Fascias and soffits are a critical element of many guttering systems. Not only do they provide support for the guttering itself, they enhance the looks of your house by creating a clean and tidy finish to the roofline. Fascias or fascia boards are horizontal boards that sit on the edge of the rafters of your roofing, closing the end of the roof and creating the support that the guttering is attached to. Soffits run beneath the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are generally ventilated to help the roofing timbers to breathe and also to prevent any moisture buildup. Box ends are utilised where the horizontal fascia meets the diagonal barge board that runs up the edge of the roof profile, providing a neat finish to an otherwise ugly join.
Fascias and soffits are commonly manufactured from either timber or UPVC. Wood fascias and soffits are typical on older properties and remain popular. However, wooden fascias and soffits can rot over time and expose the rest of the guttering to problems or leaks. Recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they offer a long lasting option that won't rot. UPVC fascias and soffits are available in a number of colours to accommodate any home, although white is very fashionable as it offers a traditional appearance. Fascias are also available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are integrated. These can have an impressive effect.
How much replacing your soffits and fascias costs depends on several things, including the size of your property, the materials you use and where you live. However, the cost of a soffits and fascias project tends to range between £1,300 and £2,000 for most people.

Soffits and fascias sit along the sides of your property, over the join between your walls and your roof. The fascia attaches to the end of your roof rafters, hiding and protecting them. The soffit fixes on the bottom of the fascia, bridging the gap between your fascia and wall. Your guttering attaches to the fascia, which also joins to the bargeboard on your gable end, if you have one.
