morden falls under England's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
Replacing fascias, soffits and guttering does not need planning permission in England unless the house is listed or a conservation area restricts materials.
Building Regulations do not normally apply to like-for-like roofline replacement. 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
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.
Quote in writing
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.
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.
The work itself
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Mitcham, Wimbledon and Carshalton?
Yes. As well as Morden, we cover Mitcham, Wimbledon and Carshalton and the rest of London. 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.
How much do new fascias, soffits and guttering cost?
Replacing fascias, soffits and guttering on a typical 3-bed semi costs £2,600–£5,800. 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.
Why do my gutters overflow?
Gutters usually overflow because they are blocked by leaves, moss or debris, have lost their fall so water sits rather than running to the outlet, or are too small for the roof area. Sagging brackets and failed joints also cause leaks. We check falls, joints and outlet sizes during the survey and may suggest deeper gutters or extra downpipes for large roofs.
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 happens at the survey?
We visit your home at a time that suits you, look at the area involved, take measurements and check access, condition and any services that might be affected. We talk through what you want from new fascias, soffits and guttering, explain the options and answer questions. There is no charge and no obligation; afterwards we send a written quote.
