Fascias, Soffits & Guttering Across Romford, Hornchurch & Upminster
Stonebase installs and repairs fascias, soffits and guttering across Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster and the surrounding areas.
Your roofline does more than finish the outside of the house. Fascias support the guttering, soffits protect and ventilate the underside of the roof, and properly fitted gutters carry rainwater away before it can damage walls, timber or brickwork.
If your existing boards are rotten, cracked or starting to pull away, we can remove the damaged material and replace it with durable, low-maintenance uPVC.
Fascia Replacement
Fascia boards run along the edge of the roof and provide a fixing point for the guttering. Older timber fascias can eventually rot, split or deteriorate where they have been repeatedly exposed to moisture.
We replace damaged fascia boards with uPVC systems that do not need regular painting and are designed to cope with years of exposure to the weather.
The existing roofline is checked before installation so any hidden deterioration can be dealt with rather than simply covered over.
Soffit Replacement
Soffits sit underneath the fascia and close off the underside of the roof at the eaves.
When soffits become damaged or rotten, they can leave the roofline vulnerable to moisture and allow pests into the roof space.
We replace old timber or damaged soffits with low-maintenance uPVC boards, giving the roofline a clean finish while helping protect the structure behind them.
Guttering
Damaged or poorly fitted guttering can cause water to overflow onto walls, fascias and brickwork instead of being carried safely away.
We install and replace uPVC guttering and downpipes, as well as repairing leaking joints, broken brackets and sections that have dropped out of alignment.
The guttering is fitted with the correct fall so rainwater flows towards the downpipes rather than sitting in the channel.
Fascia, Soffit & Gutter Repairs
A complete replacement is not always necessary.
If only one section of fascia, soffit or guttering is damaged, we can inspect the roofline and determine whether a local repair is enough.
Typical repairs include leaking gutter joints, loose brackets, damaged downpipes, cracked uPVC, sections that have come away from the roofline and isolated areas of deteriorated fascia or soffit.
Replace Old Timber With Low-Maintenance uPVC
Traditional timber roofline products can look good when they are new, but they need ongoing maintenance to prevent peeling paint and rot.
Modern uPVC fascias and soffits provide a cleaner, lower-maintenance alternative. They do not require painting and are available in different finishes to suit the appearance of the property.
A properly installed roofline also gives you the opportunity to deal with damaged timber, ventilation and worn eaves protection at the same time rather than simply covering an existing problem.
How do I know if my fascias and soffits need replacing?
Common signs include peeling paint, rotten timber, cracks, sections pulling away from the roofline and guttering that no longer sits securely. Damp or staining around the eaves can also indicate a problem.
Can you replace timber fascias with uPVC?
Yes. Old or rotten timber fascias and soffits can be removed and replaced with low-maintenance uPVC products.
Do you replace guttering at the same time?
Yes. Fascias, soffits and guttering are often replaced together because the guttering is fixed directly to the fascia. We can also replace or repair guttering separately where required.
Can fascias and soffits be repaired rather than replaced?
Sometimes. If the damage is limited to a small area, a local repair may be possible. If the timber is extensively rotten or several sections have failed, replacement will usually make more sense.
Why is soffit ventilation important?
Ventilation helps moisture escape from the roof space. Without enough airflow, condensation can contribute to damp, mould and deterioration of roof timbers.
What is an eaves guard?
An eaves guard is fitted at the lower edge of the roof to help direct rainwater from beneath the tiles into the gutter. It can be useful where the existing roofing felt has deteriorated around the eaves.
Do uPVC fascias and soffits need painting?
No. One of the main advantages of uPVC is that it does not need regular painting like traditional timber roofline products.
Do you repair leaking gutters?
Yes. We repair leaking joints, damaged sections, loose brackets and poorly aligned guttering as well as carrying out complete replacements.
