Soffits & Fascias in Watlington


Fascias and soffits are a crucial element of most guttering systems. Not only do they offer support for the guttering itself, they improve the appearance of your building by creating a clean and tidy finish to the roofline. Fascias or fascia boards are horizontal planks 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 mounted to. Soffits run beneath the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are generally ventilated to allow the roofing timbers to breathe and to avoid 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, providing a neat finish to an otherwise ugly join.

 

Fascias and soffits are typically produced from either wood or UPVC. Wood fascias and soffits are widespread 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 give you a durable option that will not rot. UPVC fascias and soffits can be purchased in numerous colours to accommodate any property, although white is extremely popular as it has a traditional aesthetic. Fascias are additionally available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are incorporated. These can have a stunning effect.

Watlington

Watlington is a market town and civil parish about 7 miles (11 kilometres) south of Thame in Oxfordshire, near the area's eastern side and also less than 2 miles (3 kilometres) from its border with Buckinghamshire. The church includes the districts of Christmas Common, Greenfield and also Howe Hillside, all of which are in the Chiltern Hills. The 2011 Census recorded the parish's population as 2,727. The Watlington location is likely to have been settled at a very early date, urged by the proximity of the Icknield Way. The toponym means "negotiation of Waecel's individuals" and also suggests occupation from around the sixth century. A 9th-century charter by Æthelred of Mercia records 8 'manses' or significant houses in Watlington. The Domesday Book of 1086 identified the area as a farming area valued at £ 610. Medieval documents suggest that the contemporary street plan was in existence in the 14th century, as Cochynes-lane (Couching Street), and also Brook Street are recorded. There are documents of inns in Watlington given that the 15th century. In 1722 the town's market was listed as being held on a Saturday. By the end of the 18th century the town had six inns, every one of which were bought up in the following few years by a regional developing household, the Haywards. The variety of accredited premises enhanced until late in the 19th century when George Wilkinson, a Methodist got six of them and shut them down. Today Watlington has 3 public houses: the Carriers Arms, The Chequers as well as The Fat Fox Inn. Parliamentarian soldiers were billeted at Watlington during the English Civil Battle. It is assumed that John Hampden stayed in the town the evening before the Battle of Chalgrove Field. In 1664-- 65 the City center was built at the expense of Thomas Stonor. Its top space was enhanced by Stonor as a grade school for young boys, as well as in 1731 Dame Alice Tipping of Ewelme provided a further endowment to increase the variety of pupils. In 1842 the town Vestry established a National School, which shared the same spaces in the Town Hall. In 1843 a National College for girls was built alongside St Leonard's church. In 1872 the young boys' and girls' schools were soaked up right into a new Board college, which like its predecessors was associated to the National Society for Promoting Religious Education. In 1927 the college was separated right into separate junior and senior colleges. In 1956 a new high school-- the Icknield College-- opened for elderly students and the primary school took over the old facilities. The Icknield School is now Icknield Community College. By 1895 the City center, no more made use of as a school, was in disrepair. In 1907 it was brought back by public registration. It is a landmark at the meeting point of 3 roadways in the centre of the community. Considering that 1990 Watlington has been twinned with the town of Mansle in the Poitou-Charentes area of France. The Watlington Hoard, a collection of silver products dating back to the time of Alfred the Great in the 9th century, was found in Watlington by James Mather, an amateur metal-detectorist, in 2015. The hoard was ultimately dug deep into, and ultimately purchased by the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford for £ 1.35 m.

    FAQs

    how to fit fascias and soffits?

    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

    What colour should soffits and fascias be?

    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.

    Can you paint 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.

    how much to replace soffit and fascia?

    It may be shocking a whole lot of people would not be able to point out fascias and soffits on a building despite the fact that they’re an essential part of the roof. To give you an idea, they’re simply used to cover the roof beams’ ends that comes out of the wall from underneath of the roof. The board that runs vertically just below the roofline is the fascia board, which is also the long length of UPVC. Therefore if you look at the gutters located in the front of house, the board behind is called the fascia board. However, soffits runs horizontally from behind the gutters to the wall of a building, so if you walk close to a house and look up, you’ll identify the soffits. They’re done to cover the gaps between the wall house and the gutters. The main function of both soffit and fascia is to divert water away from your roof as well as walls.

    Fascias and soffits were usually made of wood before UPVC came along. And as a result, they only require little maintenance, no more warping, painting or cracks unlike the wooden ones. However they also can’t last an eternity, so when the time comes and you need to replace your soffit and fascia, you’ll probably want to know just how much it’s going to cost.

    Unfortunately, there’s no way to calculate an accurate cost for fascias and soffits as there are too many variables to put into consideration. These includes the type of fascia and soffit you choose as well as the size of your property. However the average cost to replace a three bed semi-detached house’s fascias and soffits is within the range of £1200 to £1500 or even more if you’re staying in London or in a larger detached building.
