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 arrange new fascias, soffits and guttering for homeowners in Peckham and the wider London. The job is planned, priced and managed by us and carried out by tradespeople engaged under our contract, so there is one agreement and one contact.

Building in Peckham
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 Peckham, 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 Peckham
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland each handle planning a little differently. Peckham comes under England, covered below, and we raise any questions with the council before your quote is finalised.
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.
The four stages
A visit to your home
First, someone visits your home in Peckham 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.
Your fixed price
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.
Plan and prepare
Preparation matters as much as the build. We agree access, parking and working hours with you, order materials in good time, and confirm any permissions so the job isn't held up once it starts.
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.
Why homeowners choose us
Questions about new fascias, soffits and guttering in Peckham
Do I need planning permission in Peckham?
It depends on the work, the size of the project, your property type and whether the building is listed or in a conservation area. Peckham is in England, so England'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.
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.
Can you combine new fascias, soffits and guttering with other work?
Yes. Because we manage several trades under one contract, we can plan new fascias, soffits and guttering alongside other work on your Peckham home, such as new windows with rendering, or a kitchen refit with an extension. Combining jobs can reduce repeat set-up such as scaffolding, skips and access, and every element is listed and priced in the same written quote.
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.
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.
