The work

Roofline Services for Richmond homes

Richmond is a short run for us, so a look at a roofline services job here is a visit rather than a day of travel priced into the quote. We work across TW9 and out into Kew, Twickenham, Petersham, Ham, Barnes.

Roofline work gets done piecemeal on a lot of houses: a new gutter screwed to a rotten fascia, or a fascia capped over without the soffit being touched. It looks better for a couple of years and then the same problems come back.

Doing it as one job means the old boards come off, the rafter feet get looked at, and new fascia, soffit and gutter go on in the correct sequence with eaves ventilation built in. The result is an edge that sheds water and lets the roof breathe.

  • Fascia and soffit

    New boards fitted level and true, with the tiles or slates dressed back over the top.

The process

How a roofline services job runs in Richmond

  1. Step 01

    Measure and inspect

    We check the boards, the spar ends and the gutter falls before quoting.

  2. Step 02

    Choose the finish

    White, black, grey or woodgrain, and square or ogee gutter profile.

  3. Step 03

    Fit

    Stripped, timbers repaired, new roofline fitted and the tiles dressed back down.

  4. Step 04

    Test the falls

    Water run through the gutter to confirm it drains, then the site cleared.

The price

Roofline Services costs

What roofline services costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • Total metres of fascia, soffit, bargeboard and gutter.
  • Whether spar ends need repairing once the boards are off.
  • Number of storeys and the access required.
  • Colour and profile, since woodgrain and ogee cost more than white square.

Questions

Roofline Services in Richmond: common questions

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

What is capping over, and why do you not do it?

Capping means screwing a thin uPVC sheet over the existing timber fascia. It hides rot rather than removing it, and the gutter ends up fixed through plastic into soft wood. We take the old boards off instead.

Do I need the soffit vented?

Almost always. A roof space needs air moving through it to control moisture, and on most older houses the eaves were sealed up at some point. Vented soffit is the easiest way to restore it.

Can you do just the front of the house?

Yes. Many people do the elevation that shows first, then the rest later. It is slightly less efficient than doing it all at once because of the access, and we will price both so you can choose.

How long does a full roofline take?

A typical three-bedroom semi is two to three days once access is up, longer if spar ends need repairing. You get the expected run of days with the quote.

Do the bottom tiles have to come off?

The bottom course is lifted so the new fascia can go on and the tiles can be dressed back down into the gutter, then it goes back as it was. Anyone fitting a fascia without lifting it is capping over.
