Depending on how many sides on the house and size of barge board but around £2200

Marley · Answer

The cost will depend on the length and condition of the existing barge boards, as well as access. As a rough guide, replacing rotten timber barge boards with uPVC would typically be around £50–£90 per metre, including labour and materials. For a more accurate price, we’d need to inspect the property and measure the areas involved.

On average,  your looking around  £740
However,  this  depends on certain factors,  roof size,  accessibility, scaffolding,  but I am prepared to give free quote when accessing job in hand

Well depends on the condition of the wood if it’s really rotted it may need to have the wood replaced and then capped with pvc but that’s the difference in the price if new wood isn’t needed to cap with pvc on gable verge would cost roughly £900 with scaffolding if new wood is needed your looking more like £1200-£2000 including scaffolding

Hi, a few things need to factored in with this work, access to the barge boards (do you need scaffolding? ) and what colour uPVC you would like, finally the size of each gable, bigger gable=more materials, pictures would help, but a site visit would be needed, hope this helps.

Kevin · Answer

Depending where you are what area you are in what thickness you need averaging between 30 to £50

James · Answer

Hi, uPVC is a great option as it’s low-maintenance, won’t rot or peel like timber, is weather-resistant and keeps its finish for years. It’s also easy to clean and provides a long-lasting finish.

Luke · Answer

Around £1250 mark with materials, access equipment and waste removal

Jo · Answer

If the existing timber barge boards are rotten, we would normally recommend removing them completely rather than simply covering them with uPVC, as capping over rotten timber can hide further deterioration.

As a rough guide, replacing barge boards with new uPVC is usually around £600–£1,200 for a typical gable end, depending on the size and height of the property, access, scaffolding requirements and whether there is any damage to the timber or roof verge behind the existing boards.

uPVC is a good long-term option as it won't rot or need repainting like timber.

We'd recommend having the gable inspected first so the condition of the existing boards and surrounding roofline can be checked, then an accurate quotation can be provided.
