FAQs
What are the potential consequences of neglecting the maintenance of soffits, fascias, and guttering?
Neglect can lead to serious issues such as water damage, mould growth, or structural problems. Regular care is required to avoid these issues.
Regularly inspect your fascias and soffits to keep them in good shape. Look for any signs of wear and tear. It’s easy to clean your uPVC fascias and soffits – use a mild detergent and warm water to remove any dirt. Do not use an abrasive cleaner as this can cause damage to the uPVC.
Ensure you trim overhanging trees as they can cause damage to the surfaces and clog gutters with leaves and debris.
Caring for your uPVC fascias, soffits and gutters is essential to keep your home looking great and functioning correctly.
What do soffits and fascias do?
Soffits and fascias play crucial roles in protecting and finishing the exterior of your home.
The soffits are located under the roof’s overhand and ventilate the roof, allowing airflow to prevent moisture buildup, which is vital for reducing mould and extending the life of the roof. The roofline fascias (also known as fascia boards) are the horizontal boards that run along the edge of the roof, supporting the lower edge of the roof tiles and providing a service to attach the gutters. They protect your roof from water damage.
Together the soffits and fascias contribute to the overall structural integrity of your home.
Do I need to replace my soffits facias or guttering?
As your surface finishes and guttering are designed to protect your property, you need to replace them if there are signs of damage or weaknesses. You should look out for any visible cracks or leaks, as well as peeling paint and discolouration.
Are uPVC gutters better than metal ones?
uPVC systems are incredibly strong and durable, but also lighter and less expensive. They are also more resistant to the weather, flexible and easy to maintain – so there is no need for painting.
