Fascias, Soffits & Guttering

Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Fakenham

Fascias, soffits, and guttering are the first line of defence between your roof edge and the weather. If they're cracked, sagging, or pulling away from the house, rainwater bypasses your drainage system entirely and soaks into the timber behind — causing rot that spreads quickly on older Norfolk properties, particularly the semi-detached and detached houses common around Fakenham town and out towards Thursford and Little Snoring.

The work typically involves removing the existing boards and guttering, checking the condition of the rafter feet underneath, and fitting new uPVC or aluminium fascias, soffits, and a matched guttering system. We use ogee, half-round, or square-line profiles depending on what suits the property. Where rafter feet are rotten, we cut them back and sister new timber before boarding over — we don't just cover the problem up.

Leaving failed roofline components in place is one of the most common causes of wall damp we see on Fakenham houses. Water trapped behind a loose fascia works its way into the eaves, ceiling joists, and eventually your bedroom walls. A professional replacement costs far less than replastering a damp bedroom or replacing a rotted wall plate.

We survey the roofline from ladders or scaffold before quoting so we know exactly what we're dealing with. Most standard semi-detached properties can be done in one day; larger detached houses usually take two. We remove all old material from site and leave gutters flowing freely before we leave. Our work is backed by a ten-year guarantee on uPVC systems.

Fascia and soffit replacement on a standard three-bedroom semi in Fakenham typically costs between £900 and £1,600 including guttering, depending on the run length and access requirements. Call us to arrange a free roofline survey.
