Fascia and Soffit Replacement and Repair
What fascias and soffits are
Fascias are the boards along the edge of your roof that the gutters fix to. Soffits sit underneath, closing off the gap between the wall and the roof edge. Together they protect the rafter ends and keep weather and pests out.
Who it's for
Homeowners with rotting, flaking or sagging timber roofline boards, anyone with gutters pulling away, and property owners wanting a cleaner, lower-maintenance roofline.
When it's needed
When boards are soft, split or rotten, paint keeps peeling, gutters won't stay level, or birds and wasps are getting into the roof space.
Why a roofer should do it
The fascia supports the bottom edge of the roof covering and the gutters. Getting it right means understanding how the roof drains, which is where Stephen's 10 years of roofing experience counts.
What Rotten Roofline Boards Lead To
Fascias and soffits look like a cosmetic issue. They aren't.
Rafter ends rot
Once the fascia fails, water reaches the ends of the rafters, which is a structural problem.
Gutters fall away
Gutters fixed to soft boards sag, overflow and eventually come loose.
Pests get in
Gaps in soffits are an open door for birds, wasps and rodents.
Damp walls
Overflowing gutters soak the brickwork below, causing damp inside.
Common mistakes to avoid
Painting over rot
Paint hides soft timber but doesn't stop it rotting.
Fixing gutters, not boards
Refixing gutters to a rotten fascia won't hold.
Ignoring the roof edge
The bottom row of tiles and the felt at the eaves need to be right too.

Fascia and Soffit Work Explained
Here's what goes into replacing or repairing a roofline on homes and commercial buildings.
Repairs to sections
Where damage is limited to one area, individual lengths can sometimes be replaced. Stephen will tell you honestly if that's a sensible option.
Eaves and roof edge
The bottom course of tiles and the membrane at the eaves rely on the fascia. While the roofline is open, these details are checked and made good.
Ventilation
Soffits can play a part in roof ventilation, helping prevent condensation in the loft. This is considered when new soffits are fitted.
With a new roof
Replacing fascias and soffits alongside a new roof saves paying for access twice and gives you a complete, matching finish.
Residential and commercial
Long commercial rooflines and domestic homes both benefit from the same careful approach at the edge of the roof.

Choosing a Roofer for Fascias & Soffits in Berkshire
When you are looking for someone to handle fascias & soffits on your property, the biggest risk is not the materials. It is not knowing who will actually turn up, whether they will do what they said, and who you can call if something is not right afterwards. Legacy Roofing removes that uncertainty by keeping everything with one person. Stephen Farrow inspects your roof, explains what he has found, gives you the price, does the work and stands behind it.
One roofer, start to finish
Many roofing firms send a salesperson to quote and a different crew to do the job. Details get lost between the two, and you end up repeating yourself. Because Legacy Roofing is a solo business, the conversation you have at the inspection is the same one the roofer on your roof remembers. If you have a question halfway through, you ask the person doing the work.
Straight answers before you spend anything
Every job starts with a free, no-obligation roof inspection. Stephen will tell you plainly what is wrong, what it needs, and what it does not need. If a smaller repair will solve the problem, that is what he will recommend. You will know what is included in the price before any work begins, so there are no awkward surprises at the end.
Experience you can check
Stephen has 10 years of hands-on roofing experience on domestic and commercial properties. Legacy Roofing holds £1 million public liability insurance, every new roof carries a 10-year guarantee, and repair guarantees are explained clearly for the specific work carried out. If water is coming in, a 24-hour emergency call-out service means you are not left waiting until Monday.
What to expect on the day
Stephen arrives when he says he will. Before starting, he walks you through the plan again so you know which parts of the roof he will be working on and roughly how long each stage should take. Access is set up safely, and anything that could be affected around the property, such as paths, plants or parked cars, is considered before work begins. While the job is under way, you can ask questions at any point, and if something unexpected turns up once the roof is opened, he will show you and talk it through before going any further. Nothing extra is added without your agreement.
When the work is finished, Stephen checks it over, clears away old materials and debris, and explains what has been done and which guarantee applies. You are left with a roof that has been looked after properly, a clear record of the work, and the direct number of the roofer who did it, should you ever need him again.

Anything else? Call Stephen on 07707 460710.
How much do new fascias and soffits cost?
+

How long does a fascia replacement take?
+
It depends on the size of the property. Stephen will give you a realistic timeline with your quote.

Yes, Stephen also repairs and replaces guttering, so both can be done together.
Is there a guarantee?
+
