Most house roofs are often fitted with timber fascia boards applied onto the rafters edges and hidden from the view. The area covered by soffits is located between the edge of the roofline and the wall. Fascia and soffits are extremely important for the structure of a property, and although not many owners are aware, these roofline products help you avoid frequent problems with your roof, tiles, guttering or roof void.

• Worn, cracked painting.
• Soft patches in the wood or even rot and holes.
• Signs of animals and rodents: mice, rats or squirrels can be a sign that your roofline is deteriorating.
• Water in the roof void and condensation.
• Lack of ventilation.
• Signs of asbestos used in current fascias and soffits.

When do you need to replace your fascia and soffits?
