Bowthorpe was largely built from the late 1970s onwards as a planned residential area on Norwich's western edge, which means most properties here are reaching the age where original uPVC fascias and soffits are discolouring, cracking or pulling away from the wall.
Early-generation uPVC from the 1980s and early 1990s becomes brittle as the plasticiser breaks down, and in a wet Norfolk winter that often means cracked corners and open joints that feed water directly onto the timber wallplate beneath. Replacing like-for-like with modern uPVC is usually a straightforward half-day job on a standard Bowthorpe semi or terrace.
Guttering on these estates is typically 112mm half-round plastic, and the commonest fault we find is the running outlet joint failing where it connects to the downpipe — a small leak that over several years can saturate the wall beneath it. We inspect the full system from ridge to drain when we quote, so nothing gets missed. Call us to book a free roof-line survey in Bowthorpe.
