Fascias and soffits are an important element of many guttering systems. Not only do they provide support for the guttering itself, they improve the style of your house 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 roofing, closing the end of the roof and offering the support that the guttering is mounted to. Soffits run underneath the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are generally ventilated to make it possible for the roof timbers to breathe and also to stop 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 commonly produced from either wood or UPVC. Timber fascias and soffits are standard on older properties and remain popular. However, timber fascias and soffits can rot over time and expose the rest of the guttering to problems or leaks. More recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they provide a resilient choice that will not rot. UPVC fascias and soffits can be purchased in an array of colours to complement any home, although white is very fashionable as it has a traditional aesthetic. Fascias are also available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are integrated. These can have a stunning 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.

West Linton is a town and also civil parish in southerly Scotland, on the A702. It was previously in the county of Peeblesshire, but because city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. A lot of its homeowners are commuters, owing to the village's proximity to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north eastern. West Linton has a lengthy background, and holds an annual traditional festival called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of old origin. Its name stems from a Celtic aspect (cognate with the modern-day Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and contemporary Welsh "Llyn") indicating a lake or pool, a pool in a river, or a network (as in Loch Linnhe, part of which is called An Linne Dhubh, the black pool, or Dublin, an Anglicisation of dubh and linn, suggesting black pool) and the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "racket"), for a citadel, fortified location, or armed forces camp (related to the contemporary English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a farm or collection of residences), and is obviously suitable, as the village shows up to have been surrounded by lakes, pools and marshes. At once it was known as Lyntoun Roderyck, determined probably with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose area included this location, or with a neighborhood chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the place name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic kind of Roderick. The prefix "West" was obtained many centuries later to clear up the difference from East Linton in East Lothian.

In general uPVC is used for soffits and fascias as it is very strong and durable. It also requires very little maintenance. However, wood can be used and is still popular on listed properties as it retains the original material. Older and listed buildings may require more traditional materials to be used.
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.
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.
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.
