- Can I update the roof or fascias on an older concrete garage?Yes, most older concrete garages can be updated without replacing the whole building. If the walls are sound, you can fit new roof sheets or replace the old fascias with PVCu ones. A lot of people in Surrey do this when they move into a property and inherit an ageing garage. The upgrade usually makes a big difference to the garage's appearance and improves weather protection. It can sometimes be tricky, but not insurmountable and can be much cheaper than a full new build.
- How do my roof and fascia choices affect how long the garage lasts?Choosing better-quality roof sheets and PVCu fascias can add years to the life of a concrete garage. Surrey’s weather can be quite damp, especially in shaded or tree-heavy areas, so a tougher roof covering helps keep moisture out and reduces problems later on. PVCu fascias don’t rot or need painting, so they stay looking clean and protect the roofline better. Altogether, these choices mean fewer repairs, less maintenance and a garage that holds its value better over time.
- What roof styles can I choose for a concrete garage?In Surrey, most homeowners choose between pent (sloping) roofs and apex (traditional pitched) roofs. Pent roofs work well when you need the garage close to a boundary or want a simple, modern look. Apex roofs are popular for extra height inside and better airflow, which helps in damp areas. Tile-effect and fibre-cement options are common in Surrey because they blend well with local house styles and meet local planning preferences. Whichever style you pick, the roof type will affect headroom, drainage and how the garage looks next to your home.
- Which fascia options are available, and what’s best?You can pick from timber fascias or maintenance-free PVCu fascias. In Surrey, PVCu is the most popular because it doesn’t need painting and holds up well in wetter, shaded gardens or under trees. Timber gives a more traditional look but will need regular upkeep. PVCu can be matched to common Surrey house colours such as white, black, or anthracite, helping the garage blend in well with both older and newer properties.
- Which roof coverings hold up best over the years?In Surrey, fibre-cement sheets and tile-effect steel panels tend to last the longest. Fibre-cement handles damp weather well and doesn’t rust, which helps if your garden has trees or shaded spots. Tile-effect steel is very strong yet lightweight, giving the garage a more “proper roof” look that complements many Surrey homes. Standard steel sheets still work fine, but the upgraded coverings usually need less attention over the years and stay looking tidier.
