Top tips

Hiring a fascia & soffits, without the regret.

Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.

Over-capping

This is the practice of nailing uPVC boards directly over old, rotten timber. It looks good for a few months, but the rot continues underneath, eventually causing the fixings to fail and the boards to fall off.

Perished Roofing Felt

The bottom edge of the roofing felt (the bit that hangs into the gutter) often rots away over 20-30 years. If this isn't replaced with a plastic "drip edge," water will run down the back of the fascia board.

Incorrect Gutter Fall

If the fascia isn't installed perfectly level, or if the gutter brackets aren't adjusted, water will pool in the middle of the gutter run, leading to overflows and sag.

Lack of Ventilation

Modern uPVC systems often include "hidden" vents. If these are blocked or omitted, you may notice damp patches on your bedroom ceilings due to condensation in the loft.
