The service
What Fascias & Soffits Involves and Who It's For
What it is
Fascias are the boards running along the roof edge that the gutters fix to. Soffits sit underneath, closing off the gap between the fascia and the wall. We replace both in uPVC.
Who it's for
Homeowners with rotting, flaking or sagging timber boards, gutters pulling away, or birds and pests getting into the roof space. One customer had their fascia repaired and the lads cleaned out all the gutters while they were there.
When you need it
Peeling paint, soft or rotten timber, gaps where birds get in, or gutters that no longer sit level.
Why use a professional
Fascias support the bottom edge of the roof and the guttering. Fitting them properly, and dealing with any rot behind, protects the roof and walls.
Don't leave it
What Happens If You Ignore It
Rotten fascias can no longer hold gutters securely, so water spills down the walls. Gaps in soffits let birds and pests nest in the roof space, and rot can spread into rafter ends.
The risks of waiting
- Gutters sagging or coming away
- Water running down walls and causing damp
- Birds and pests in the roof space
- Rot spreading to rafter ends
Common mistakes we see
- Capping over rotten timber without checking it
- Replacing fascias but not the guttering
- Choosing on price without checking the fixings

In detail
Fascias & Soffits: Materials, Methods and Options
What to know about roofline replacement.
Full replacement vs capping
Capping covers old timber with uPVC. Full replacement removes the old boards so the timber behind can be checked. We'll advise honestly on which suits your property.
Soffits and ventilation
Soffits close off the eaves and can help the roof space breathe, reducing condensation.
Doing it all at once
Replacing fascias, soffits, guttering and downpipes together gives a complete, matching roofline.
Signs your roofline needs attention
Flaking paint, soft or split timber, gutters dipping between brackets, stained walls under the eaves and birds flying in and out of the roof edge are all signs your fascias or soffits have had their day. Left too long, rot can reach the ends of the rafters, which turns a straightforward job into a bigger repair.
Working at the roof edge
Fascias support the bottom row of tiles and the underlay where it runs into the gutter. Because we're roofers, we make sure that edge is finished properly when the new boards go on, so water runs into the gutter rather than behind it.

Why JD Roofing
Family-Trained Roofers
You Can Actually Reach
JD Roofing Specialists is run by John O'Connor, who has worked on roofs alongside his dad all his life. When you book fascias & soffits with us, you deal with John and his team from the first phone call to the final sweep-up.
The same things come up in our reviews again and again: fair, competitive prices (often the best of several quotes), a team that turns up when they say they will, fast replies, clear explanations with photo evidence, and a site left clean with the rubbish taken away. Many of our customers come back to us for their next job.
We offer free quotes on all work and a 24-hour emergency call-out, and we're rated 4.2 out of 5 on Google (38 reviews), 100% recommended on Facebook (39 reviews) and 5 out of 5 on MyBuilder (11 reviews).
Six questions to ask any roofer before you book
Whoever you choose, these questions will help you avoid the most common problems homeowners run into.
- 01
- Will you show me the problem?A good roofer should be able to show you what's wrong. We take photos of the problems we find as standard, so you can see the evidence for yourself before agreeing to anything.
- 02
- What exactly is included in the price?Two quotes can look very different because one leaves things out. Ask what's being replaced, what's being re-used, and whether rubbish removal is included. With us, the clean-up and rubbish removal are always part of the job.
- 03
- Is the work guaranteed, and for how long?We give 15-year guarantees on full re-roofs, rubber flat roofs and fibreglass flat roofs, and a 10-year guarantee on felt flat roofs. Always ask any roofer to confirm guarantees before work starts.
- 04
- Are you insured?Working at height carries risk. JD Roofing Specialists carries £1.5 million public liability insurance, which protects you and your property while we're on site.
- 05
- How quickly will you reply?If a roofer is slow to reply before you've paid, they're unlikely to be quicker afterwards. Customers regularly say we text back within minutes, and one told us seven other companies never sent a quote at all.
- 06
- What happens in an emergency?Roofs fail in storms, often out of hours. Our 24-hour emergency call-out means you've got someone to ring when it matters most.
