Your fascias and soffits do more than just hold up your gutters. They are engineered to provide vital airflow into your attic space while sealing the gap between your roof and your walls.
The Dangers of Neglected Fascias:
Rafter Foot Rot: Water leaking behind a damaged fascia board will eventually rot the tips of your structural roof rafters.
Attic Condensation: Without ventilated soffits, moisture builds up in your loft, leading to mould and damp insulation.
Pest Entry: Gaps in rotten wood are the primary entry points for squirrels, mice, and wasps into your London home.
Structural Gutter Failure: If the fascia board is soft, it cannot support the weight of heavy, water-filled gutters during a storm.

"Capping" is a temporary cosmetic fix that traps moisture against the old wood. This creates a "greenhouse effect" that accelerates timber rot, eventually causing your gutters to fall off because the underlying wood has turned to mush. At Skyline, we recommend a full replacement to ensure your rafter feet remain dry and structural.
Not always. Many London councils now allow high-quality "woodgrain" uPVC or "Fibre Cement" boards if they match the original profile. We have extensive experience working with local planning officers in areas like Hampstead and Richmond to ensure your new roofline is both compliant and durable.
A solid soffit is a flat board with no holes. A vented soffit has integrated slots or "strip vents." In almost all London homes, a vented soffit is required to prevent condensation. If your roof already has "tile vents" or "ridge vents," we can use a solid soffit, but we’ll advise you on the best airflow strategy during our survey.
Older uPVC used to yellow due to UV exposure, but modern "lead-free" uPVC is engineered with UV stabilisers. Our boards are guaranteed to remain color-fast for up to 20 years, meaning your Anthracite Grey or White finish will look as fresh in a decade as it does on day one.
For a typical London semi-detached or terraced home, the job usually takes 1 to 2 days. We use specialized "Easi-dec" platforms or tower scaffolding to work quickly and safely, minimizing the time we are on-site and the disruption to your neighbors.
Unlike many "quick-fix" contractors, we follow a strict multi-step process:
Inspection of the Rafter Feet: We check the structural timber ends for rot before fixing new boards.
Eaves Protector Trays: We install "felt support trays" to replace the perished edges of old roof felt, ensuring water flows directly into the gutter.
Hidden Fixings: We use stainless steel "poly-top" pins that won't rust or leave unsightly streaks on your new white boards.
Integrated Drainage: We realign your gutters during the install to ensure the levels are perfect.
