Fascias & Soffits across Greater London

Fascias are the upright boards fixed to the ends of the rafters, holding the gutters and supporting the bottom row of tiles. Soffits sit beneath them and close off the overhang. Both take the full force of the weather, and painted timber versions eventually let water in, swell and rot. Ashlar Roofing removes failing boards and fits solid uPVC replacements that keep their colour, need no repainting and give the gutters a firm fixing again. We carry out this work on houses, flats and commercial buildings across Greater London.

Some installers offer to cap over old fascias with a thin uPVC skin. It looks tidy on the day, but if the timber underneath is wet or decayed, the rot keeps spreading behind the cover where nobody can see it, and the gutter fixings slowly lose their grip. We would rather show you the condition of the boards and recommend full replacement where it is needed. New soffits can be vented so the loft can breathe, and an eaves protection tray or new felt at the eaves stops rainwater soaking the fascia from behind.
