Our roofline work covers fascia replacement, soffit replacement, bargeboard replacement, and guttering as part of the same job. We remove existing timber boards, inspect the rafter feet and structural timber behind, replace any rot-damaged timber where needed, and fit new UPVC boards and profiles. Where existing timber fascia is still structurally sound, capping with UPVC over the top is also an option — quicker and slightly cheaper than a full removal, though not always appropriate.
Guttering is typically removed and refitted as part of any fascia job — we include this as standard rather than charging separately for it. Ventilated soffits are fitted where required by building regulations or where the existing soffit has inadequate ventilation for the roof space. For more on loft ventilation and why soffit vents matter, see our loft ventilation page.
Timber fascias and soffits need repainting every three to five years to stay protected against the weather. When that maintenance lapses — as it often does — the timber absorbs moisture, softens, and rots. Rot on the fascia board can spread to the rafter feet behind it, which is a more significant structural repair than replacing the board itself. UPVC eliminates this entirely. It doesn't need painting, doesn't rot, and holds its appearance for 20 to 30 years under normal conditions.
UPVC is also lighter than timber, easier to keep clean, and available in white, black, grey, and woodgrain finishes to suit different property types. It's the standard choice for fascia and soffit replacement across the area for good reason — it genuinely performs better over its lifetime. If you have a listed building or period property where timber is required, we'll work with whatever is specified.
The cost of fascia and soffit replacement depends primarily on the size of the property — the number of elevations that need work, the linear metres of boarding, and whether scaffolding is required for upper-floor access. For a standard semi-detached, full replacement of fascias, soffits, and bargeboards with new guttering typically costs in the range of £1,000 to £1,500. Detached properties with more elevations and greater linear metres will sit higher.
If only the front elevation needs attention, or you're capping over sound timber rather than doing a full removal, costs will be lower. We'll give you a clear breakdown in the estimate so you know exactly what's included.

A well-fitted UPVC roofline system should last 20 to 30 years without any maintenance beyond occasional washing. The main failure point is the joints and corners, where poor fitting or movement over time can cause gaps. Beyond that, UPVC is genuinely low-maintenance — no painting, no treating, and no rot concerns.
Signs that your fascias and soffits need replacing include visible rot or softness in the timber, paint that's peeling and not holding despite repainting, fascia boards pulling away from the wall, and wildlife getting into the soffit — birds and squirrels regularly take advantage of gaps in deteriorating roofline boards. If you can push a screwdriver into the face of the board without much resistance, it needs replacing.
We start by removing the existing guttering and setting it aside. Old fascia and soffit boards are taken off carefully to avoid disturbing the roof tiles above. The rafter feet and any exposed structural timber are inspected for rot and treated or replaced as needed before new boards go on. This is the stage that matters most — fixing hidden rot properly rather than boxing it in behind new UPVC.
New UPVC fascia boards are fitted and secured, followed by the soffit panels, with ventilation slots or vented profiles fitted where the roof space requires it. Corners and joints are sealed and covered with matching trims. Guttering is refitted with correct falls, brackets secured to the new fascia, and all joints sealed. The finished roofline is inspected with you before we leave. All work is fully guaranteed.
