Fascia and soffit replacement in Burgess Hill. We replace rotten or tired timber boards along your roof edge with low-maintenance uPVC, and fit new gutters at the same time, with free quotes.
Fascias are the boards fixed along the ends of the rafters at the roof edge, holding the gutters and the bottom row of tiles. Soffits close off the underside of the overhang. Together they keep weather, birds and pests out of the roof space.
Flaking paint, soft or crumbling timber, gaps where birds or wasps get in, sagging gutters and dark stains along the roof edge all suggest the boards have rotted. Rotten fascias can also let water into the ends of the rafters, which is a much bigger repair.
uPVC fascias and soffits don't rot and never need painting, just an occasional wipe down. They come in white, black, grey and woodgrain finishes. Vented soffits or eaves vents can also help airflow into the roof space, which reduces condensation in the loft.
We inspect the fascias, soffits and the ends of the rafters, and measure the roof line. You choose the colour and finish, and we give you a free quote that includes the gutters and downpipes, since they come down with the boards. Scaffolding or a tower is usually needed.
We remove the gutters, old boards and soffits, then check the rafter ends and repair any rot. New soffits and fascias are fitted with ventilation where it's needed, and the felt at the eaves is supported so water runs into the gutter. New gutters and downpipes go back on to finish.
Tell us about the leak, the damage or the job you have in mind. We aim to respond the same day.
We look at the roof, explain what we find and give you a free, no-obligation quote before any work starts.
We carry out the repair or installation, then test and check the finished work before we leave.
It depends on the length of the roof line, the height of the house, the finish you choose and whether any rafter ends need repairing. Gutters are usually replaced at the same time. We measure up and give you a free quote that covers everything before you decide.
Capping over old boards is sometimes offered, but we don't recommend it if the timber is rotten, as the rot keeps spreading underneath. Removing the old boards lets us check and repair the rafter ends, so the new fascias are fixed to sound timber.
Usually, yes. Replacing fascias and soffits means working along the whole roof line, so scaffolding or a mobile tower is normally needed for safe access. On bungalows, lighter access may be enough. We'll include the right access in your quote.
On a typical house, replacing the fascias, soffits and gutters takes a few days, depending on the length of the roof line and whether any rafter ends need repairing. We'll give you a timescale when we quote and keep the work tidy as we go.
