You may have noticed the paint peeling on your fascia boards, or the guttering starting to sag because the timber behind it is soft. Fascia boards do a critical job — they support the bottom row of tiles and carry the full weight of the guttering, so when they rot, the whole roofline is at risk. The guttering sags, the bottom row of tiles can slip, and water gets into the roof space where it rots the rafter feet. You may be worried about the cost and the disruption, but leaving rotten fascias in place is far more expensive in the long run. We can replace rotten timber with low-maintenance UPVC that never needs painting and protects the roofline for decades.
When You Need Fascia Repair or Replacement
You need fascia work when the paint is peeling or flaking, the timber looks soft or discoloured, the guttering is sagging away from the board, or you can see the bottom row of tiles dipping. Period properties in Amersham, Marlow and Winchester with original timber fascias are particularly prone to rot once water gets behind the paint, because the timber absorbs moisture, swells, and rots from the inside out. The damp South East England climate means timber fascias on any property will eventually fail if they are not maintained, and once the rot starts it spreads to the rafter feet and the structural timbers. Waiting means the rot spreads, the guttering pulls away, and the repair bill grows from a fascia board to structural timber work. If you are having your gutters replaced, it is the ideal time to check the fascias, because fitting new guttering to rotten boards will just sag and fail again. The decision between repair and replacement comes down to how much of the board is rotten — if it is a small section, a targeted repair may work, but if the rot is widespread, full replacement with UPVC is the better investment.
Our Fascia Process
We remove the old timber fascia boards carefully, check the rafter feet behind for rot, and replace any failed timbers with treated timber of the same size — because fitting a new fascia over rotten rafters is a waste of your money. We then fit new UPVC fascia boards, using full replacement boards that are structural and load-bearing, not thin cover boards that just hide the rot behind. The guttering is re-fitted to the new boards with proper brackets at the correct spacing, and the finish is colour-matched to your property and the Soffits if they are being replaced at the same time. We check the bottom row of tiles to make sure they are secure, because loose tiles are often a sign that the fascia has failed. Most fascia replacements are completed in one to two days, with the area left clean and tidy and all old timber taken away.
Fascia Cost in Iver
The cost depends on the length of the roofline, whether the rafter feet need repair, the height of the property, and the UPVC colour and profile you choose. A small bungalow with sound rafters costs less than a two-storey house with rotten rafter feet that need replacing. We give you a clear, written quote with the full price and materials list before any work begins — no hidden charges, no surprise add-ons. Every quote is free and carries no obligation, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you decide.
Why Choose Us for Fascias
We are a locally owned, Iver-based team. We replace fascias properly — full structural boards, not thin covers over rotten timber that just hide the problem. We check the rafter feet before fitting, because a new fascia on rotten timber is a waste of money and will fail again. We re-fit the guttering with proper brackets at the right spacing, because most gutter failures come from poor installation. We can replace the soffits at the same time for a clean, consistent roofline. We aim to respond the same day for enquiries, and we guarantee our workmanship, so if something we fitted fails, we come back and put it right. No hidden charges, no surprise add-ons, no pressure.
