Soffits sit underneath, closing off the gap between the wall and the roof edge. Together they protect the rafter ends and keep weather and pests out. ### Who it's for Homeowners with rotting, flaking or sagging timber roofline boards, anyone with gutters pulling away, and property owners wanting a cleaner, lower-maintenance roofline. ### When it's needed When boards are soft, split or rotten, paint keeps peeling, gutters won't stay level, or birds and wasps are getting into the roof space. ### Why a roofer should do it The fascia supports the bottom edge of the roof covering and the gutters. Getting it right means understanding how the roof drains, which is where Stephen's 10 years of roofing experience counts. ## What Rotten Roofline Boards Lead To Fascias and soffits look like a cosmetic issue. They aren't. ### Rafter ends rot Once the fascia fails, water reaches the ends of the rafters, which is a structural problem. ### Gutters fall away Gutters fixed to soft boards sag, overflow and eventually come loose. ### Pests get in Gaps in soffits are an open door for birds, wasps and rodents. ### Damp walls Overflowing gutters soak the brickwork below, causing damp inside. ### Common mistakes to avoid Painting over rot Paint hides soft timber but doesn't stop it rotting. Fixing gutters, not boards Refixing gutters to a rotten fascia won't hold. Ignoring the roof edge The bottom row of tiles and the felt at the eaves need to be right too. ## How Stephen Handles Your Fascias & Soffits Job - Step 1 ### Free inspection Stephen checks the fascias, soffits, gutters and the eaves of the roof. - Step 2 ### Diagnosis and quote He explains what's failing and gives you a clear price. - Step 3 ### Remove old boards Old boards come off and the rafter ends are checked for damage. - Step 4 ### Fit new roofline New fascias and soffits are fitted, with the eaves detail made good. - Step 5 ### Refit gutters and check Gutters are refitted to the correct fall and the work is checked. ## What You Get ### Protected rafters A sound fascia keeps water off the ends of your roof timbers. ### Gutters that stay put Solid boards give gutters a firm fixing. ### Fewer pests Closed soffits keep birds and insects out of the roof space. ### Less maintenance No more scraping and repainting rotten timber every few years. ### A neater roofline A clean, straight roofline lifts the look of the whole house. ### Fitted by Stephen The eaves of the roof are dealt with properly at the same time. ## Fascia and Soffit Work Explained Here's what goes into replacing or repairing a roofline on homes and commercial buildings. ### Full replacement Old boards are removed and replaced along the full roofline, giving a consistent finish and a solid fixing for gutters. ### Repairs to sections Where damage is limited to one area, individual lengths can sometimes be replaced. Stephen will tell you honestly if that's a sensible option. ### Eaves and roof edge The bottom course of tiles and the membrane at the eaves rely on the fascia. While the roofline is open, these details are checked and made good. ### Ventilation Soffits can play a part in roof ventilation, helping prevent condensation in the loft. This is considered when new soffits are fitted. ### With a new roof Replacing fascias and soffits alongside a new roof saves paying for access twice and gives you a complete, matching finish. ### Residential and commercial Long commercial rooflines and domestic homes both benefit from the same careful approach at the edge of the roof. ## Fascias & Soffits Near You - Fascias & Soffits in Wokingham - Fascias & Soffits in Ascot - Fascias & Soffits in Basingstoke - Fascias & Soffits in High Wycombe - Fascias & Soffits in Oxford - Fascias & Soffits in Newbury - Fascias & Soffits in Bracknell - Fascias & Soffits in Slough - Fascias & Soffits in Gerrards Cross ## Related Services - Guttering → - New Roofs → - Dry Verge Systems → - Back to homepage ## Choosing a Roofer for Fascias & Soffits in Berkshire When you are looking for someone to handle fascias & soffits on your property, the biggest risk is not the materials. It is not knowing who will actually turn up, whether they will do what they said, and who you can call if something is not right afterwards. Legacy Roofing removes that uncertainty by keeping everything with one person. Stephen Farrow inspects your roof, explains what he has found, gives you the price, does the work and stands behind it. ### One roofer, start to finish Many roofing firms send a salesperson to quote and a different crew to do the job. Details get lost between the two, and you end up repeating yourself. Because Legacy Roofing is a solo business, the conversation you have at the inspection is the same one the roofer on your roof remembers. If you have a question halfway through, you ask the person doing the work. ### Straight answers before you spend anything Every job starts with a free, no-obligation roof inspection. Stephen will tell you plainly what is wrong, what it needs, and what it does not need. If a smaller repair will solve the problem, that is what he will recommend. You will know what is included in the price before any work begins, so there are no awkward surprises at the end. ### Experience you can check Stephen has 10 years of hands-on roofing experience on domestic and commercial properties. Legacy Roofing holds £1 million public liability insurance, every new roof carries a 10-year guarantee, and repair guarantees are explained clearly for the specific work carried out. If water is coming in, a 24-hour emergency call-out service means you are not left waiting until Monday. ### What to expect on the day Stephen arrives when he says he will. Before starting, he walks you through the plan again so you know which parts of the roof he will be working on and roughly how long each stage should take. Access is set up safely, and anything that could be affected around the property, such as paths, plants or parked cars, is considered before work begins. While the job is under way, you can ask questions at any point, and if something unexpected turns up once the roof is opened, he will show you and talk it through before going any further. Nothing extra is added without your agreement. When the work is finished, Stephen checks it over, clears away old materials and debris, and explains what has been done and which guarantee applies. You are left with a roof that has been looked after properly, a clear record of the work, and the direct number of the roofer who did it, should you ever need him again. ### Covering your area Legacy Roofing carries out fascias & soffits work across Wokingham, Bracknell, Ascot, Slough and Newbury in Berkshire, High Wycombe and Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire, Oxford, and Basingstoke in Hampshire, along with the villages in between.

Call Stephen on 07707 460710. ### How much do new fascias and soffits cost? +It depends on the length of roofline, access and condition of the timbers behind. Stephen gives a clear price after a free inspection. ### How long does a fascia replacement take? +It depends on the size of the property. Stephen will give you a realistic timeline with your quote. ### Do you replace gutters at the same time? +Yes, Stephen also repairs and replaces guttering, so both can be done together. ### Is there a guarantee? +Guarantees depend on the work. Stephen will explain what's covered before starting. ### Can you just repair one section? +Sometimes. If the rest of the roofline is sound, a section repair may make sense. ### Why are birds getting into my roof? +Usually through gaps in damaged soffits or at the eaves. New soffits close them off. ### Should I do this with a new roof? +If you're replacing the roof, it's the most cost-effective time, as access is already in place. ### Which areas do you cover? +Wokingham, Bracknell, Ascot, Newbury, Slough, Basingstoke, High Wycombe, Oxford and Gerrards Cross. ## Protect Your Roof Edge With a Solid Roofline Book a free inspection and find out what your fascias and soffits need.
