Fascias and soffits are a critical part of most guttering systems. Not only do they offer support for the guttering itself, they improve the aesthetics of your home by creating a clean and tidy finish to the roofline. Fascias or fascia boards are horizontal boards that sit on the edge of the rafters of your roofing, closing the end of the roof and providing the support that the guttering is attached to. Soffits run underneath the fascia boards, closing the gap and protecting the underside of the rafter ends. Soffits are commonly ventilated to permit the roof timbers to breathe and also to stop any moisture accumulation. 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 commonly produced from either wood or UPVC. Timber fascias and soffits are standard on older properties and continue to be popular. However, timber fascias and soffits can rot as time passes and expose the rest of the guttering to issues or leaks. More recently, UPVC fascias and soffits have been increasingly popular as they give you a long lasting alternative that won't rot. UPVC fascias and soffits are available in a number of colours to accommodate any building, although white is very fashionable as it provides a traditional appearance. Fascias are additionally available in ogee moulded designs, where feature grooves are incorporated. These can have a stunning effect.
How much replacing your soffits and fascias costs depends on several things, including the size of your property, the materials you use and where you live. However, the cost of a soffits and fascias project tends to range between £1,300 and £2,000 for most people.

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 sit along the sides of your property, over the join between your walls and your roof. The fascia attaches to the end of your roof rafters, hiding and protecting them. The soffit fixes on the bottom of the fascia, bridging the gap between your fascia and wall. Your guttering attaches to the fascia, which also joins to the bargeboard on your gable end, if you have one.
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.
Fascias and Soffits, just like any other components of a home, do not last forever. They can become tired and worn out over time which implies that you’ll have to replace them to prevent further damage. Getting this project completed can be quite costly, but it doesn’t have to be. Fitting soffits and fascias is very simple task which will leave you with both a modern and contemporary styling which requires little maintenance and also more savings. What’s more? You don’t have to worry about repainting the fascias and soffits on an annual basis, all you need to do is a gentle wipe down of the features with a damp cloth to have them look good.
If you’re a competent DIYer and confident enough to pull off this task, then all the better. However, if otherwise, we’d strongly recommend you hire the services of a reliable contractor who can guarantee the best results for help. Here are the steps you can follow to fit your fascias and soffits.
Fascias ( a 18mm fascia board)
✓ This is designed for a direct fix without a need for a timber substrate. Simply secure them directly to the rafters with the help of 2 x 65mm a4 stainless steel fixing nails per rafter.
✓ Ensure that the rafters are level.
✓ Cut the boards back 5mm per edge to enable expansion where any white corner trims, joint trims or angle trims is needed.
✓ Secure the guttering to all third rafter.
Soffit ( 9mm soffit board)
✓ Ensure that the preservative treatment to the structural timber has dried out.
✓ Fix all utility boards of about 100mm to 605mm in width at a maximum of 60mm centres.
✓ If ventilation is needed, there are some soffits that are available in 150mm to 605mm widths and also provides the 10mm air gap needed for roof with a pitch above 15 degrees
We can help you get more soffits and fascias work with our qualified job leads and boost your business.
