What are fascias and soffits?

Fascias are the boards fixed to the roof edge that support guttering, while soffits sit underneath the fascia and help ventilate the roof space.

How do I know if my fascias need replacing?

Signs include visible rot, cracks, sagging guttering, peeling paint or water damage around the roofline.

Should guttering be replaced at the same time?

Often yes. Replacing guttering alongside fascias and soffits can improve alignment and reduce future maintenance.

Are uPVC fascias and soffits better than timber?

uPVC requires less maintenance, while timber may be preferred for traditional properties. The right choice depends on the building style.

Do fascias and soffits affect roof ventilation?

Yes. Ventilated soffits help maintain airflow and reduce condensation in the roof space.
