📞 Call Now: 0172 223 9611Fascia and soffit replacement across Downton and surrounding SP5 villages. Rotten timber fascias from persistent gutter overflow replaced with maintenance-free 16mm cellular UPVC. Existing gutters retained where serviceable — we remove, replace the boards, and refit. Free surveys, competitive fixed pricing.
The high flood plain humidity, fast moss accumulation on north slopes and Avon flood plain, sheltered valley mean that gutter overflow from blocked gutters acts on Downton's fascia boards more aggressively than on drier sites. Given Pre-1900 conservation village core, post-war fringe, a significant proportion of Downton's housing carries original timber fascias now 40–60 years old that have been repeatedly wetted by overflow. Once timber fascias soften, gutter brackets lose their fixing and gutters begin to sag, causing a cascade of problems. UPVC replacement ends this cycle permanently.
| Property | UPVC Fascia & Soffit |
|---|---|
| 2-bed terrace / bungalow | £600–£900 |
| 3-bed semi-detached | £800–£1,300 |
| 3-bed detached | £1,000–£1,800 |

We remove existing guttering carefully, strip the old fascia and soffit boards, treat any exposed rafter feet for any rot that has tracked back, fit new 16mm UPVC fascia and ventilated soffit, then refit existing guttering where serviceable or fit new guttering where required. All debris cleared and disposed of. Typically one day for a standard semi.

📞 0172 223 9611Fascias and soffits are the boards behind your guttering and under the eaves — when they fail, it usually shows as rot, staining or peeling.
When it is not the answer: If the boards are sound and just tired-looking, cleaning or over-cladding may be enough — not every fascia needs full replacement. Read the full guide.
We check the boards, the rafter feet behind them and the eaves ventilation.
