Fascia and Soffit Replacement
A roofline is a term used to describe the roof of your property. It encompasses 5 significant features: the fascia, soffit, bargeboard, guttering, and capping board. We provide high-quality and durable roofline replacements. So, if you suspect your roofline is damaged or you can see signs of wear and tear, it is important to act quickly.
What are Fascias?
Fascia’s are perhaps one of the most underrated features of your home’s roofline. A UPVC board, the purpose of a fascia is to cover the ends of roof rafters, fittings, and to keep roofline tiles in place. Fascia’s act as a barrier between the ever-changing weather and the edge of your property’s roof. Fascia’s bear the brunt of the weather and help protect both the roof and the interior of your home from any damage.
Fascia’s are the most visible part of your roofline design, so are designed with both function and aesthetics in mind. Made to enhance the overall look of your property, fascias provide both a cosmetic and a practical solution to your property’s architecture.
What are Soffits?
Found on the underside of the fascia board of your roofline, soffits are visible from the ground. The word ‘soffit’ is derived from the French language, literally meaning ‘something fixed underneath’. And that’s what it is. A soffit is a material that covers your eaves. Without it, your property’s beams would be fully exposed to the weather and susceptible to mould and rot. Not only do soffits enhance the overall aesthetics of your property’s roofline, but they also provide function you may not have considered.

FAQs and Useful Information
How do I know if my fascia and soffit need replacing?
You might need to replace your fascia and soffit if you notice visible signs of damage such as cracking or peeling paint. Other indicators include leaks, ventilation issues, or pest infestations. If the guttering is sagging or you notice water stains appear on exterior walls, this could be a sign the fascia and soffit aren’t providing enough support and need replacing.
Do you need scaffolding to replace fascia and soffit?
Whether scaffolding is needed to replace fascia and soffit depends on your property’s size and specific requirements. Smaller properties may only require ladders for access, while larger or multi-storey homes often need scaffolding to ensure a safe and secure fitting. The complexity of the roofline and any access challenges also influence the decision. Proper safety measures are crucial, and a professional assessment will determine the best approach for your home.

UPVC fascia and soffit have an impressive life expectancy of 20-35 years, thanks to their durability and weather resistance. This longevity makes them a cost-effective choice for protecting the roofline of your home.

UPVC fascia and soffit require minimal maintenance compared with other materials such as wood. The occasional cleaning with soapy water will help to remove dirt and keep them looking like new.

What are the benefits of a uPVC fascia and soffit over wood?
