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.
For a homeowner in Worthing, planning new fascias, soffits and guttering tends to begin with two questions: what will it cost, and how disruptive will it be? Our guide range is £2,200–£5,000 including VAT, and a typical job runs to 1–3 days for a typical house. Both numbers firm up once we have seen the property, measured up and agreed exactly what is included.

What are homes like around Worthing?
Chichester has Georgian brick streets, Downland villages use flint and brick, and Horsham stone slabs cover some older roofs. Worthing and Bognor Regis have interwar and post-war bungalows and semis, Crawley was planned as a post-war new town, and Wealden villages to the north feature tile-hanging and timber framing.
Bungalows commonly suit loft conversions and extensions; new-town homes often take window, roofline and cladding renewal. Flint and stone properties need lime repointing, and coastal homes may need external decorating more often.
None of this holds for every street in Worthing, which is why we look at your actual house before pricing new fascias, soffits and guttering rather than assuming from its age alone.
Permissions for new fascias, soffits and guttering in Worthing
As Worthing is in England, read the following with that system of planning and building control in mind. We check what applies to your house with the council before you receive a quote.
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.

We arrange a free site survey on a date convenient to you. We measure up, look at the existing structure and access, and discuss your plans for new fascias, soffits and guttering so the price reflects your home.

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.
Dates and permissions
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 Worthing property.
The work itself
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.

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.
Do you cover Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Portslade?
Yes. As well as Worthing, we cover Lancing, Shoreham-by-Sea and Portslade and the rest of West Sussex. 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.
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.
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.
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.
