Quick answer

What did we do on this CV6 job?

We removed a plant that had filled the gap from soffit to roof edge, fitted a new fascia board and cleaned the shared downpipe, so both houses now drain freely.

What the customer needed

We were called out to this Coventry CV6 home for a free gutter inspection. The gutters themselves were already clean, so there was nothing to charge for there.

The customer asked us to look at the fascia board at the front of the house. A large plant was growing straight out of it, right where the two houses join.

Work completed

The plant had grown so much that it filled the whole gap from the soffit to the top of the roof edge. All of that growth and its roots had to come out by hand.

Behind it the fascia board had rotted, so the whole board was removed and replaced with a new one.

We then cleaned out the shared downpipe, which had been taking the debris from the plant.

The result

Where the two houses join, both homes now have a clean fascia and a flowing downpipe, so rainwater runs away properly instead of soaking into the timber and brickwork.

Plants in a fascia are easy to miss from the ground. If you can see green growing out of your roofline, book a free gutter inspection and we will tell you honestly what it needs.
