Service Overview
Fascia, Soffit & Bargeboards — explained properly.
What it is
Fascia, soffit and bargeboard replacement covers the entire visible roofline of your home — the horizontal fascia board behind the gutter, the underside soffit panel, and the diagonal bargeboards on gable ends. All replaced in maintenance-free 11mm uPVC with co-extruded UV-stable colour.
Who it's for
Owners of homes 20+ years old with original timber roofline, particularly anyone whose paint is flaking, soffits are blistered or rotten, or fascias show visible water staining. Landlords renewing rental property exteriors. Homeowners refreshing for sale.
When you need it
When you can see flaking paint or rotten timber from the ground, when birds or wasps are getting into the roof void via failed soffits, when an old roofline simply makes a recently-painted house look tired, or as a planned upgrade alongside new gutters or a re-roof.
Why professional matters
Timber roofline needs painting every 4–5 years and replacement every 25–35 — a substantial lifetime cost in maintenance alone. uPVC, fitted correctly, needs nothing more than an annual wipe-down for 30+ years.
Cost of Doing Nothing
What happens if you leave it?
Rotten roofline is one of the most visible signs of property neglect — and one of the silent destroyers of the roof itself.
The risks
- Rotten fascia means rotten rafter ends — and rafter end replacement requires tile / slate removal and structural carpentry. A serious remedial cost per elevation if left untreated.
- Failed soffits let wasps, bees, birds and rodents into the loft void — pest control and clean-up costs spiral.
- Unvented soffits cause loft condensation — the leading cause of timber rot in modern UK roofs.
- Capping over rotten timber with thin uPVC traps the moisture, accelerating decay invisibly.
- Wood-rotting fungi propagate from rotten fascia into roof structure — a leak you cannot see until ceilings start moving.
Common mistakes
- Choosing the cheapest uPVC — 7–8mm 'capping' is not the same product as 11mm replacement fascia and never lasts.
- Hiring a roofline installer who does not also do roofing — corners of the roof always need integration with the roof itself.
- Skipping ventilation 'because it was not there before' — current Building Regulations Part F requires it, and most pre-1990 lofts need it badly.
- Letting an installer use the existing rotten timber as a substrate — guarantees a repeat job within 8 years.
Our Process
A simple, predictable system — start to finish.
-
01
Step 1 — Measure-up survey
Free, no-obligation visit. We measure every run, photograph existing fixings, check rafter-end condition with a moisture meter, and confirm colour and profile choices.
-
02
Step 2 — Written fixed-price quote
Itemised: fascia, soffit, bargeboard, gutter (if combined), scaffold, waste removal, ventilation strips, VAT. Fixed price, no extras.
-
03
Step 3 — Strip & inspect
Existing timber, gutter and any decorative trims stripped down. Rafter feet inspected and probe-tested — anything reading over 18% moisture cut out and spliced with treated softwood.
-
04
Step 4 — Install new uPVC roofline
22mm fascia mechanically fixed to sound timber with stainless steel polytop nails or screws, vented soffit board installed to comply with Part F, bargeboards fitted with matching trim corners.
-
05
Step 5 — Clean, test & guarantee
Site brushed clean, all waste removed (no skip needed on most jobs), gutter run hose-tested if combined. 10-year written guarantee covering materials and labour handed over with photos.
The Benefits
What you actually get when we are done.
Done in one day
Most semi-detached and terraced properties: full strip and replace in a single 8-hour visit.
Maintenance-free for 30+ years
No painting, no rotting, no sanding, no annual ladder work. Modern co-extruded uPVC keeps its colour for the life of the product.
Compliant ventilation built in
Continuous eaves ventilation equivalent to a 10mm slot — meets Building Regulations Part F, prevents loft condensation, extends roof timber life.
Wide colour & profile choice
White, black, anthracite grey, rosewood, light oak, dark oak. Square, ogee, plain or decorative bullnose profiles.
Pest-proof closure
Tight uPVC seals exclude birds, bats, wasps and rodents — common pests in old timber soffits.
Single-trade roofline + gutter package
We combine fascia, soffit, bargeboard and gutter renewal in one site visit — cheaper, faster, and a single source of accountability.
Specialist Detail
Materials, methods and the nuances that matter.
Roofline is a complete system — fascia, soffit, bargeboard, ventilation strip and rainwater goods all interlock. Replace just the visible bit and the hidden problems persist.
Materials we use
11mm full-replacement uPVC fascia
Co-extruded UV-stable colour through the section, never just printed on. Built to resist fading, warping and cracking.
Vented or hollow soffit board
10mm thick uPVC, V-grooved or plain. Vented variant has built-in continuous airflow slot for Part F compliance.
Bargeboards (gable end trim)
Matched to fascia profile and colour. 22mm thick, with matching dry verge or mortar bedding to seal the gable edge of the roof.
Capping (over-cladding) uPVC
Thinner 7–8mm uPVC wrapped over sound existing timber. Only used where existing timber tests bone-dry and structurally sound. We probe-test every metre.
uPVC trims, corners & end-caps
Internal corners, external corners, fascia joint trims, end-caps — all colour-matched to the chosen fascia. Mechanical fixings, no silicone reliance.
Methods we follow
Full strip & replace
The default. Old timber stripped, rafter ends inspected, any rot cut out and spliced, new uPVC mechanically fixed to sound substrate. 30+ year lifespan.
Capping (over-cladding)
Only acceptable where probe-testing confirms timber is sound throughout. Faster and cheaper but only delays a future full strip if the underlying timber subsequently fails.
Vented eaves install
10mm continuous airflow slot under the front edge of the soffit, with insect mesh. Prevents loft condensation and meets current Part F regulations.
Over-fascia ventilation
Combined eaves system using a slotted plastic strip over the fascia under the first tile course — for properties where soffit ventilation alone is insufficient.
