an ivy to cover it.

Can someone help me with an evergreen species to do the job?

You might get some ideas from browsing the catalogue for these

I just want to reinforce the money-saving advice not to plant ivy on

woodwork, behind guttering, or under slates; and it will do so. There
are plenty of gentler climbers to choose from.
