A roofline that carries the water away.
Updated
We replace rotten fascias and soffits, repair and renew gutters and downpipes, and test every new gutter with water before we leave. A drone survey shows the whole roofline before we quote.

We run water through the gutters to prove they flow.
Fascias and soffits: what they do.
The fascia is the board along the bottom edge of the roof that the gutter is fixed to. The soffit is the board underneath it, closing the gap between the wall and the roof. Together they protect the ends of the rafters, hold the gutters in line and keep birds and weather out of the roof space.
When timber boards rot, gutters start to sag and leak, and water runs down the wall instead of into the drain. Over time that causes damp patches inside, stained brickwork and wet window frames. Replacing fascias and soffits with uPVC, or with new timber on a period home, puts the edge of the roof back on a sound footing.
Gutters: repair or replace.
Many gutter problems are simple: a blocked outlet, a leaking joint or a bracket that has slipped. Those are repairs. If the gutter is old cast iron that has cracked, the runs sag along their length, or the gutter is too small for the roof above it, new guttering is the better answer. We size new gutters and downpipes for the area of roof they serve, so they cope with heavy downpours.
We check where the water goes after the downpipe, too. A gutter that works is no use if the downpipe empties onto a path or into a blocked gully, so if the drain looks like the problem we can check it with a CCTV camera.
Every gutter job is tested with water.
When we fit or repair gutters, we run a hose through them before we leave. It proves the water flows to the downpipes and away, and it often catches a small problem before it becomes a damp one.
If your home has roof ventilation in the soffit, we keep it or improve it. A loft needs air moving through it to stay dry, and blocking soffit vents is a common cause of condensation in the roof space.
What affects the cost of fascias, soffits and gutters.
We price after the survey. These are the main factors.
- Length of roofline
- How many metres of boards and gutter there are.
- Height and access
- Bungalow, two storeys or three, and whether scaffold is needed.
- Replace or overclad
- Whether old boards come off or can be covered.
- Materials
- uPVC colour, timber, gutter profile and downpipes.

Call us07888 868356Should old fascias be removed or covered over?
Where the timber is sound, covering it with uPVC boards can work. Where it is rotten, the old boards should come off so the rafter ends can be checked and new boards fixed to something solid. Covering rot only hides it. The drone survey and a close look on the day show which applies to your home.
Why do my gutters overflow in heavy rain?
Usually the gutter is blocked by leaves or moss, the outlet is blocked, or the gutter has sagged so water collects in one spot. Sometimes the gutter is simply too small for the roof above it. Cleaning solves the first, and new brackets, outlets or larger guttering solve the rest. We show you which it is.
Do you check the gutters when you work on the roof?
Yes. While we are on the roof we look at the gutters and downpipes too. If we spot a leaking joint, a blocked outlet or a sagging run, we photograph it and add any repair to your written quote, so you can decide before anything is done. That way the water leaving your roof goes where it should.
Can you match the look of a period house?
Yes. On Victorian and Edwardian homes, timber fascias, cast-iron-style gutters and ogee profiles often look right where plain uPVC would not. In a conservation area you may need to keep the original look. We show you the options with photos of similar homes and set out the choice in your quote.
