Guttering, Fascias & Soffits in Falkirk

Nationally, new gutters on a typical semi run around £600–£1,300 in uPVC, although cast-iron-style aluminium costs more. Small repairs, such as a leaking joint, often cost £80–£250.

Timber boards rot when gutter overflow soaks them again and again over the years. Storms like Arwen make that worse each time they shake the gutters above. New uPVC boards remove that upkeep, since they never need paint or care, as long as they still let air in at the eaves.

Once a year for most homes, twice if trees hang over the roof. Clearing gutters is the cheapest roof job there is, since it takes an hour at most. Leaving them blocked is one of the priciest mistakes, once water starts tracking into the boards behind them.

Replacing the gutters on a typical semi runs around £600–£1,300 in uPVC, more in cast-iron-style aluminium. The total depends on the length of run and how many fittings it needs. Individual repairs — a leaking union, a re-aligned run, replacement brackets — are often £80–£250, so it's worth asking for a repair quote first.

Once a year for most homes, twice if you're under trees. Blocked gutters are the single cheapest roof problem to prevent. They're also one of the most expensive to ignore, once water starts tracking into the fascia and wall.

The fascia is the vertical board carrying the gutter; the soffit is the horizontal board underneath. Timber versions rot when gutter overflows soak them repeatedly. Although uPVC removes that maintenance, the installer still needs to include proper eaves ventilation.

Yes — fascia and soffit replacement is standard standalone work. The bottom row of tiles is lifted, boards swapped, and eaves felt is renewed if perished, with ventilation strips fitted. One to two days for most houses.
