Fascias Soffits Guttering in Fairford, Gloucestershire

Most homeowners we chat with have heard of 'capping'—the practice of simply nailing a new uPVC board over the old, rotten wood. While it might look okay for a few months, it's a bit like putting a clean plaster over an infected wound. The rot continues to spread underneath, eventually reaching your rafters and causing serious structural headaches. We don't cut corners like that. Our team performs full replacements, which means we strip away every bit of old timber, check the ends of your rafters for any damage, and install high-quality, 18mm thick uPVC fascias directly to the roof structure. We also fit eaves protectors and felt support trays as standard. These clever bits of kit prevent that annoying 'ponding' of water at the edge of your roof, ensuring every drop of rain goes exactly where it should: straight into your gutters.

Imagine never having to worry about painting your eaves again. That's the beauty of modern uPVC. Whether you live in a traditional Cotswold stone cottage or a more modern home in Gloucestershire, we have styles and colours to suit. From classic white to woodgrain effects and trendy anthracite grey, our installations instantly boost your property's kerb appeal. We pay close attention to the details that others might miss, like custom-fitting box ends where your fascias and bargeboards meet, and ensuring your soffit ventilation is spot on. Proper ventilation is crucial because it allows your loft to breathe, preventing the dreaded condensation and timber rot that can plague older homes during the cold Gloucestershire winters.

Does your guttering sound like a waterfall every time we get a bit of a storm? Leaking joints or sagging downpipes aren't just an eyesore; they can lead to damp walls and even foundation damage if left too long. We install a range of guttering profiles, including 'Half-round', 'Square-line', and 'Deep-flow' systems. For many properties in rural areas around Fairford, we often recommend Deep-flow guttering because it handles much higher volumes of water, keeping your masonry dry even during the heaviest rain. We make sure every inch is perfectly angled for optimum drainage, and because we're fully insured and licensed waste carriers, we'll take all your old, heavy cast iron or plastic gutters away with us, leaving your driveway spotless.

Still relying on old-fashioned mortar to keep your roof edges in place? In our experience, mortar is often the first thing to fail. It cracks with the frost, falls out, and leaves your roof vulnerable to wind uplift. We're big fans of modern dry verge and dry ridge systems. These are mechanical fixings that clip your tiles securely in place, creating a sleek, maintenance-free finish that won't blow away in a gale. They provide a much cleaner look to your gable ends and mean you'll never have to pay a builder to repoint your roof edges again. It’s a simple upgrade that adds a lot of security and value to your home.
