Guttering, fascia and soffit installation and repair

Guttering, Fascias and Soffits

Guttering, fascias and soffits covers replacing or repairing roofline components — gutters, fascia boards and soffits — along with clearing blocked gutters that can cause damp and overflow if left.

Guttering, Fascias and Soffits

Definition

What guttering, fascias & soffits involves

Fascias are the boards fixed to the ends of roof rafters, soffits are the panels beneath them closing off the eaves, and guttering collects and directs rainwater from the roof. These are usually replaced together since they're accessed from the same scaffolding or access equipment, and are commonly upgraded from timber to low-maintenance uPVC.

Suitable for

  • Cracked, rotten or sagging guttering, fascias or soffits
  • Blocked or overflowing gutters causing damp
  • Upgrading from timber to low-maintenance uPVC

Not suitable for

  • Structural roof timber repair beyond the fascia line — see our roofing service for that

Process

How the work is carried out

  1. 01

    Survey

    Assessing the condition of existing guttering, fascias and soffits, and access requirements.

  2. 02

    Access

    Arranging ladders, towers or scaffolding depending on height and scope.

  3. 03

    Removal

    Stripping out damaged or worn components.

  4. 04

    Installation

    Fitting new fascias, soffits and guttering, with correct falls for drainage.

  5. 05

    Testing

    Checking gutters run freely and downpipes are correctly connected.

Typical timescale

A standard semi-detached house is typically completed within one to two days; larger or more complex rooflines take longer.

Cost guidance

Cost depends on roofline length, material choice and access requirements. An itemised quotation follows a site visit.

Limitations and exclusions

  • Access equipment (towers or scaffolding) is priced as part of the project where the roofline height requires it
  • Underlying roof timber decay found once fascias are removed is priced separately as it's identified

FAQs

Guttering, Fascias & Soffits FAQs

How often do gutters need clearing?

Once or twice a year is typical for most properties, more often if overhung by trees. Regularly blocked gutters can cause water to track back into the roofline and cause damp, so it's worth keeping on top of.
