Costessey runs from the older cottages of Old Costessey beside the Wensum valley through to large 1980s and 1990s estates on the higher ground, and the difference in property age means we see very different fascia and guttering problems across the village.
Older properties in Old Costessey and around the New Costessey shopping area often have deeper timber soffits that trap moisture on north-facing elevations. We see a lot of delaminating ply soffit boards here, particularly where overhanging trees keep the boards damp for months at a time. uPVC replacement boards are the practical long-term answer for most of these homes.
On the larger detached homes further up towards Ringland Hills, length of guttering run is often the issue — long plastic runs sag at the brackets and pond water rather than draining it. We re-pitch and re-bracket before recommending full replacement, which often saves the homeowner money. Call us to arrange a free survey at your Costessey property.
