Soffits & Fascias in Montacute


Fascias and soffits are an important part of many guttering systems. Not only do they provide support for the guttering itself, they enhance the design of your home by creating a clean and neat 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 providing the support that the guttering is mounted to. Soffits run under the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are often ventilated to enable the roofing timbers to breathe and to stop 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 generally manufactured from either wood or UPVC. Wood fascias and soffits are standard on older properties and remain popular. However, wooden fascias and soffits can rot as time passes and expose the rest of the guttering to problems or leaks. Recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they provide a resilient alternative that will not rot. UPVC fascias and soffits can be purchased in a number of colours to match any house, although white is extremely popular as it offers a traditional appearance. Fascias are additionally available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are incorporated. These can have an impressive effect.

Montacute

Montacute is a tiny village and civil parish in Somerset, England, 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Yeovil. The town has a population of 831 (2011 census). The name Montacute is assumed by some to derive from the Latin "Mons Acutus", describing the conically severe St Michael's Hill dominating the town to the west. An alternative sight is that it is called after Drogo de Montagu, whose household originated from Montaigu-les-Bois, in the arrondissement of Coutances. Mortain held Montacute after 1066, Drogo was a close partner. The village is constructed practically entirely of the local hamstone. From the 15th century till the start of the 20th century it developed the heart of the estate of the Phelips family of Montacute House. The village has a great middle ages church, and also was the website of a Cluniac priory, the gatehouse of which is now a personal home. At the centre of the village is a big square known as the 'Borough' around which are grouped attractive homes as well as a club, the Phelips Arms; there is a second public house and resort positioned in the town, called the King's Arms.

    what is a soffit?

    Soffit is a word gotten from two languages - French and Latin, whereby the root word implies to “form as a ceiling in French, while it means to “to fix underneath in Latin. Basically, soffit is a portion of the ceiling that has been constructed lower than the area that surrounds it. And even though they aren’t that much popular in recent times, they happen to be a common feature in kitchens of older homes in the UK. At times, a soffit can occupy the whole room or area in a home.

    Homeowners across the globe make use of this feature mostly as a decorative element in the room , however, there are also times in which they may be required for various purposes. These purposes include using soffits to conceal plumbing pipes or, heating or cooling ducts, which is often the case when sofits are constructed at the lower levels of homes. They’re also often incorporated in bathrooms or kitchens as soffits house light fixtures. For instance, recessed light fixtures fitted over kitchen or bathroom sinks are mostly fitted into a soffit.

Your guttering attaches to the fascia, which also joins to the bargeboard on your gable end, if you have one.
