Soffits sit underneath the edge of your roof, just below the fascias.
They’re easy to overlook, but they play an important role. They help ventilate your roof space and protect the underside of your roofline from moisture and weather.
When soffits start to fail, it can lead to damp, poor airflow, and damage to the roof structure. Keeping them in good condition helps prevent bigger problems later on.
Soffits are the boards fitted beneath the roof overhang, connecting the roof edge to the property wall.
They close the gap beneath the roofline and often include ventilation to allow air to flow into the roof space.
This airflow helps prevent condensation from building up in the loft or roof structure.
Soffits do two main jobs. They protect and they ventilate.
Without proper soffits, moisture can build up inside the roof space. Over time, this can lead to damp, mould, and damage to timber.
They also help keep out pests and debris, which can otherwise find their way into the roof.
