Soffit & Fascia Repair & Installation in Brighton & Sussex

Soffit & Fascia Repair & Installation in Brighton & Sussex

The Perfect Finishing Touch to Protect Your Roof and Refresh Your Home

You may not notice them every day, but the boards that run along your roofline—the fascias and soffits—play a huge role in protecting your home from the weather and pests. They are the crucial link between your roof and your walls. When they are old, rotten, or damaged, they can let in water, which can lead to serious rot in your roof’s timber structure.

At Sussex Roofs, we specialise in repairing and replacing fascias and soffits for homeowners across Brighton and the surrounding Sussex area. We can replace old, high-maintenance wooden boards with modern, clean uPVC systems that not only look great but also provide lasting protection for your property, with no need for constant painting.

Want to give your home a fresh, clean look and protect it for years to come? Call us today on 073692 90576 for a free, no-obligation quote.

Our Specialist Soffit and Fascias Installations and Repairs

We offer a complete service for Soffit and Fascias Installations and Repairs, ensuring every aspect of your project is handled with professionalism and care.

What Are Fascias and Soffits?

It’s easy to get confused by the names, but their jobs are quite simple:

  • The Fascia Board: This is the long, straight board that runs along the lower edge of your roof. It’s fixed directly to the roof trusses and is the part that your guttering is attached to. It supports the bottom row of tiles and stops water from getting behind them.
  • The Soffit Board: This is the board you see when you look up at the roofline from below. It sits underneath the fascia board, bridging the gap between the fascia and the wall of your house. In many modern systems, the soffit has vents that allow air to flow into your loft space, which is vital for preventing damp and condensation.

Together, they seal your roof space from the elements, stop birds and pests from getting in, and give your roofline a neat, tidy appearance.

Our Soffit and Fascia Services

Whether you need a small repair or a full replacement, our team provides a professional, high-quality service from start to finish.

Soffit and Fascia Repairs

If you have a small area of rot or damage on your existing wooden boards, we may be able to carry out a localised repair. We can cut out the rotten section and replace it to prevent the problem from spreading. We can also re-secure loose boards and fix issues with blocked soffit vents.

Full uPVC Soffit and Fascia Replacement

For most homes with old timber boards, a full replacement with modern uPVC is the best long-term solution. Unlike wood, uPVC doesn’t rot, warp, or flake, and it never needs painting. It provides a durable, weatherproof, and maintenance-free finish that will keep your home looking smart for decades.

Our replacement process is thorough and correct—we never just cover over old, rotten wood.

  1. Full Removal: We start by completely removing your old fascia and soffit boards, along with the guttering.
  2. Rafter Inspection: This exposes the ends of your roof rafters. We thoroughly inspect them for any signs of rot or water damage and carry out any necessary repairs to ensure the foundations are solid.
  3. Professional Installation: We then expertly fit your new, high-quality uPVC soffits, fascias, and bargeboards (the boards on the gable ends of your house).
  4. Guttering and Finishing Touches: Finally, we install new guttering and downpipes, ensuring everything is perfectly aligned and sealed for maximum performance.

Why Upgrade to uPVC Fascias and Soffits?

Making the switch from old timber boards to modern uPVC is one of the best investments you can make in your property.

  • No More Painting, No More Rot: The biggest benefit is that you can forget about the endless cycle of sanding, priming, and painting your roofline every few years. uPVC is completely weather-resistant.
  • Improves Your Home’s Appearance: New fascias and soffits give your entire property an instant facelift. The clean, sharp lines provide a smart, modern finish that boosts kerb appeal.
  • Long-Lasting Protection: uPVC provides a tough, impenetrable barrier against wind and rain, protecting the vulnerable timber rafters of your roof from moisture and rot.
  • Proper Ventilation: We can install ventilated soffits that allow a steady flow of air into your roof space. This helps to prevent the build-up of condensation, which can lead to damp and mould in your loft.
  • Adds Value: A home with a new, maintenance-free roofline is more attractive to potential buyers, making it a sound investment.

Don’t Settle for a Quick Fix

Some companies offer to simply cap over your existing timber boards with a thin uPVC cover. This is a bad idea. It traps the old, rotting wood underneath, allowing the damp and decay to spread unseen into your main roof structure, causing far more serious and expensive damage. We always do the job properly by carrying out a full removal and replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know if my fascias and soffits need replacing?

Look for signs of flaking or peeling paint, soft or rotting patches of wood, and damp stains. You might also notice your gutters starting to pull away from the board. If you see birds or wasps disappearing into your roofline, it’s often a sign that they’ve found a hole in a rotten soffit.

How much does it cost to replace fascias and soffits?

The cost depends on the size of your property (e.g., a terraced house vs. a large detached house), the style of the boards you choose, and ease of access. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after measuring up your property, so you know the full cost upfront.

What colours are available?

While classic white is the most popular choice, uPVC fascias and soffits are available in a wide range of colours and woodgrain finishes, including black, grey, brown, and effects like oak or rosewood. We can show you samples to help you choose the perfect look for your home.

How long does the installation take?

For an average-sized semi-detached house, a full replacement of fascias, soffits, and guttering typically takes 2-3 days to complete. We work efficiently and always leave your property clean and tidy at the end of each day.

Does this work require scaffolding?

The safety of our team and your property is our top priority. For most two-storey properties, we will need to erect scaffolding to provide a safe, stable platform to work from. This will be included in our quotation. For bungalows, we can often work safely from ladders or mobile tower scaffolds.
