Listed Building Owners: Gutters, Fascias & Soffits in Clitheroe
Listed-building roofs are heritage projects — the wrong repair is worse than no repair, and consent comes before quote.
The gutters, fascias & soffits work itself
Once the timbers behind a fascia start to rot, the rest of the roof edge is on borrowed time. We strip out failed timbers, refit with capped uPVC fascia, ventilated soffit and matching uPVC guttering, and rehang the bottom courses of slate or tile cleanly. We also offer straightforward gutter clearance and downpipe repair for older properties.
