Fascias and soffits are a critical component of the majority of guttering systems. Not only do they provide support for the guttering itself, they improve the design 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 roof, closing the end of the roof and creating the support that the guttering is fixed to. Soffits run under 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 to prevent any moisture accumulation. Box ends are utilised where the horizontal fascia meets the diagonal barge board that runs up the edge of the roof profile, presenting a neat finish to an otherwise ugly join.
Fascias and soffits are typically manufactured from either timber or UPVC. Timber fascias and soffits are usually on older properties and remain popular. However, timber fascias and soffits can rot over time and expose the rest of the guttering to issues or leaks. More recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they provide a robust alternative that won't rot. UPVC fascias and soffits are available in a number of colours to suit any home, although white is popular as it provides a traditional appearance. Fascias are also available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are included. 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.

Lydbrook is a civil church in the Forest of Dean, a local government district in the English county of Gloucestershire. It is on the north west edge of the Forest of Dean's existing legal limit correct. It consists of the districts of Lower Lydbrook, Upper Lydbrook, Joys Green and Worrall Hill. It has a mile and a fifty percent lengthy main street, understood to be the longest primary road of any village in England. Lydbrook falls in 'Lydbrook and Ruardean' electoral ward. This ward begins in the south east at Lydbrook as well as extends to the north east at Ruardean. The overall parish population taken at the 2011 census was 4,819. The present area of Lydbrook seems to have had its beginnings in the 13th century. In a document of a sale of trees in 1256, reference is constructed from 'the Mill of Lydbrook'. Additionally early notes on Lydbrook happen in a study of the Forest of Dean in 1282. The Lyd (a creek, which streams right into the River Wye) formed, for part of its travels, the border in between the Bailiwicks of Bikenore (English Bicknor) and Rywardin (Ruardean). Today many maps call the Lyd, Hough Brook, or Great Hough Brook, as well as How Brook which signs up with the Lyd is recognized on modern-day maps as Little Hough Brook. Provided in the 1282 entries of those who had cultivated land, William of Ludebrok (Lydbrook), shows up under the church of Bikenore, as well as under the church of Rywardin. Rather than being 2 separate parcels in differing areas, it was probably that William's land will have included the brook, for this reason his addition in the documents for both churches. Furthermore, under the entry for Bikenore is recorded, Robert of Stoufeld (Stowfield). Therefore the development of Lydbrook started at Lower Lydbrook. The village takes its name from the creek running its whole length - the 'loud brook' or lud creek to become Lyd Brook. The village developed as a site for the regional iron and also coal markets with your homes as an advancement right into the Forest tracing the Lyd brook which offered the water needed for sector and also domestic use. The advancement of the encroachment, continued right into the Bailiwick of Magna Dean (Mitcheldean), the area which became called Upper Lydbrook and Joys Green. The village just became a place of population of any type of size 17th century onwards, however expanded gradually since to stay fixed for almost a century as well as a fifty percent at a population of about 2,500 between the 1850s and also the start of the 1990s. Nonetheless, initially of the 1990s the neighborhood has actually started to slowly depopulate. One contact us to fame of the recent past, which now is fortunately no longer true, is that Humphrey Phelps, in his book on the Forest of Dean recalls that in the 1950s Lydbrook had the greatest incidence of consumption in England.

Fascias and Soffits, just like any other components of a home, do not last forever. They can become tired and worn out over time which implies that you’ll have to replace them to prevent further damage. Getting this project completed can be quite costly, but it doesn’t have to be. Fitting soffits and fascias is very simple task which will leave you with both a modern and contemporary styling which requires little maintenance and also more savings. What’s more? You don’t have to worry about repainting the fascias and soffits on an annual basis, all you need to do is a gentle wipe down of the features with a damp cloth to have them look good.
If you’re a competent DIYer and confident enough to pull off this task, then all the better. However, if otherwise, we’d strongly recommend you hire the services of a reliable contractor who can guarantee the best results for help. Here are the steps you can follow to fit your fascias and soffits.
Fascias ( a 18mm fascia board)
✓ This is designed for a direct fix without a need for a timber substrate. Simply secure them directly to the rafters with the help of 2 x 65mm a4 stainless steel fixing nails per rafter.
✓ Ensure that the rafters are level.
✓ Cut the boards back 5mm per edge to enable expansion where any white corner trims, joint trims or angle trims is needed.
✓ Secure the guttering to all third rafter.
Soffit ( 9mm soffit board)
✓ Ensure that the preservative treatment to the structural timber has dried out.
✓ Fix all utility boards of about 100mm to 605mm in width at a maximum of 60mm centres.
✓ If ventilation is needed, there are some soffits that are available in 150mm to 605mm widths and also provides the 10mm air gap needed for roof with a pitch above 15 degrees
Soffits and fascias are available in lots of different colours. These include black, grey, brown, white and cream. It’s also possible to get them in brighter colours like reds, blues and greens.
What colour soffits and fascias you get is entirely up to you, unless you live in a listed building, in which case some rules may apply. Most people choose a colour that matches their roof, walls or window frames to give their property an attractive, colour-coordinated look.
You should replace your soffits and fascias if you are having problems. Soffits and fascias can degrade and rot away over time, and this can cause leaks, faulty guttering, or even allow pests entry to the roof space. If any of these problems occur, you should speak to an experienced roofline company to discuss replacing your soffits and fascias.
You can paint your soffits and fascias if they’re made of wood. In fact, it’s a good idea to do this every few years, as it can help to preserve them and keep them looking smart.
You can choose what you paint your soffits and fascias with by deciding what kind of look you want to achieve. You can stain them if you want to maintain a natural wood look, or use an exterior gloss or satin paint if you want to change their colour.
We can help you get more soffits and fascias work with our qualified job leads and boost your business.
