Fascia and soffit replacement in Bordon for boards that have gone soft, split or started peeling. These boards carry the guttering and close off the roof edge, so once timber rots the whole eaves line needs sorting.
The fascia is the upright board along the roof edge that the gutter screws into. The soffit is the panel underneath, closing the gap between the wall and the roof. Together they keep weather and birds out of the roof space and hold the guttering in place.
More Information
Painted timber boards need repainting every few years. Miss it, or let a leaking gutter run behind them, and water gets into the wood. Once the timber is soft the gutter brackets lose their grip and the roof edge is left open. Flaking paint and dark staining are the early signs.
uPVC boards do not rot and need nothing more than a wash. We fit vented soffits so air can still get into the roof space, which matters more than people expect. Blocking off the eaves when replacing boards is a common cause of condensation in the loft.
Fascia and soffit work usually comes up alongside guttering, so it has been part of HK Roof Care for 15 years. Around Bordon we replace a lot of old painted timber with uPVC, and we always fit vented soffits so the roof space keeps breathing once the new boards are on.

A typical house takes one to three days depending on size, access and whether the guttering is being replaced at the same time. Scaffolding adds a day either side. We strip the old boards, check the rafter feet underneath and fit the new boards as we go.
The guttering has to come off to fit new boards, so if it is in good condition it can go back on. Older brittle guttering rarely survives being taken down and refitted. Most people take the opportunity to replace both at once while the access is there.
No. That is the main reason people change from timber. uPVC boards keep their colour and need nothing beyond an occasional wash down. Timber boards need repainting every few years, and missing that is what leads to the rot in the first place.
