Pvc barge, soffit, and fascia on a semi detached house
Fascias and soffits are a vital aspect of the majority of guttering systems. Not only do they offer support for the guttering itself, they improve the looks of your home by producing a clean and neat 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 creating the support that the guttering is fastened to. Soffits run beneath the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are commonly ventilated to make it possible for the roofing timbers to breathe and to stop any moisture buildup. Box ends are used where the horizontal fascia meets the diagonal barge board that runs up the edge of the roof profile, presenting a neat finish to an otherwise ugly join.
Fascias and soffits are usually created from either wood or UPVC. Wood fascias and soffits are widespread on older properties and remain popular. However, wooden fascias and soffits can rot as time passes and expose the rest of the guttering to problems or leaks. Recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they provide a long lasting substitute that will not rot. UPVC fascias and soffits are available in a number of colours to suit any building, although white is popular as it has a traditional appearance. Fascias are also available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are integrated. These can have an impressive effect.

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.
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.
Having ventilation in the roof void is a requirement for building regulations approval. Fitting ventilated soffits is the typical way that this roof ventilation is achieved. If you do not have roof ventilation, you may find that your roof void has problems with condensation or overheating.
You should replace your soffits and fascias if you are having problems. Soffits and fascias can degrade and rot away over time, and this can cause leaks, faulty guttering, or even allow pests entry to the roof space. If any of these problems occur, you should speak to an experienced roofline company to discuss replacing your soffits and fascias.
