Fascia and Soffit

People often underestimate the importance of properly fitted and maintained fascia & guttering. Getting these simple things right can save you time and money. The purpose of guttering is to effectively direct water from the roof towards a downpipe. This then carries the water down to floor level and into a drainage system. This helps prevents walls becoming saturated with water, potentially causing damp.


Many properties now have PVC (polyvinyl chloride, basically plastic) fascia soffits and guttering; which is light weight and extremely easy to maintain. You can get them in variety of designs and colours to complement the rest of your house. The guttering also varies on design and colour depending on what you need. You can choose from square line, half round and some more fancy ones if you have a bigger budget. This could include guttering finished in copper or aluminium, which does have a bit of a wow factor, but in comparision to PVC, also has a wow price tag.
