Guttering soffits andFascias
Fascias and soffits are an important component of most guttering systems. Not only do they provide support for the guttering itself, they improve the looks of your building 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 roof, closing the end of the roof and creating the support that the guttering is mounted to. Soffits run beneath the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are typically ventilated to enable the roofing timbers to breathe and also to avoid 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, presenting a neat finish to an otherwise ugly join.
Fascias and soffits are normally created from either wood or UPVC. Wood fascias and soffits are usually 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. More recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they offer a resilient option that won't rot. UPVC fascias and soffits can be purchased in a number of colours to suit any home, although white is extremely popular as it offers a traditional aesthetic. Fascias are additionally available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are integrated. These can have an attractive effect.

Plockton is a town in the Highlands of Scotland in Lochalsh, Wester Ross with a population of 378. Plockton is a settlement on the coasts of Loch Carron. It faces eastern, far from the prevailing winds, which along with the North Atlantic Drift provides it a mild environment enabling the Cordyline australis palm to prosper. Located on a protected inlet of Loch Carron, and also as a result of the series of hand (New Zealand cabbage palm) trees which have actually dominated Harbour Street since the 1960s, Plockton has an unique 'sub-tropical appearance' (Nicholson: 1975). The Church of Scotland in the town (also used by the Free Church of Scotland) was developed by Thomas Telford. The town is a vacationer resort. The tv collection Hamish Macbeth, starring Robert Carlyle, was recorded there, alternativing to the imaginary Lochdubh. Plockton was also made use of for different scenes in the movie The Wicker Man as well as the Assessor Alleyn Mysteries tv series enhancing its reputation.

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.
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.
The soffit and fascia is the outdoor underside region of your roof which would need to be repaired or replaced when it’s in a critical condition. Your soffit and fascia may actually require more frequent replacement or repair depending on the material that the soffit or fascia uses. If you notice your soffit and fascia needs to be replaced, then you’d probably also like to know how much it going to cost. Well, you’ve come to the right place! The price to replace a soffit and fascia can vary significantly which can be a bit annoying when you’re trying to calculate the overall cost you’ll be expected to pay.
The price of a soffit and fascia is based on the following variables:
✓ The materials you wish to use for the new fascia, soffit and guttering
✓ The type of the property. For instance, semi detached houses may come at a lower price due to the less roof space they require when compared to their counterparts, which can reduce the cost of replacement.
✓ If you’re going to also replace the gutter at the same time will also increase the cost of replacement.
✓ The current overall condition of the roof. For example, if you also have broken or slipping roof tiles, the soffits and fascias can be more difficult to replace, hence, increasing the cost of the project.
Generally, the average cost of fitting soffits and fascias as replacement options for your homes will range between £1200 - £3,000. What’s more? Soffits and fascias normally have a per metre cost. The average price of soffits and fascias per metre can range between £100 to £130 when you opt for a white uPVC option.
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.
