Fascia and soffit replacement across Almondbank and the PH1 area. Rotten timber fascia, broken soffit boards, and failed gutter brackets all replaced with maintenance-free uPVC or aluminium. Free no-obligation quotes, no call-out fee.
The fascia and soffit boards on Almondbank's Victorian farm cottages and 1960s–80s private development are a frequent maintenance requirement. Timber fascia boards on pre-1990s properties typically rot from behind — moisture from the roof space condenses against the board without showing on the painted face until the rot is advanced. By the time a fascia board is visibly damaged, the guttering fixings are usually compromised too. We strip all old timber, treat any affected raftertail ends, and install uPVC or aluminium systems that are maintenance-free for the life of the property.
The Almond valley elevated humidity from the river with open western exposure in Almondbank means fascia and soffit boards on north-facing and west-facing elevations deteriorate faster than equivalent boards on sheltered Perth city properties. Ventilated soffit panels are important in the Perthshire climate to prevent condensation in the roof space from accelerating the decay of timbers directly above. All our soffit installations include the correct ventilation specification for the property type.
We survey fascia and soffit condition as part of any guttering inspection call. The two are closely related — failed fascia fixings are the most common cause of guttering that appears blocked but is actually sagging away from the building.

01738 245 298Fascia and soffit condition is closely linked to the guttering system performance. Failed fascia fixings are the most common cause of guttering that appears level but is actually pulling away from the building. We inspect both together on every site visit and price combined fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement where the scope warrants it. The combined job is more cost-effective than separate visits for each element.
Almondbank's Victorian farm cottages and 1960s–80s development each present specific requirements for this type of work. The Almond valley elevated humidity from the river in Almondbank means materials and specifications must be appropriate for the local conditions. We assess all of this at the free survey stage — the recommendation you receive will be specific to your property and its location in Almondbank, not a generic quote applied across a wide area.

Timber fascia boards rot from behind the painted face. The front surface can appear sound while the timber behind is soft and crumbling — the rot is driven by moisture from the roof space condensing against the back of the board, not by external weather on the front face. By the time visible damage appears, the guttering fixings have usually been compromised for some time. Inspection requires probing the back of the board at bracket positions and at the ends where water tracks in from above.
uPVC is the standard replacement material for post-war properties where the original profile was not architecturally significant. It is maintenance-free, cost-effective, and available in the profiles that match 1960s–80s estate housing. For Victorian and Edwardian properties where the original profile was a specific architectural element, cast aluminium is the better specification — it takes paint, holds its profile under loading, and does not suffer UV colour fade. We specify aluminium on all conservation area and listed building fascia work.
The soffit provides primary cold-roof ventilation. Adequate ventilation prevents condensation build-up in the roof space from saturating insulation and timbers. In Perthshire's damp climate, inadequate eaves ventilation is a primary driver of premature batten and deck deterioration on properties where the roof surface appears sound. All our soffit installations use ventilated panels appropriate for the roof structure above — the ventilation area is calculated against the roof pitch and span.
Guttering must be removed to replace fascia. Fascia must be removed to replace soffit. The access cost and scaffold are the same whether one element or all three are replaced. A combined fascia, soffit, and guttering replacement in a single visit costs 20–30% less than three separate visits over two or three years. We always survey all three together and present combined and individual costs so the decision is fully informed.
“Full fascia, soffit and guttering replacement on our 1970s semi. The old timber was rotten behind the paint — not obvious until they stripped it. Replacement uPVC system looks smart and the guttering now drains correctly.”
“Rotten fascia board on the north elevation had been letting water into the roof space. Perth Roofing stripped it back, replaced the fascia and soffit, and identified two raftertail ends needing treatment. Thorough job.”
“Fast quotation, on time, good clean finish on the uPVC. All the old timber removed and taken away. No issues since installation.”
Quality uPVC fascia and soffit systems carry a 10-year manufacturer guarantee and typically last 20–30 years in Perthshire conditions. They are maintenance-free beyond occasional cleaning. We specify roofline products from established manufacturers with full UK weather rating.
Yes. We strip all old timber fascia, soffit, and bargeboards before fitting uPVC. Capping over old timber traps moisture and guarantees premature failure. Any rotted raftertail ends exposed during stripping are cut back and treated as part of the standard scope.
Yes. uPVC fascia installation can be carried out year-round. We use internal expansion joints and correct fixing specifications for the ambient temperature at time of installation to account for thermal expansion in Scottish conditions.
A standard semi-detached in Almondbank typically costs £500–£1,200 for full fascia, soffit, and bargeboards in uPVC. Larger detached properties run £1,200–£2,500. We provide free, itemised no-obligation quotes across PH1.
We recommend replacing guttering at the same time as fascia — the guttering must be removed to access the fascia anyway, and refitting old guttering onto new fascia boards wastes the access cost. Combining both in one visit is the most cost-effective approach.
