Fascia and Soffit Replacement in Alton

Fascia and soffit replacement in Alton, swapping rotten timber boards for uPVC that never needs painting. The fascia carries your guttering, so once it softens the gutters start to pull away from the roof.

What Fascias and Soffits Do

The fascia is the board along the edge of the roof that the gutter screws to. The soffit is the panel underneath it, closing off the gap. Together they seal the eaves and keep birds, wasps and driven rain out of the roof space.

Signs the Boards Have Gone

Flaking paint, dark staining, soft timber you can push a screwdriver into, and gutters that have started to sag are the usual signs. If you can see gaps at the eaves from the ground, birds have probably already found them.

Capping Over or Full Replacement

Some firms cap over old timber with a plastic sheet. It looks fine for a while, but any rot underneath carries on. We take the old boards off, check the rafter feet and fit new, which costs more at the start and lasts far longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does fascia and soffit replacement take?

A typical semi detached house takes two to three days, including new guttering. Larger detached homes take longer, and access can add a day. We give you a start date and clear the old boards away as part of the job.

Do I need scaffolding for fascias and soffits?

On a standard two storey house we usually work from a tower or ladders. Where the eaves are high, the ground is uneven or there is a conservatory in the way, scaffolding is safer. We include it in the quotation if it is needed.

Will new fascias stop birds getting in the roof?

Yes, in most cases. New boards close off the gaps at the eaves that birds and wasps use. We fit ventilation strips at the same time so the roof space still breathes, which matters just as much as sealing it up.
