Fascias, Soffits and Guttering Replacement in Harworth

The roofline is the part of the house that carries rainwater away and keeps the roof space ventilated. On a street of similar houses, you can often spot the ones with failing guttering from the green streaks down the brickwork. When it fails, water runs down the walls, and damp can reach the loft.

What roofline work covers

Fascia boards hold the gutters and support the edge of the roof, so a cracked or rotting board needs replacing along with a look at what lies behind it. Soffits close the gap under the eaves and are fitted with ventilation so the roof space can breathe.

Gutters and downpipes are often replaced at the same time, which makes sense, since access is already there and the new system can be lined up with the new boards. Leaving old cast or brittle gutters on fresh fascias is false economy. A complete roofline replacement means new fascias, soffits, gutters and downpipes in one go.

• Downpipes, bargeboards and dry verge systems

Spotting trouble early

Green staining under a joint, a gutter that drips after the rain has stopped and boards that have started to split are all worth acting on. Newer family homes can develop cracked fascia boards, and catching one early keeps the repair small. On older terraces, the problem is more often rot in timber boards and gutters that have been patched too many times.

Photos of the problem areas sent by call or WhatsApp to Evans Roofing are enough to start with, and we can quote from them once we know whether a repair or a full replacement is likely.
