Fascia and Guttering

Your roofline system works harder than you might think. Those boards running along the edge of your roof and the gutters attached to them do far more than just finish off the look of your property. They protect your home's structure from water damage while channeling rainwater safely away from foundations and walls.

Fascia boards provide the mounting point for your guttering system. They also seal the gap between your roof edge and the outer wall, preventing wind-driven rain from getting into your roof space. Traditional timber fascias need regular maintenance and eventually rot from constant exposure to moisture. Modern uPVC fascias offer a maintenance-free alternative that comes in various colours to match your property, not just standard white.

Guttering channels rainwater from your roof through downpipes to drains, preventing it from cascading down walls or pooling around foundations. When gutters get blocked with leaves and debris, overflow water runs down exterior walls, causing unsightly staining and potentially leading to dampness inside your home. Cracked or sagging gutters create similar problems, along with the risk of sections pulling away from the fascia entirely.

Regular maintenance keeps small problems from becoming expensive repairs. Clearing gutters twice yearly prevents blockages, while occasional checks on fascia condition catch rot or damage before it spreads. When replacement becomes necessary, upgrading to uPVC systems eliminates future painting and reduces ongoing maintenance requirements.

Professional installation matters for these critical components. Properly fitted guttering includes correct falls to prevent standing water, secure brackets at appropriate intervals, and adequate downpipe capacity for your roof area. Fascias need proper ventilation to prevent condensation issues in your roof space.
