Service overview
What UPVC Fascias, Soffits & Guttering Involves
Fascias are the boards along the edge of the roof that the gutters are fixed to; soffits are the boards underneath that close off the roof overhang. Guttering and downpipes carry rainwater away from the roof and walls. We install and repair UPVC fascias, soffits and guttering.
It's for homeowners with rotting or flaking timber fascias, sagging or leaking gutters, overflowing downpipes, or damp patches on external walls. It's also a natural job to combine with a new roof or exterior painting, one of our reviewers had their house front painted and new gutters installed at the same time.
Professional installation matters because this is where your roof's water ends up. Gutters need the correct fall to drain, fascias must be securely fixed to carry the gutters, and the roof edge needs to be properly detailed so water drips into the gutter, not behind it.
The cost of waiting
What Happens If It's Left
Failing roofline and guttering sends rainwater exactly where you don't want it: down your walls, into your foundations and back into the roof timbers.
Damp walls
Overflowing gutters soak brickwork and render, leading to damp patches inside.
Rotten roof timbers
Water behind failed fascias rots rafter ends and the roof edge.
Foundation issues
Water dumped at the base of walls can affect the ground around foundations.
Pests
Gaps in rotten soffits can let birds and pests into the roof space.
Common mistakes homeowners make
- Painting over rotten timber fascias instead of replacing them.
- Ignoring a dripping joint or overflowing section of gutter.
- Fitting new gutters onto rotten boards.
- Not clearing moss and debris, which quickly blocks gutters and downpipes.

In detail
A Closer Look at UPVC Fascias, Soffits & Guttering
UPVC versus timber
Traditional timber fascias and soffits need regular painting and eventually rot, particularly at joints and ends. UPVC boards resist rot and don't need repainting, making them a low-maintenance replacement. They're available in a range of colours and finishes to suit the property.
Guttering and downpipes
Gutters come in different profiles and sizes. What matters most is that they're sized for the roof area, fitted to the correct fall towards the outlets, and that joints are sound. Downpipes must be securely fixed and discharge properly into the drainage.
Repairs or full replacement?
A single leaking joint or a sagging bracket can often be repaired. Where boards are rotten along their length, or the guttering is old and brittle throughout, full replacement is usually better value. We'll give you honest advice either way.
Roof edge and ventilation
When replacing fascias, the edge of the roof, the bottom course of tiles, the underlay and any eaves protection, can be checked and put right at the same time. This helps make sure water drips cleanly into the gutter rather than behind it.
Signs your roofline needs attention
Common signs include peeling or flaking paint on timber fascias, soft or rotten wood, gutters that sag or pull away from the wall, water spilling over the gutter edge during rain, dripping joints, green staining on brickwork below the gutter, and downpipes that are cracked or have come loose. Birds nesting behind loose soffit boards is another sign that the roofline needs attention.
Watching your gutters during a heavy downpour is one of the easiest ways to spot problems. Water should run to the outlets and down the pipes, not spill over the front or drip from joints.
Keeping gutters clear
Even the best guttering blocks if it fills with leaves, moss and debris. Properties near trees need their gutters cleared more often, especially in autumn. Combining gutter clearance with a roof clean deals with the moss at its source.
Why the fall of a gutter matters
Gutters need a gentle, consistent slope towards the outlets. If the fall is wrong, or brackets have failed and the gutter sags, water pools in low spots, adds weight, and overflows. Correct bracket spacing and fall are a simple part of installation that make a big difference to how well the system works.
Colours and finishes
UPVC roofline and guttering is available in several colours, including white, black, brown and grey, as well as woodgrain-effect finishes. Matching the roofline to your windows and doors gives a coordinated look. Black guttering is a popular choice on many period and modern homes alike, while white remains common on rendered properties.
Roofline work with a new roof
If you're having a new roof, it's often the ideal time to replace the fascias, soffits and guttering as well. The scaffolding is already up, the roof edge is exposed, and the new roofline can be detailed properly to work with the new roof. Doing both together avoids paying for access twice.
