Fascia board repairs
The board supporting guttering needs to be sound. Soft or rotten timber should be addressed rather than simply hidden beneath new covering.

Roofline work, explained.
Every property and every job is different. These are the areas to discuss when requesting a quotation.
Soffit replacement
Soffits finish and help protect the underside of the eaves. Ventilation arrangements also matter when considering replacements.
Gutter repairs & replacement
Leaks at joints, loose brackets and incorrect falls can cause damp issues. It is often worth checking the whole run before replacing sections.
Downpipes & drainage
Keeping rainwater moving away from roof edges and walls helps avoid overflow, staining and repeated saturation of masonry.
LOCAL CONSIDERATIONS
Working with Cirencester properties.
From stone cottages and older tiled roofs to modern extensions, Cirencester has a mix of roof types that deserve an individual approach.
Traditional materials, roof valleys and lead flashing often need particular care on older Cotswold properties. For listed buildings or work in conservation areas, the right materials and any necessary permissions should be checked before work begins.
Replacing rainwater goods makes sense when the existing system is beyond repair, but not every leak means a full replacement.

ON THE GROUND / CIRENCESTER
Care at the eaves of Cotswold properties
On traditional eaves, the finish of fascia boards and soffits can noticeably change the appearance of a property. Timber detailing may be more suitable than uPVC in some historic settings, subject to the property and relevant restrictions.
Where rainwater runs behind a gutter, the board supporting it may be the cause. Renewing the gutter alone does not deal with damaged timber beneath.
Discuss your guttering with us
Knowing the postcode, roof type and what you have noticed makes the first conversation much more useful.

Roofline FAQs
What is the difference between a fascia and a soffit?
The fascia is the board along the front of the roof edge, often carrying the gutter. The soffit finishes the underside of the eaves.
Can a leaking gutter be repaired?
Often yes. Leaking joints, loose brackets and incorrect falls can sometimes be corrected without replacing the entire system. Severely damaged sections may need replacement.
Will you check the wood behind old uPVC?
The condition of the supporting timber should be assessed rather than simply concealed. The appropriate repair depends on what is found.
Can you look at the roof and guttering at the same time?
Yes, explain both concerns in your enquiry. Roofing and roofline problems can be connected, especially around the eaves and valleys.
