Fascias & Soffits

We carry out all fascia and soffit repairs and upgrade/replace to the new upvc products.

Building products have improved over the years and now most new builds install upvc fascias and soffits.

Older properties can be upgraded. There are more advantages of having the new upvc products installed.

About Fascias & Soffits


Fascias sit below the roof tiles and act as a barrier between the outside and the edge of the roof, it protects the roof and the inside of your home from weather damage.

We also carry out repairs to the fascias and soffits, but would recommend the new upvc fittings for their durability, low maintenance and many other advantages over the older type fittings. 

Wooden fascias and soffits require maintenance as the weather, over time, rots the wood which then allows rain water to enter the roofline and cause problems such as dampness. Regular maintenance, checking the state of the wood and replacing any rotten fascias and soffits and painting them can prolong the lifespan.

UPVC fascia boards are designed for direct fixing to rafters. The new fascia boards are the perfect product for new homes or for replacing old fascias.

It is usual to carry out the replacement of soffits and gutters at the same time as replacing the fascias.

We carry out soffit repairs and also upgrade to the new upvc soffit installations.

Soffits are situated under the fascia boards and can be seen from ground level when you look up to the roofline.

Wooden fascias and soffits are prone to rot and crumble, with the weather conditions affecting them, plus they need regular maintenance to keep them functional.  The new upgrades are more durable, practical, functional and do not need regular maintenance. They help to keep birds and larger insects out of the roof space and prevent water ingress.  There are also choices of the type, style and colour. 

Vented soffits are also a welcome option since they allow for the air to circulate which helps prevent condensation from accessing the roofline/space.

There are many advantages for replacing the old wooden soffit boards. As roofing products/materials and building regulations update, they supercede the old materials. Most new builds now install the new soffit boards and older properties can be converted.

Fascias are usually upgraded at the same time, as are the gutters.
