Fascias and Soffits - Repairs & Upgrades

About Fascias & Soffits

Fascias are traditionally a softwood board which is mounted to the exposed edges of your rafters, however in recent years this has been replaced with high grade uPVC as softwood has a tendency to rot and requires much more maintenance.

The purpose of a fascia is to protect and seal the roof and the interior of your home from exposure to the elements, to support roof tiles at an eaves level and to provide support for the guttering.

A soffit is a covering which sits between the outer edges of your roof and the adjacent wall of the house, protecting and sealing the rafter feet. If your roof has a soffit (not all do), you will be able to see it if you stand underneath the overhang of your roof and look up. Soffits are the essential support to the roofline which links the fascias and bargeboards to the wall, soffits can be vented to allow airflow and ventilation in the loft space.


Modern fascias and soffits are usually made of uPVC. UPVC soffits and fascias are hardwearing and cope well with exposure to moisture. Wooden soffits are a popular rustic or period feature, but they are more likely to rot and decay quickly, threatening the integrity of the rest of the roof structure.

Common opinion now suggests that installing uPVC Fascias and Soffits is much more manageable in the long run as it eliminates the problems and maintenance associated with wooden fascias and soffits. New builds usually have the products installed and older properties can be updated. Their aesthetic appearance gives the roof a nice finished look.
