Fascias, Soffits & Bargeboards in Lincs, Cambs & Norfolk

Peeling paint and soft timber along the roofline aren't just untidy — they hold your gutters up and protect the ends of your rafters. We replace rotten fascias, soffits and bargeboards with low-maintenance uPVC that won't need painting again.

The problem

Rot along the roofline

Timber fascias and bargeboards spend their lives in the wind and rain. Once the paint fails, water soaks in, the wood softens, and gutter brackets start pulling loose. Soffits rot through, letting birds and wasps into the roof space.

Painting over rot only hides it for a season. Once timber has gone soft, the honest answer is to replace it.

Signs to look out for

  1. 01Flaking paint and bare, grey timber
  2. 02Soft or crumbling wood when pressed
  3. 03Gutters sagging or pulling away
  4. 04Gaps or holes in the soffit
  5. 05Birds or wasps getting into the roof space
  6. 06Damp staining just below the roofline

How we fix it

A clean, low-maintenance roofline

We remove the old boards, check the rafter ends and fix any damage, then fit new uPVC fascias, soffits and bargeboards. Where needed, we add ventilation to help prevent condensation in the loft.

Gutters are refitted or replaced on the new fascias, and where your roof has a verge, we can fit a dry verge system at the same time so mortar isn't cracking out along the edge.

Finished properly, a new roofline should only need an occasional wipe-down.

What we fit

uPVC fascia boards
Replacement boards that carry the gutters and seal the roof edge.
Vented soffits
Close the underside of the eaves while allowing airflow into the loft.
Bargeboards
Neat, durable boards along the gable ends of the roof.
Dry verge
A mechanically fixed edge for the tiles that doesn't depend on mortar.

Good to know

More than looks

Fascias do a real job. They hold up the gutters, close off the ends of the rafters and support the bottom row of tiles. When they rot, gutters sag, water gets behind the boards and the rafter ends themselves can start to decay.

Soffits close off the underside of the eaves. When they fail, birds, bats and wasps can get into the roof space. Modern vented soffits keep pests out while still letting the loft breathe, which helps prevent condensation and mould.

Bargeboards protect the gable edges of the roof. Old timber ones are often the most exposed boards on the house, and a dry verge system fitted at the same time keeps the edge tiles secure without relying on mortar that cracks out.

Replacing your roofline is a great time to replace tired guttering too, as it's all reachable from the same scaffold. We'll talk through colours so everything matches your windows and doors.

Because we're roofers rather than just roofline fitters, we'll also spot anything at the edge of the roof that needs attention while we're there.

We remove all the old timber and take it away with us, leaving the site clean at the end of each day. You'll get photos of the rafter ends once the old boards are off, so you can see their condition, and photos of the finished roofline. It's a job that transforms the look of a house from the street, and one you shouldn't need to think about again for many years.

FAQs

Fascias & soffits: your questions

Can you cap over my old fascias?

We prefer to replace rotten boards rather than cover them, as capping over rot traps the problem underneath.

What colours are available?

White is most common, but black, brown, grey and anthracite are also available to match your windows.

Do you replace guttering at the same time?

Often, yes. It makes sense to fit new gutters on new fascias, though we can refit sound existing gutters.

Will birds still get into my roof?

New soffits close off the gaps birds and wasps use, while vents keep air moving.

Do I need scaffolding?

For most houses, yes, for safe access along the full roofline. We organise it for you.

How long does it take?

Most homes take a day or two, depending on size and weather.

Can you replace just one rotten board?

Yes, if the rest are sound. But if several boards are past their best, replacing the whole run usually gives a neater, longer-lasting result.

Do new soffits need ventilation?

Usually, yes. Vented soffits let air flow into the loft, which helps prevent condensation and keeps the roof timbers dry.
