π Call Now: 0116 319 1348Failing fascias and soffits show as peeling paint, sagging gutters and daylight at the eaves. The key question is whether the timber is sound enough to cap, or gone and needing replacement.
When it is not the answer: Where the timber is genuinely sound, capping over it is the cheaper, legitimate option — we only recommend full replacement where the timber has actually failed Read the full guide.
We inspect the timber behind the fascia to judge honestly whether capping is viable or replacement is needed.
A clear price for capping or full replacement in uPVC, with vented soffit included as standard.
Roofline work is usually booked within one to two weeks.
We remove or cap the old boards, treat exposed timber, and fit the new uPVC roofline with vented soffit.
Old material removed, guttering rehung on sound board, and the guarantee handed over.
| Job | Typical duration |
|---|---|
| Single elevation | half a day to a day |
| Full roofline — semi | 1–2 days |
| Full roofline — detached | 2–3 days |
Roofline work is largely weather-independent, though we avoid working at height in high wind.
Roofline work needs scaffold or tower access along the eaves; it is itemised in the quote and we arrange it. Scaffold is specified for: full rooflines, three-storey terraces, and any eaves not safely reached from a tower - always itemised in your written quote, never a hidden extra, and we arrange it.
Victorian terraces in Highfields and Belgrave mean rear-access scaffold and permit-controlled pavement space; the open post-war estates at Braunstone and Thurmaston are more straightforward to scaffold. Pavement scaffold and skip permits go through Leicester City Council; allow a few working days on streets like East Park Road, Narborough Road, the terraced streets off London Road where space is tight.
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| uPVC fascia (per linear metre) | £100–£150 | Fitted |
| Capping over sound timber (per m) | £60–£90 | Where timber is sound |
| Full roofline — semi | £1,500–£4,000 | Incl. vented soffit |
| Full roofline — detached | £3,000–£6,000+ | Larger eaves run |
| Soffit only (per metre) | £25–£45 | Vented |
Worked example: A full uPVC roofline on a 1930s Oadby semi with vented soffit throughout, replacing rotted softwood fascia, typically £2,400–£3,000 all round.
Staged on full rooflines; nothing up front before materials are on site. Capping quoted honestly only where the timber is sound.
Covering LE1, LE2, LE3, LE4, LE5 and surrounding postcodes.
Roofline workmanship carries a 10-year written guarantee; the uPVC carries a manufacturer warranty of 25 years or more on top.
If a fault appears in covered work, we come back and put it right. No quibbling, no re-charge.
A day or two of external work with the old boards skipped; no need to be home, though we need eaves access agreed. You do not need to stay home for external work - we just need power and access agreed in advance.
Fascia and soffit work runs year-round in most conditions. Leicesterβs inland Midlands position means wind-driven rain is the main roofing stress rather than coastal salt.
Free, no-obligation. No call-out fee. Local team.
Stoneygate contains some of Leicester's finest Edwardian and late Victorian residential architecture.

For most Leicester properties, fascia and soffit replacement can be carried out from a combination of access tower and extending ladders. Scaffold is required for properties above two storeys, for detached properties with complex rooflines, or where the distance from ground to eaves exceeds 6 metres. We assess access requirements on the survey and include any necessary scaffold in the written quote β there are no hidden access costs added during the job.
We fully remove all existing timber before installing uPVC — no overlay. Full removal allows rafter foot inspection, ensures a sound substrate for fixing, and delivers the full 30–40 year lifespan of new material. Overlaying over rotten timber traps moisture and produces early failure. Vented soffit panels fitted as standard to maintain required roof void cross-ventilation. New guttering included to correct fall and specification.

Stoneygate's housing stock represents the most architecturally significant roofing work in our Leicester coverage area. The large detached and semi-detached properties on Knighton Road, London Road, Springfield Road and surrounding streets were built from the 1880s through to 1914 by Leicester's successful industrialists and merchants. Roof geometries are complex β multiple valleys, hipped sections, prominent stacks, occasional turrets and decorative ridge tiles. Lead detailing is extensive: open valleys, bay window lead flat roofs, complex chimney junction details with soakers and back gutters. Conservation area designation applies to significant parts of Stoneygate, meaning material matching is not optional but required. We specify correct materials and assess conservation area implications on every Stoneygate survey.
Our quoting process is straightforward and quick. Call 0116 319 1348 to book a free survey β we typically confirm a visit within 24–48 hours and can often attend within the same week for standard jobs. The survey takes 20–45 minutes depending on the scope of work, and we provide a written itemised quote within 48 hours of the visit.
The written quote specifies every element of the work: scope, materials by name, access method, guarantee period and payment terms. We never start work without written acceptance of the quote. We don't require payment in full before work starts — a reasonable deposit of 10–25% covers material ordering, with final payment on satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfer and card payment and provide a VAT invoice on all work.
Once you accept the written quote, we schedule the work and confirm a start date. For larger jobs involving scaffold, we confirm scaffold erection dates separately. We contact you the working day before the start date to confirm the team is attending. On the day, the lead roofer will introduce themselves and walk through the planned work before starting. Any unexpected findings — structural timber problems, additional lead work required — are communicated immediately with a written price before any additional work is carried out. We don't make decisions on site without your knowledge and approval.
No call-out fees. No obligation. Local roofers covering Stoneygate and all of Leicester LE2.
