Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Kent

The parts at roof edge level take a constant battering, and they're easy to overlook until they fail.

Fascias, Soffits & Guttering in Kent

Fascias, soffits and guttering sit right at the edge of the roof, which means they catch every drop of water coming off it. Timber ones rot quietly behind paint for years before a section finally gives way, and guttering that's blocked, sagging or leaking at the joints sends water down the wall instead of away from the house.

We replace rotten timber fascias and soffits with modern low-maintenance uPVC where that suits the property, or repair and repaint timber where it's in keeping with a period house. Guttering gets cleared, refitted or replaced depending on its condition, with particular attention to joints and falls so water actually drains.

Across Kent, older cottages and farmhouses often still have timber fascias and cast iron or plastic guttering fitted decades ago, while newer estates generally have uPVC roofline that was fitted when the house was built and is now due for attention. Overflowing gutters are a common cause of damp at wall tops and rotten timber behind the roofline.

Local knowledge

What we're called out for

01

Rotten timber fascias

Paint can hide rot for a long time. Once it's soft or crumbling, it needs replacing rather than patching.

02

Sagging or leaking guttering

Joints fail and brackets work loose over time, sending water down the wall instead of into the downpipe.

03

Blocked gutters and valleys

Moss and debris build up and overflow, which eventually leads to damp at the top of walls and under eaves.

From the trade

Common questions

Can you replace timber fascias with uPVC?

Yes, where that suits the house. On period properties we can also repair or replace like-for-like in timber.

Do you clear gutters as well as replace them?

Yes. Sometimes a clear and reseal is all that's needed; we'll tell you if replacement is the better long-term option.

My gutters overflow in heavy rain. Is that serious?

It can lead to damp walls and rotten timber over time, so it's worth sorting before it causes further damage.
