Norfolk
Fascias, Soffits and Guttering in Dereham
LDR Plastering & Rendering Specialists fit fascias, soffits and guttering across Dereham and the open mid-Norfolk countryside around it. Luke Rogers and the team replace rotten timber with low-maintenance uPVC in white, black, anthracite grey or rosewood, fully insured, with a free no-obligation quote every time.
Dereham sits in the middle of Norfolk with open country on almost every side, and that exposure is hard on a roofline. Wind-driven rain hits the weather-facing elevation month after month, and it is usually the timber fascia boards that give way first. Once the paint has broken and water gets into the grain the board softens, the gutter brackets lose their grip, and the whole edge of the roof starts to sag and let water in behind it.
Replacing tired timber with uPVC fascias and soffits puts an end to that cycle. uPVC does not rot and it does not need repainting every few years, which on a two-storey rural property is a job most people would rather not be doing off a ladder in a Norfolk wind. Where a property genuinely suits timber we will fit timber instead, and we will tell you straight which makes more sense for your house rather than pushing one at you.
What we fit on a Dereham roofline
- uPVC or timber fascias and soffits
- New guttering and downpipes, or repairs to what is there
- Ventilated soffits to keep the roof space breathing
- Colour options including white, black, anthracite grey and rosewood
Guttering usually goes on at the same time, because there is little sense in fixing new boards and then hanging old, sagging plastic off them. New gutters are set to a proper fall so rainwater runs to the outlet instead of standing in the run, and downpipes are routed to carry it well clear of the wall. On the older houses closer to the town centre that often solves a damp patch on an outside wall that has been there for years.
Colour is worth a moment of thought. White is still the most common choice and suits a rendered or painted frontage, black and anthracite grey look sharp against brick and pair well with modern windows, and rosewood keeps the look of stained timber without any of the upkeep. We will bring the options to the quote so you can see them against your own walls.
Most fascia, soffit and guttering jobs in Dereham take a day or two depending on the size of the property and how easy the access is, so it is not a long disruption. We are fully insured, we clear the old boards and guttering away, and we leave the site tidy.
If your boards are peeling, your gutters are overflowing or there is a stain running down the wall below the eaves, ring Luke on 07388 771580. The quote is free, there is no obligation, and we will give you a fixed price after looking at the roofline properly.
Fascia, Soffit & Guttering in Dereham: common questions
How long does a fascia and soffit replacement take in Dereham?
Most jobs are done in a day or two, depending on the size of the property and the access. We will confirm the timing when we give you your free quote.
Should I replace the guttering at the same time as the boards?
Usually yes. There is little point fixing new fascias and then hanging tired guttering off them. Fitting both together means the gutters get a proper fall and the water goes where it should.
What colours can I have on an exposed rural property?
uPVC comes in white, black, anthracite grey and rosewood among others. All are low maintenance and need nothing more than an occasional wash. Call 07388 771580 to talk options.
What our customers say
"Luke and his team are some of the finest building contractors I have had the pleasure of dealing with over the last 25 years. The work completed for us was first class and the guys were respectful, polite and extremely tidy. Absolutely delighted with the finish and we'd have no hesitation in recommending Luke and LDR to anyone. Gary Baldwin - Eye, Suffolk"
"We are thrilled with the work that Luke, Brandon and Kirk have completed for us on our home. It has completely transformed the property, and given it a whole new identity. We had admired LDR's work in a nearby village on a number of properties, when we finally decided to approach Luke and team for a quotation, which we found to be very reasonable. Luke worked with us very openly and without pressure on a timeframe for completing our works, navigating inclement weather and our personal reservations. The team worked in a efficient, orderly and clean manner whilst at our property and filled us with great confidence that we had chosen the right contractor. An incredibly friendly, amenable and jovial team, and we thoroughly enjoyed having them around and can't thank you all enough for helping us make our house finally look more like a home"
"Luke and his team have done a few plastering jobs for us and we can't recommend them highly enough. Polite, efficient, tidy and work that is carried out to a high standard. When we need more work doing Luke will be our first point of contact."
"The LDR team we're great, they carried out internal plastering and and house rendering for us and we are really happy. Luke communicated well and was flexible to help us hit certain dates as to not slow down the project. We still have elements to finish so will be in touch in the near future."
"Outstanding work by conscientious workers.They take real pride in their work. Arrive on time and leave when each stage finished even when this is quite late and beyond 'normal work hours' Always tidy up as they go. Very polite and appreciative. Good communication on what each stage involves and materials used and why. Chose K Rend in pearl on the three outbuildings and it looks amazing."
"Luke, Brandon and Kirk have just applied K rend to the front of my house. Cannot thank the guys enough for an amazing job! It's so hard to get tradesmen you can trust these days but I have to say I would 100% recommend LDR Plastering. Very professional and clean and tidy when working and Luke obviously cares about his customers. Just make sure you give them plenty cups of tea!!! Luke has also done plastering for us inside and again did an amazing job. Can't thank them enough. 5 stars!"
