Gutters Fascia & Soffit Cost Survey 2023

Gutters Fascia & Soffit Price Survey

A while ago we carried out a survey with some tradesmen on our website to find out how much it would cost ex vat for materials and labour to replace old gutters, fascia & soffit on an average semi-detached 3 bedroom house. We also asked for any tips they had to get the best job done.  First of all, why would you need to replace gutters, fascia, and soffit?  Well there are several reasons why you would need to replace gutters, fascia, and soffit and some of these are as follows:-

  1. Water damage: Gutters, fascia, and soffit are important components of a home’s roofing system, and they work together to protect the structure from water damage. Over time, these components can become damaged, leading to leaks and other water-related issues.
  2. Wear and tear: As with any other component of a home, gutters, fascia, and soffit can become worn out over time. They may become cracked, warped, or otherwise damaged, making them less effective at their job.
  3. Pest infestations: Gutters, fascia, and soffit can also become a target for pests such as rodents and insects, which can cause damage and create potential health hazards.
  4. Exterior attractiveness: In addition to functional reasons, replacing gutters, fascia, and soffit can also improve the appearance of a home. If these components are damaged or outdated, replacing them can give your home a refreshed, updated look.

Overall, it’s important to keep your gutters, fascia, and soffit in good condition to ensure that your home is protected from water damage, pests, and other potential hazards. If you notice any signs of damage or wear and tear, it’s best to address them promptly and consider replacing these components if necessary.

Well, getting back to the costs involved, you can see a sample of the replies we got from some tradesmen on our website below:-

  3. Energy savings: Upgrading to energy-efficient fixtures and appliances can help to reduce energy consumption and lower utility bills.
  4. Improved aesthetics: A bathroom renovation allows for a fresh new look, and the opportunity to incorporate your personal style and design preferences.
  5. Improved accessibility: Renovations can be done to make the bathroom more accessible for people with disabilities or mobility issues.
  6. Correcting a problem: For example, correcting issues with dampness or water leakage.

In our survey, we asked our tradesmen, how much it would cost to renovate a 30sq m bathroom (tiling, plumbing and electrics). We also asked if there were any tips they could give to get the best job done.
