The work

Boards that hold the gutter up

A fascia board does real work: it takes the weight of a full gutter, and on many houses it also holds the bottom course of tiles in line. When it softens, brackets pull out and the gutter starts to sag and overflow, which then wets the wall below.

Soffits close the gap under the eaves. Sealed solid, they stop the roof space ventilating and encourage condensation in the loft, so we fit vented soffit or over-fascia vents as part of the work.

  • Timber repairs happen before the new board goes on, not instead of.
  • Ventilation is treated as part of the job rather than an extra.
  • Boards fitted level so the gutter run is right.
  • Old material taken away, including the nails and offcuts.

What's included

What fascias & soffits covers

  • Old boards removed

    Existing fascia and soffit taken off so the timber behind can be seen.

  • Rafter foot repairs

    Rotten spar ends cut back and spliced or sistered where needed.

  • New fascia

    Full replacement board, fitted level so the gutter has a true line to run on.

  • New soffit

    Vented or solid soffit as the roof needs, cut neatly to the wall.

  • Ventilation

    Continuous vented soffit or over-fascia ventilation to move air into the roof space.

  • Tile line reinstated

    The bottom course dressed back down over the new fascia and into the gutter.

The price

Fascias & Soffits costs

What fascias & soffits costs comes down to what you actually have, not a price list. Two jobs that sound identical can be an hour of work or a week of it, which is why we do not price roofing over the phone. We come and look, then put a figure in writing.

  • Metres of fascia and soffit, and the depth of the soffit.
  • How much rafter foot repair is needed.
  • Height and access, particularly on a three-storey elevation.
  • Colour and finish, since woodgrain foils cost more than white.

How it works

How a fascias & soffits job runs

  1. Step 01

    Inspect the eaves

    We check the boards and the spar ends, because that decides the real scope.

  2. Step 02

    Agree the finish

    Colour, board depth and whether the soffit is vented or solid.

  3. Step 03

    Strip and repair

    Old boards off, timber repairs done and shown to you before covering.

  4. Step 04

    Fit and finish

    New boards on, tiles dressed back, gutter refitted and tested.

Questions

Fascias & Soffits: common questions

The questions we get asked most often about this work. Anything else, ring and ask.

Still not sure? Ring and ask. It is usually quicker than typing it out, and you will speak to the person who would do the work.

Should I go uPVC or timber?

uPVC is the practical choice on most houses: it does not need painting and it lasts. On a period property where the detail matters, or where a conservation condition applies, painted timber is the right answer and we will fit it.

My gutter sags in the middle. Is that the fascia?

Usually. Brackets lose their grip in soft timber and the gutter drops, which stops it draining. Replacing the fascia and refixing the gutter properly is the fix, rather than adding another bracket.

Do you need scaffolding?

For a two-storey eaves run, usually a tower or scaffold is needed to work safely and get a straight line. For a single-storey or garage eaves it can often be done from ladders. We will tell you which at the quote.

Do uPVC fascias need painting?

No, and that is the main reason people move away from timber. They want washing down occasionally, and a woodgrain foil holds its colour better than a cheap white board on a sunny elevation.

Can they be fitted without scaffolding?

On a garage or single-storey eaves, usually. At two storeys we would want a tower or scaffold, both to work safely and to get a straight line along the run, and that is in the quote.
