    Fascias and Soffits Preston: uPVC and Timber, Fitted Properly

    Fascias and soffits do more than finish the edge of your roof. The fascia carries the gutters and protects the ends of the roof timbers, and the soffit underneath helps ventilate the roof space. North W Roofing fits fascias and soffits Preston homeowners can rely on, in uPVC or timber, with ventilated soffits and the guttering fitted at the same time.

    Our fascias and soffits services

    • uPVC fascias and soffits: low maintenance, with no painting.
    • Timber fascias and soffits: traditional, and often right for period homes.
    • Ventilated soffits to help air move through the roof space.
    • New guttering fitted with the new fascias. See our new guttering page.
    • Full removal and replacement of old, rotten boards.

    Signs your fascias and soffits need replacing

    • Rotten, soft or split timber boards.
    • Peeling paint that keeps coming back.
    • Gutters sagging because the fascia behind them has failed.
    • Gaps or holes in the soffits, letting birds or pests in.
    • Condensation or damp in the loft.

    Why ventilation matters

    Roof spaces need air moving through them to keep condensation down. Ventilated soffits let air into the roof space at the eaves. Without it, moisture from the house can condense in the loft and lead to damp and rot. Every soffit we fit is ventilated.

    Fascias, soffits and gutters together

    Because the gutters are fixed to the fascias, it usually makes sense to replace them together. It saves a second visit, and the new gutters are fitted to sound boards. See our roofline and exterior repairs page for everything we do along the roof edge. Historic England's advice on maintaining and repairing rainwater systems explains why keeping gutters working protects a building.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you fit uPVC over my old fascias?

    The boards behind should be checked first. Covering rotten boards hides the problem rather than fixing it.

    Should I replace the gutters at the same time?

    Often, yes. The gutters are fixed to the fascias, so replacing both together usually makes sense.

    Do you fit timber fascias on older homes?

    Yes. We fit timber fascias and soffits as well as uPVC.

    Why are ventilated soffits important?

    They let air into the roof space, which helps keep condensation down in the loft.
