The fascia and soffit system on a property improves the aesthetic value of a home or commercial space, but it also adds valuable protection that supports the roof and creates better air circulation within the home. Because of their positioning close to the gutters, they’re often the first part of the roof to become blocked and damaged, so it’s important to maintain them.

Repairing the fascia and soffits of your home will increase the value of the property and help to reduce maintenance costs and time in the future. It also helps to improve the flow of water into guttering and down-pipes and minimises condensation and damp in the roof. It will also help to reduce access for birds and vermin which can lead to damage and infestation if left unattended.

What is a Soffit?

Soffits are a feature of the underside of the roof or ceiling of a property and support the roofing structure, providing air circulation inside the home.

What is a fascia?

Fascia boards are mounted at the point where the roof meets the outer walls of the property, supporting the roof tiles and adding an extra accent and safety element to the structure.

When should you consider a repair?

From improper installation to faulty guttering, there are many reasons why soffit and fascias are vulnerable to damage and rotting. If left prone to damage, replacements can be costly, so regular maintenance is advisable to ensure they stay in perfect condition.

If you experience leaking gutters, frost in the attic, insect or animal infestation, or signs of water damage on the interior of the property, then you should look into having your soffit and fascia repaired. Leaving these elements of your roof can have a huge impact on the overall structure if overlooked.
