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.

Where guttering sags or overflows, the cause may be the falls, joints, fixings or the fascia behind it. We start with the likely fault.
On mature roof coverings, a leak may come from slipped tiles, ageing underlay or flashing rather than the place where water appears indoors. Good diagnosis comes before recommending replacement.

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 Swindon properties.
From established terraces and semi-detached houses to newer estates, Swindon roofs range from plain tiles to modern interlocking systems.
On mature roof coverings, a leak may come from slipped tiles, ageing underlay or flashing rather than the place where water appears indoors. Good diagnosis comes before recommending replacement.
Replacing rainwater goods makes sense when the existing system is beyond repair, but not every leak means a full replacement.
Before requesting a quote
A few useful things to include:
- Your postcode in Swindon or nearby
- What you've noticed and when it started
- Whether it is a pitched, flat or roofline issue
- Any access difficulties or known defects
ON THE GROUND / SWINDON
A closer look at long gutter runs
On semi-detached and detached homes, long lengths of guttering can develop a low spot if brackets shift over time. Water then sits in the run or overflows at a joint even when the plastic looks sound.
Cleaning out debris may restore flow, but recurrent overflow is a reason to check the fall to the downpipe and the timber or uPVC fascia carrying the brackets.
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.
