uPVC Fascias, Soffits & Gutters

First impressions is one of the most important factors when buying a house. With this in mind it is vital your property is not blighted by rotting fascias and leaking gutters, which prospective viewers will see first.

Most homes have fascias, soffits and bargeboards, and many have panels of softwood timber cladding. As with timber windows, these need regular expensive maintenance with painting or ongoing repairs - and it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain these hard to reach areas.

Full Replacement or Cap-Over

Too often we have seen customers having capping boards fitted over existing softwood / timber fascias rather than having the old rotten timber completely removed and replaced with uPVC fascias. This may seem the more cost effective option when presented to you in the short term, but over the long run is it really such a good idea? The rotten wood hasn’t gone anywhere; it is still there, deteriorating even more each year. Eventually the nails will come loose due to rotted and infested wood, leaving your fascias exposed and unsecured.

uPVC Roofline versus Softwood Timber

As we all know, wood is a very porous material. Once water has breached the outer layer, it is only a matter of when and not if it will need replacing. This then paves the way for woodworm and structural damage. uPVC rooflines will not rot, will never need painting, will not discolour and will remain maintenance free for many years to come - requiring the occasional clean with warm soapy water.

Ventilation

Circulating air in your roof helps reduce the build up of condensation which causes damp, mould and rotten timbers. Ventilation systems ensure a long-life for roof timbers. With Conservatory Outlet's roofline range you can choose between uPVC fascia ventilation or soffit air vents to protect your uPVC roofline and roof from moisture retention.

Eaves Guard, Gutter Guard & Insect Guard

Rotten timber fascias are usually the result of water ingress, via broken tiles, cracked verges or damaged felt. The old exposed strip of felt is the area most prone to damage. Often the fascia exterior looks intact, masking the deterioration behind. Inspection and replacement of eaves felt is an essential part of uPVC roofline installation.

Keep gutters free from debris with our latest Gutter Guard protection. Effective in preventing leaves, twigs, moss and birds nests from blocking rainwater flow. For added protection against infestation, you can choose to have insect guard installed above you vented soffit boards. Insect guard will form an effective barrier against unwanted vermin in your roof space.
