This is the 2nd time we have used this company and yet again the quality of work was excellent. The only thing that stopped me giving 5 stars is that there is no written 10 year guarantee just a verbal promise. Also our eventual bill was higher than the original quote but we appreciated that the job proved to be bigger than James originally thought. Very high standard of workmanship though and we would recommend.

They did a great job of dry verging our gable end. It looks clean and modern now instead of the mess it did look like. The price was very good. All mess tidied up and took away. Would definitely use them again.

Due to our carport roof in bad need of repair, James and his team did an excellent job. So whilst they were on site and with the house roof required attention that was also reroofed. Both have been done to a speedy and excellent standard, with all debris taken away. We could not be more pleased and thankful.

Had James come in to quote a leaking flat roof and to sort out a couple of minor issues with the guttering at my mum’s rental property . He gave a quote which was reasonable and carried out the work professionally and in a timely manner with decent communication throughout the progress of the work. Easy to deal, trustworthy and would recommend working with.

What Fascias and Soffits Do for Your Home

Fascias and soffits are key parts of your roofline. The fascia is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof. It holds the bottom row of tiles in place and supports the guttering. The soffit is tucked underneath and helps ventilate your attic space, preventing damp and condensation.

In Leicester, where rainfall and cold winters are common, maintaining these elements is essential. If your fascias or soffits are cracked, rotten, or poorly ventilated, moisture can enter the roof structure and cause long-term damage. Replacing them with uPVC or coated timber improves protection, airflow, and appearance.

When to Replace Fascias and Soffits

It’s time to replace fascias and soffits when you notice peeling paint, damp patches on ceilings near the eaves, sagging gutters, or visible rot on the boards. Birds nesting under the eaves or water running behind the gutters are also warning signs.

Modern systems made from uPVC or aluminium require less maintenance and last far longer than traditional wood. Many homeowners choose full replacement when updating their guttering or preparing their roof for winter. Professional installation ensures proper airflow and gutter support—two things that directly affect the lifespan of your roof.

Why Fascias and Soffits Matter More Than You Think

When people think of roof problems, they usually imagine missing tiles or leaks. But in Leicester, issues often begin at the roofline—specifically the fascias and soffits. These boards quietly do important jobs that protect your home all year round.

Fascias support your gutters and help keep rainwater away from your walls and foundation. They also help hold the lower edge of your roof in place. If fascias are damaged, sagging gutters can cause water to overflow and rot your rafters or fascia boards.

Soffits, which run underneath the overhang of your roof, are just as important. They allow air to circulate through your loft or attic, helping prevent condensation. In Leicester’s damp winters, poor ventilation often leads to mold growth and damage to insulation.

If your fascias and soffits are wooden and over 15 years old, they may already show signs of wear—like peeling paint, warping, or pest nests. Choosing to upgrade to a modern, maintenance-free option like uPVC reduces these risks and enhances your home’s appearance.

While they might seem small, fascias and soffits play a big role in keeping your roofline secure and your home protected. Replacing them is one of the most cost-effective ways to prevent bigger problems later on.

What to Expect During Fascia and Soffit Replacement

If you’re thinking about replacing your fascias and soffits, it helps to know what the process involves. Here’s a simple breakdown of what to expect from start to finish:

Step 1: Inspection and Quote

We begin by inspecting your existing roofline to check for damage, dampness, or loose guttering. We’ll explain whether a full replacement or partial repair is needed and offer a clear quote with no pressure.

Step 2: Removal of Old Boards

Next, we remove the old timber fascias, soffits, and any underperforming gutter brackets. If we find rotten timber behind the boards, we repair it to ensure a solid base.

Step 3: Installation of New Boards

We install the new uPVC or aluminium fascias and soffits. These are fitted to provide ventilation and water protection, while also aligning perfectly with your guttering.

Step 4: Guttering Realignment

The gutter system is reattached and properly aligned. This ensures water flows away from your house efficiently, even in heavy rain.

Step 5: Clean-Up and Aftercare Advice

We tidy up all materials and provide you with care advice. Most modern fascias and soffits need only an occasional clean to stay looking good. The whole process usually takes 1–2 days for a standard home. Done properly, it extends your roof’s life and gives your home a clean, finished look.
