Supporting the guttering
Fascias provide the fixing point for guttering — if a fascia is rotten, the guttering it holds is only ever as secure as the timber behind it.
Sealing the roof edge
Soffits close off the underside of the roof overhang, keeping birds, pests and weather out of the roof space while still allowing ventilation where needed.
Protecting the wall below
Sound fascias and soffits keep water away from the top of external walls, preventing the kind of damp problems that start at roof level and work downward.
What happens when they fail
Rotten fascias let water track down behind guttering and into the wall structure, turning what should be a straightforward roofline repair into a bigger problem.
Our team can assess whether your fascias and soffits need attention.
