Fascias, Soffits and Guttering in Thetford
LDR Plastering & Rendering Specialists fit fascias, soffits and guttering across Thetford and the Breckland villages around it. From the older flint and brick properties near the river to the post-war estates on the edge of town, we replace tired timber with uPVC or new timber. Fully insured, free quotes.
Thetford sits in the Brecks, on sandy heathland with the pine forest on its doorstep, and the town is a real mix. Near the river and the town centre there are older flint and brick buildings, while the large estates built when the town expanded to take London overspill ring the outside. The estate housing is now well into middle age, which is exactly the point at which original timber fascias and the first run of plastic guttering start to need replacing.
The sign is usually the same. Paint flaking off a fascia board, a gutter that overflows at one corner every time it rains hard, a dark stain running down the wall underneath. Behind that, the board is often soft and the brackets are pulling out of it. Left long enough, water finds its way to the roof timbers and the loft, and the job stops being a roofline job.
Roofline work in Thetford and the Brecks
- uPVC or timber fascias and soffits
- New guttering and downpipes, and repairs to existing runs
- Ventilated soffits to keep the roof space ventilated
- Colours including white, black, anthracite grey and rosewood
There is another reason to look at the soffits in a town surrounded by forest. Pine needles and leaf litter fill gutters faster than most people expect, and a blocked gutter sends water straight over the edge and down the wall. When we fit new guttering we set it to a proper fall and route the downpipes so the water goes well clear, which makes a blockage far less likely to do any harm.
uPVC is what most people choose now. It does not rot, it never wants painting, and it handles the weather that comes across the open Breckland without complaint. Timber is still available where a property calls for it. On colour, white is the standard and always looks right, black and anthracite grey suit the brick estate housing and modern windows, and rosewood gives a stained timber look with none of the maintenance.
Most jobs are done within a day or two, depending on the size of the house and how easy the access is around the property. We are fully insured, we clear the old boards and guttering away, and we leave the job clean.

Fascia, Soffit & Guttering in Thetford: common questions
My gutters keep blocking with pine needles. Can you help?
Yes. We clear and replace guttering and set new runs to a proper fall with the downpipes routed to carry water well clear of the wall. Call 07388 771580 for a free quote.
Do you work on the older estate housing in Thetford?
We do. A lot of that housing is at the age where the original timber fascias and first guttering are due for replacement, and uPVC is usually the sensible swap.
How much disruption is there?
Very little. Most jobs take a day or two, the work is all outside, and we take the old boards and guttering away and leave the site tidy.
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!"
