uPVC fascias and soffits in Oxford

How a roofline replacement runs

1. Survey. We check the fascia boards, soffits, bargeboards and gutters on every side you want included.
2. Written quote. You get the lengths, the boards and the guttering listed, so you know exactly which sides are covered.
3. Remove old boards. Old gutters and boards come off. The rafter ends behind are checked and repaired where they have rotted.
4. Fit new uPVC. New fascias and soffits are fixed in place, with ventilation kept open where the roof needs it.
5. New gutters and downpipes. Gutters are fitted to a fall towards the outlets and connected to the downpipes.
6. Finish. The bottom row of tiles is checked, all waste is removed and the work is guaranteed in writing.

Signs your fascias and soffits need replacing

• Flaking paint and soft timber along the eaves
• Gutters sagging or pulling away from the boards
• Damp patches on the wall below the gutter
• Birds or wasps nesting in gaps at the eaves
• Soffit boards cracked, warped or missing
• Black streaks running down the wall under the roofline

Roofline options

• White uPVC fascias and soffits: The standard choice: low maintenance with no painting.
• Black or coloured gutters: Our gallery shows a new black gutter and downpipe against a white fascia.
• Vented soffits: Soffits with ventilation to keep air moving through the roof space.
• Roofline with a re-roof: Fitted while the scaffold is up for a new roof, as on our bungalow re-roof.

How long it takes

Roofline replacement on a semi-detached house or bungalow is a one to three day job, depending on how many sides are included and whether rafter ends need repair.

What affects the price

• Length of roofline and number of sides
• Height and access, including conservatories
• Rafter end repairs behind old boards
• Gutter style and number of downpipes
• Combining the work with a re-roof

Ask for the roofline as a separate line on your written quote so you can compare it on its own.

Aftercare

Wash the uPVC once a year with warm soapy water and clear the gutters each autumn. Check downpipe joints after the first heavy rain.
