Fascias are the boards fixed along the lower edge of your roof. They support the guttering and act as a barrier between the roof and the outside elements.
Soffits sit underneath the fascias. They close the gap between the roof edge and the wall, helping protect the underside of the roof while allowing air to flow into the roof space.
Together, they keep the roofline sealed and ventilated.
Soffits and fascias do more than improve how your property looks.
They protect the roof structure from water and help prevent damp from building up inside. Without proper ventilation, moisture can collect in the roof space and lead to mould or timber damage.
They also help keep pests and debris out of the roofline.
If either part fails, it can affect the rest of the system.
Problems with soffits and fascias often develop over time.
You might notice peeling paint, cracks, or sections starting to sag. Guttering pulling away from the roof is another common sign, often caused by weak or damaged fascias.
In some cases, you may not notice anything from the outside. Issues can show up as damp or poor ventilation inside the property.
If you’re unsure, it’s worth having them checked early.
Some properties only need minor repairs. Others benefit from a full replacement, especially if the existing roofline is older or made from timber.
We’ll assess the condition and explain the best approach.
Our work includes:
We’re based in Deal and carry out soffit and fascia work across Kent, including Dover, Sandwich and nearby areas.
We’ve worked on a wide range of properties, and a lot of our work comes from recommendations.
We keep things simple. We assess the issue, explain the options, and get the job done properly.
They protect the roofline, support guttering, and allow ventilation into the roof space.
Signs include rot, cracks, sagging, and guttering pulling away.
They last longer and require less maintenance.
Yes, if the damage is local. Larger issues usually need replacement.
