Fascias Soffits Guttering in Burford, Oxfordshire

Most homeowners we speak to in Burford are rightfully concerned about the structural integrity of their rafters. It's a common trap to think a quick 'cap' is the answer. Capping is when a contractor simply nails a thin piece of uPVC over your old, wooden fascias. While it looks shiny for a few months, it's actually a recipe for disaster. It traps moisture against the old wood, speeding up the rot where you can't see it. It's a bit like putting a fresh coat of paint over a rusty car; the problem is still there, just hidden.At NTL Roofing, we do things the right way. We specialise in full replacements. This means we strip away the old, decaying timber, inspect your rafter feet for any damage, and then install a robust, 18mm thick uPVC fascia board. We also include eaves protectors and felt support trays to ensure that water always finds its way into the gutter, rather than ponding behind your boards. It's a 'fit and forget' solution that keeps your home weather-tight for decades.

Did you know that your roofline is responsible for letting your house 'breathe'? It sounds strange, but without proper soffit ventilation, the warm air from your home hits the cold underside of your roof tiles and turns into condensation. Over time, this dampness can lead to mould growth and weakened timbers in your loft space. We install modern uPVC soffits that come with built-in ventilation. This ensures a steady flow of air through your roof void, preventing that stuffy, damp environment. Whether your Burford property is a modern build or a more traditional home, we have styles to match, including the classic 'tongue and groove' effect. Plus, because it's uPVC, you'll never have to climb a ladder with a paintbrush ever again. Isn't that a relief?

We've all seen those gutters that sag in the middle or leak constantly from the joints. In West Oxfordshire, our gutters have to deal with some serious downpours. If your guttering system isn't up to the task, water can overflow and soak into your brickwork or, worse, pool around your foundations. This can lead to some very expensive damp issues down the line.We offer a range of guttering profiles to suit your home's specific needs:Half-round: The classic look for traditional Burford cottages.Square-line: A modern, sleek finish for contemporary properties.Deep-flow: Ideal for larger roofs or areas prone to heavy rainfall, providing significantly higher water capacity.All our systems are installed with high-quality downpipes and brackets that won't snap under the weight of snow or heavy rain. We can even install bird guards and 'hedgehog' gutter brushes to keep the local wildlife and falling leaves from causing a blockage.

If you're looking for that perfectly finished look, we highly recommend dry verge systems. Traditionally, the edges of your roof (the verges) were sealed with mortar. But as the house moves and the weather changes, that mortar cracks and falls out, leaving your roof tiles vulnerable to wind lift and letting birds nest in the gaps. Our uPVC dry verge caps clip securely over the edge, giving a clean, uniform finish that is completely maintenance-free.We also pay close attention to the bargeboards on your gable ends and the box ends where the different sections of your roofline meet. These are often the most visible parts of your roof, so we make sure they are custom-fitted and perfectly aligned. It’s these small details that really boost the 'kerb appeal' and value of your property in the Burford market.
